REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 27, § 700(d).

In subsection (a) of this section, the language in former Art. 27, § 700(d)(1)
that made this section "subject to the inmate's future good conduct" is
deleted as unnecessary in light of § 3-709 of this subtitle, which provides
that diminution credits may be revoked for a violation of disciplinary rules.
No substantive change is intended.

The Correctional Services Article Review Committee notes, for
consideration by the General Assembly, that the reference to a "maximum"
term of confinement in subsection (b)(l)(i) of this section does not appear to
add anything to the meaning of "term of confinement" as defined in §
3-701 of this subtitle. The General Assembly may wish to delete the word
"maximum".
