(3) THE GOVERNOR PROMPTLY SHALL NOTIFY THE COMMISSIONER OF
AN ORDER THAT REVOKES A WARRANT OF EXECUTION.

(G) TIME OF EXECUTION.

(1) THE COMMISSIONER SHALL SET A TIME, WITHIN THE PERIOD
DESIGNATED IN THE WARRANT OF EXECUTION, WHEN THE SENTENCE OF DEATH
SHALL BE EXECUTED.

(2) NO PREVIOUS ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE DAY OR TIME OF THE
EXECUTION MAY BE MADE EXCEPT TO THOSE WHO ARE INVITED OR ALLOWED TO BE
PRESENT AS PROVIDED IN THIS SUBTITLE.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 27, § 75.

In subsection (a)(2)(ii)l of this section, the reference to "§ 645A(a)(2)(iii)" of
Art. 27 is substituted for the former incorrect reference to "§ 645A(a)(2)(ii)"
of Art. 27.

In subsections (a)(3) and (c) of this section, the references to an
"individual" are substituted for the former references to a "person" because
only human beings, and not the other entities included in the defined term
"person", can be sentenced to death. See § 1-101 of this article for the
definition of "person".

In subsection (b)(1)(iii) of this section, the reference to the "Commissioner"
is substituted for the former reference to a "warden", as the individual
commanded to execute a death sentence, for consistency with subsection (c)
of this section.

In subsection (c) of this section, the former reference to the judge "or
judges" is deleted in light of Art. 1, § 8, which provides that the singular
generally includes the plural.

Also in subsection (c) of this section, the former requirement that the judge
"make out" and "sign" a warrant of execution is deleted as included in the
requirement that the judge "issue" a warrant of execution.

In subsection (d)(2) and (3) of this section, the former references to the
"trial" court in which the sentence was imposed are deleted as implicit in
the references to the "court" in which the sentence was imposed.

In subsection (e)(1) and (2) of this section, the former references to a
"female" inmate are deleted as implicit in the references to a "pregnant"
inmate.

In subsection (e)(1) of this section, the reference to an inmate who is
"sentenced to the punishment of death" is deleted as implicit in the
reference to an inmate who is subject to a "warrant of execution".

Also in subsection (e)(1) of this section, the former reference to a warrant of
execution "previously issued" is deleted as implicit in the reference to a
