In subsection (b)(1)(ii) of this section, the former reference to "rules" and
regulations is deleted for consistency throughout this article. See General
Revisor's Note to this article.

in the reference to "home detention program".

section authorizes a "sentencing judge" to place an individual in home
detention. Subsection (b)(2)(i) is silent as to what happens when the
sentencing judge is unable to act on the matter. The General Assembly
