conviction for a "crime of violence" applies only to the current conviction or
to prior convictions as well. The General Assembly may wish to clarify
whether this provision was intended to apply to individuals who have a
prior conviction for a crime of violence but who are currently being
considered for assignment to a work project after being convicted of a
crime other than a crime of violence. See also § 8-703 and accompanying
Revisor's Note.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 27, § 726A(d).

In subsection (a) of this section, the reference to "[p]rivate" nonprofit
charitable institutions is deleted as implicit in the reference to a "nonprofit

In subsection (b)(1) of this section, the reference to a "local" participating
agency is deleted as unnecessary in light of the definition of "participating
agency" in § 8-701(c) of this subtitle.

Also in subsection (b)(1) of this section, the reference to "relevant"
information is deleted as redundant of the reference to "any information
useful for assigning ... [a] work project".
