"awarded under §§ 11-503 (presentence good conduct) and 11-504
(postsentence good conduct) of this subtitle" is added for consistency with
subsections (b) and (c) of this section.

Also in subsection (a) of this section, the reference to revoking diminution
credits awarded "for" the month in which the violation occurs is
substituted for the former reference to revoking diminution credits
awarded "in" the month in which the violation occurs to state expressly
that which was only implied in the former law, i.e., the maximum number
of credits that can be revoked under this subsection is 5 days.

The introductory clause of subsection (b) of this section, which provides
that the revocation authorized by this subsection is "[i]n addition to the
revocation authorized under subsection (a) of this section" is added to state
expressly that which was only implied in the former law.

In subsection (c) of this section, the reference to "diminution credits
awarded" to an inmate is substituted for the former reference to

 "deductions allowed and earned" for consistency within this subtitle. See
also § 3-709 of this article. No substantive change is intended.

In subsection (d) of this section, the prohibition against a "managing
official ... revok[ing] diminution credits" is substituted for the former
prohibition against an "inmate ... forfeit[ing] time gained" for clarity

 because an inmate does not lose "time gained" unless the managing official
takes action to revoke diminution credits.

Defined terms: "Inmate" § 1-101

"Local correctional facility" § 1-101
"Managing official" § 1-101

11-508. COMMITMENT TO CUSTODY OF COMMISSIONER OF CORRECTION OR
TRANSFER TO OTHER LOCAL CORRECTIONAL FACILITY.

IF AN INMATE IS COMMITTED TO THE CUSTODY OF THE COMMISSIONER OF
CORRECTION OR TRANSFERRED TO ANOTHER LOCAL CORRECTIONAL FACILITY:

(1) THE INMATE'S RECORD OF ACCRUED DIMINUTION CREDITS SHALL
BE FORWARDED TO THE RECEIVING CORRECTIONAL FACILITY; AND

(2) THE RECEIVING CORRECTIONAL FACILITY SHALL APPLY THE
CREDITS TO REDUCE THE INMATE'S TERM OF CONFINEMENT.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 27, § 704A(h).

In the introductory language of this section, the former reference to an
inmate being "ultimately" committed to the custody of the Commissioner is
deleted as surplusage.

In item (2) of this section, the reference to the inmate's "term" of
confinement is substituted for the former reference to the inmate's "period"
