OTHER CHARGES FOR THE RENTAL OR PURCHASE OF TERMINAL DEVICES AND THE
CIRCUITRY NECESSARY TO CONNECT WITH THE DEPARTMENT'S COMPUTER OR
COMMUNICATION SYSTEM.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 88B, § 7.

In the introductory language of subsection (a) of this section, the reference
to "a computer or communication system" is substituted for the former
reference to "any computer ... or other communication system" for clarity.
Consequently, throughout subsections (b) and (c) of this section, references
to a "computer or communication system" are added for consistency with
subsection (a) of this section.

Also in the introductory language of subsection (a) of this section, the
former reference to a State unit "authorized by the Department" is deleted
as redundant.

In subsection (c)(1) of this section, the phrase "as provided in the State
budget" is substituted for the former phrase "[t]o the extent permitted by
specific budget appropriation" to conform to language used in other revised
articles of the Code.

Defined terms: "Department" § 2-101
"Law enforcement agency" § 2-101
"Rule" § 2-101
"Secretary" § 2-101
