REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 27, § 710B(b), (c), and (d).

In subsection (a)(1) of this section, the limitation "[s]ubject to subsection
(b) of this section" is added for clarity. The State is required to provide a
subsidy only for those inmates specified in subsection (b) of this section.

Also in subsection (a)(1) of this section, the reference to a county or
counties "in a region" is added for clarity and consistency within this
subtitle.
