Legislative History
(1969, P.A. 298, S. 1; P.A. 73-42.) History: P.A. 73-42 allowed 1-day deduction for 7 consecutive days served rather than 26 days for 180 consecutive days served. Commissioner, provided he does not act illegally, arbitrarily or in abuse of discretion, need not deduct time to be served from prisoner's sentence under statute if prisoner fails to observe rules incident to requisite job assignment. 181 C. 286.
