REVISOR'S NOTE: Subsections (a), (b), and (c) of this section are new language
derived without substantive change from former Art. 64A, § 48B(a), (b),
(c)(1), and (c)(2)(i).

Subsection (a)(3)(ii)3 of this section is new language added for clarity
inasmuch as those affected by this exclusion are covered separately by the
provisions of § 8-109 of this subtitle.

In subsection (a)(2)(ii) of this section, the phrase "as defined in Article 73B,
§ 9-101 of the Code" is added to conform to the cross-reference in subsection
(a)(4)(ii) of this section.

In subsection (a)(3) of this section, the term "retiree" is substituted for the
former reference to a "beneficiary" for clarity.

In subsection (a)(4)(iv) of this section, the reference to a correctional officer
"under Title 7 of Article 73B of the Code" is substituted for the former,
erroneous reference to a correctional officer "as defined in Article 73B, § ...
7-101 ... of the Code"; the term "correctional officer" is ho longer defined in
Art. 73B, § 7-101.                                                                             

In subsection (a)(4)(vi) of this section, the specific reference to a "State police
officer, as defined in Article 73B, § 6-101 of the Code" is substituted for the
former reference to an "employee ... as defined in Article 73B, § ... 6-101 ... of
the Code" for clarity.

Subsection (a)(4)(vii) of this section is new language added to state explicitly
what merely was implied in the former law — i.e., law enforcement officers
perform "State service" for which credit is given for purposes of this section;

In subsection (b)(2)(i) of this section, the reference to the "surviving spouse
or dependent child of a deceased retiree who was eligible to enroll" is
substituted for the former reference to "designated beneficiaries" for clarity.

Former Art. 64A, § 48B(d), which required participants to pay costs not
included in the State subsidy, is deleted as redundant.         

Defined term: "Program" § 8-101

8-109. SAME — EMPLOYEES WITH OPTIONAL RETIREMENT.
