(2) THE COST OF THE INMATE'S FOOD, LODGING, AND CLOTHING.
(C) DUTIES OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS SHALL;

(1) ESTABLISH THE PER DIEM RATE FOR AN INMATES FOOD, LODGING,
AND CLOTHING; AND

(2) DESIGNATE AN AGENT TO COLLECT THE COSTS SPECIFIED IN THIS

SECTION.

REVISOR'S NOTE: Subsection (a) of this section is new language added to
clarify that this section applies only in Caroline County.

Subsections (b) and (c) of this section are new language derived without
substantive change from former Art. 27, § 645AA, as it applied in Caroline
County.

In subsection (b) of this section, the reference to "confined" is substituted
for the former reference to "incarcerated" for consistency throughout this
article. See General Revisor's Note to this article.

Also in subsection (b) of this section, the phrase "while in the jail", which
formerly modified the reference to "the cost of their own food, lodging, and
clothing", is deleted as unnecessary in light of the reference in the
introductory language of this subsection to an inmate "[w]hile confined in
the Caroline County Jail".

The Correctional Services Article Review Committee notes, for
consideration by the General Assembly, that subsection (b) of this section
sets forth rules governing the disposition of an inmate's earnings. The
Committee further notes that there are significant inconsistencies
throughout this article in statutory provisions governing the disposition of
an inmate's earnings in different contexts. See, e.g., 3-804, 3-807(e)(1),
9-504(d), 9-512(b), 11-319(b), 11-407(b), 11-604, 11-703(d)(4), 11-704(d),
11-705(i), 11-708(b)(7), 11-711(g), 11-712(c)(5), 11-714(c)(4), 11-715(e),
11-716(g), 11-717(e), 11-718(e), 11-719(b), 11-722(b), 11-724(g), and
11-725(b) of this article and accompanying Revisor's Notes. The General
Assembly may wish to examine all of the relevant provisions and
determine whether they should be changed to reflect a more consistent
policy in this area.

In the introductory language of subsection (c) of this section, the phrase
"[i]n their respective counties", which formerly modified the reference to
the duties of the County Commissioners to "[e]stablish the per diem rate"
and "[d]esignate an agent", is deleted as unnecessary because this section
applies only in Caroline County. See § 11-725 of this subtitle for the
revision of former Art. 27, § 645AA as it applied to Worcester County.

In subsection (c)(1) of this section, the reference to "an inmate's" food,
lodging, and clothing is added to state expressly that which was only
