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

In subsections (a) and (b) of this section, the references to "grant[ing]"
leave are substituted for the former references to "authoriz[ing]" leave for
consistency with subsection (c) of this section and §§ 3-801(b), 3-802(a)
and (b), 3-807(b), 3-808, 3-810(a), and 3-811(a) and (b)(1) of this subtitle.

In subsection (a)(1) of this section, the reference to a correctional facility
"in" the Division is substituted for the former reference to correctional
facilities "under the Commissioner's jurisdiction" for consistency
throughout this article. See General Revisor's Note to this article.

In subsection (b)(1) of this section, the former reference to allowing "time"
for an employment interview is deleted as implicit in the reference to
granting "leave" for an employment interview.

In subsection (c)(1)(i)2 of this section, the reference to the inmate's direct
"Division" supervisor is added to state expressly that which was only
implied in the former law, i.e., the recommendation must come from the
appropriate official of the Division and not from the inmate's prerelease
employer. See also § 3-802(a)(2) of this subtitle.

In subsection (c)(2) of this section, the former reference to a weekend
"consist[ing] of a period of time" is deleted as unnecessary in light of the
specific reference to particular times.

Also in subsection (c)(2) of this section, the reference to weekend "leave" is
added to state expressly that which was formerly only implied in the
reference to "weekend".
