10-406. STAFF.

THE DEPARTMENT SHALL PROVIDE STAFF TO A COMMITTEE IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THE STATE BUDGET.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section formerly was Art. 41, § 4-1103(b).

The only changes are in style.

Defined terms: "Committee" § 10-401
"Department" § 1-101

10-407. POWERS.

A COMMITTEE MAY:

(1) REPORT TO THE COMMISSIONER OF CORRECTION AND THE
GOVERNOR ABOUT THE CONCERNS OF THE PEOPLE WHO RESIDE IN THE VICINITY OF
EACH STATE CORRECTIONAL FACILITY ASSIGNED TO THE COMMITTEE;

(2) BE AVAILABLE TO INTERPRET PROGRAMS AND PROBLEMS RELATING
TO EACH STATE CORRECTIONAL FACILITY ASSIGNED TO THE COMMITTEE TO THE
PEOPLE WHO RESIDE IN THE VICINITY OF EACH FACILITY; AND

(3) PERFORM OTHER SERVICES AND RESPONSIBILITIES CONSIDERED
NECESSARY.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 41, §§ 4-1101(b) and 4-1103(a).

In items (1) and (2) of this section, the references to each facility "assigned
to the committee" are added to state expressly that which was only implied
in the former law, i.e., that a committee's duties relate only to the
correctional facilities to which the committee is assigned.

Also in items (1) and (2) of this section, the references to the "people who
reside" in the vicinity of a State correctional facility are substituted for the
former references to the "citizens residing" for clarity because the meaning
of the term "citizen" is unclear.

Defined terms: "Committee" § 10-401

"Commissioner of Correction" § 1-101
"State correctional facility" § 1-101

SUBTITLE 5. INMATE WELFARE FUNDS.
10-501. "FUND" DEFINED.

IN THIS SUBTITLE, "FUND" MEANS AN INMATE WELFARE FUND ESTABLISHED
UNDER § 10-502 OF THIS SUBTITLE.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language added to avoid repetition of the
longer term "inmate welfare fund".
