REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 27, § 645S.

The provisions of former Art. 27, §§ 645K through 645S, which are revised
in this subtitle, set forth general rules governing work release for local
correctional facilities. The provisions of former Art. 27, §§ 645T through
645MM, which are revised in Subtitle 7 of this title, set forth rules
governing work release and other alternatives to incarceration in
particular counties. All of these provisions were in the same subtitle in
former Art. 27, which was entitled "Employment of Prisoners". Subsection
(a) of this section clarifies that the general provisions of this subtitle do not
apply when there are conflicting provisions in Subtitle 7 of this title
relating to work release and other alternatives to incarceration in
particular counties.
