REVISOR'S NOTE: Subsection (a) of this section is new language added to
avoid repetition of the full title of the "Director of the Montgomery County
Department of Correction and Rehabilitation".

Subsection (b) of this section is new language added to clarify that this
section applies only in Montgomery County.

Subsections (c) through (g) of this section are new language derived
without substantive change from former Art. 27, § 645T.

Throughout this section, the references to an "individual" are substituted
for the former references to a "person" because only a human being, and
not the other entities included in the defined term "person", can be
detained or sentenced to confinement. See § 1-101 of this article for the
definition of "person".

In subsection (c)(1) of this section, the word "shall" is substituted for the
former phrase "is authorized and directed to" for consistency throughout
this article with regard to mandatory language. 

In subsection (c)(2) of this section, the phrase "may leave" is substituted for
 the former phrase "may be granted the privilege of leaving" for brevity.

Also in subsection (c)(2) of this section, the reference to an "inmate of" the
Department of Correction and Rehabilitation is substituted for the former
reference to persons "detained or sentenced" to the Department for
consistency throughout this article. See § 1-101 of this article for the
definition of "inmate". Similarly, in subsection (d)(1) of this section, the
reference to a judge's authority to approve the transfer of an "inmate" is
substituted for the former reference to a judge's authority to approve the
transfer of a "person who is detained or sentenced".

In subsection (d)(2) of this section, the phrase "work release or prerelease
program" is substituted for the former phrase "correctional program" for
consistency within this section.

In subsection (e)(1) of this section, the former reference to "surrender[ing]"
earnings is deleted as included in the reference to "collect[ing]" earnings.
