REVISOR'S NOTE: This section formerly was Art. 41, § 4-1413.

Former Art. 41, § 4-1413 related to the transfer of the assets and property
of the former Baltimore City Jail to the State. This provision is not
retained in the Code because of its limited and diminishing applicability.
However, it is transferred to the Session Laws to avoid any inadvertent
substantive effect that its repeal might have.

No changes are made.

system to a different personnel system, from the unclassified service to the classified
service, from the classified service to the unclassified service, or otherwise from one
employment status to a different employment status.

SECTION 9. AND BE IT FURTHER ENACTED, That if a revised
