REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 27, § 710C(a) and (e).

In the introductory language of subsections (a) and (c)(2) and subsections
(b)(1) and (c)(3) of this section, the references to the defined term "inmate"
are substituted for the former references to "person" for consistency
throughout this article. See, e.g., §§ 11-310 and 11-317 of this subtitle; see
also General Revisor's Note to this article.

In subsection (a)(1) of this section, the former reference to a person who is
"considered" a resident of a county is deleted as surplusage.

In subsection (b)(2) of this section, the authority of the director to approve
a "placement" is substituted for the former reference to the approval of a
"transfer" for consistency with subsection (a) of this section.

In subsection (c)(1) of this section, the former reference to
"notwithstanding subsection (a) of this section" is deleted to avoid
interlocking exceptions in light of the introductory clause, "[e]xcept as
provided in subsection (c) of this section" in subsection (a) of this section.

In the introductory language of subsection (c)(2) of this section, the
reference to "a center operated by Cecil County" is substituted for the
former reference to "the center" to state expressly that which was only
implied in the former law.

In subsection (c)(2)(iv) of this section, the reference to an inmate being
"screened by a center staff member and approved by the center director in
accordance with subsection (b) of this section" is substituted for former Art.
