(II) THE COUNTY FAILS TO PROVIDE FOR THE LOCATION OF A
CENTER AFTER A REASONABLE TIME.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 27, § 706.

In the introductory language of this section, the former word "declares" is
deleted as redundant of the word "finds" and for consistency with similar
provisions elsewhere in the revised articles of the Code. See, e.g., BR §
3-102 and IN § 7-102.

In items (1) and (2) of this section, the references to "individuals" are
substituted for the former references to "persons" because only a human
being, and not the other entities included in the defined term "person", can
be rehabilitated. See § 1-101 of this article for the definition of "person".

In item (3) of this section, the reference to the "public" is substituted for
the former reference to the "people" for consistency with terminology used
elsewhere in the revised articles of the Code. See General Revisor's Note to
this article.

In items (3) and (4) of this section, the references to "counties" and "county"
are substituted for the former references to "local government" for
consistency within this subtitle, which refers exclusively to "county" rather
than "local government" throughout.

In item (4) of this section, the reference to the defined term "center" is
substituted for the former reference to a "facility" for consistency within
this subtitle. See § 11-301 of this subtitle for the definition of "center".

In item (4)(ii) of this section, the reference to the county "fail[ing]" to
provide for the location of a center after a reasonable time is substituted
for the former reference to "the inability of" the county to provide for the
location of a center in light of § 11-307(e) of this subtitle, which provides
that the Secretary shall declare a county or counties in default if the
county or counties fail to submit a proposed site and plans within a certain
period of time.

Defined terms: "Center" § 11-301
