THEODORE R. MCKELDIN, GOVERNOR 587

pointed by the Governor for a six (6) year term. The Chief
Deputy Comptroller, the Director of the Budget and the
Commissioner of Personnel shall serve as ex-officio mem-
bers of said board, to act in an advisory capacity, but with-
out the privilege of voting on matters before the said board.
Such members shall serve without compensation. Pro-
vided, however, that none of the present incumbents, other
than ex-officio members of the Board as heretofore con-
stituted, shall be disqualified for re-appointment to the
Board by reason of their holding public office.

25. The Commissioner shall be responsible for develop-
ing all data, including but not limited to tables, charts, job
descriptions, job comparisons and ratings for use of the
Standard Salary Board. It shall be the duty of the Board
to consider the materials developed by the Commissioner,
and [After] after consultation with appointing authorities,
the State Employees Standard Salary Board shall prepare
and recommend to the Governor a pay plan for all classes
of positions in both the Classified and Unclassified Service
to the end that all positions in such services involving com-
parable duties, experience, responsibilities and authority
shall be paid in accordance with the standard salary sched-
ule. In establishing rates of pay, the State Employees
Standard Salary Board shall give consideration to ex-
perience, the prevailing rates of pay for the services per-
formed, and for comparable services in public and private
employment, living costs, maintenance or other benefits re-
ceived by employees, and the State's financial condition
and policies. Such pay plan shall take effect and shall have
the force and effect of law when approved by the Governor.
Amendments thereto may, from time to time, be recom-
mended by the Board and when approved by the Governor
shall have the force of law in the same manner as if they
had been originally incorporated in the schedule. Each
employee in the Classified and in the Unclassified Service
shall be paid at one of the rates set forth in the pay plan
for the grade or class of positions in which he is employed.
The pay plan shall be used by the Governor in the prepara-
tion and submission of his budget. Provided, however, that
positions upon the faculties of the University of Maryland,
State Teachers' Colleges and Morgan State College, but not
the non-instructional personnel of such institutions, shall
be excluded from said pay plan and from the jurisdiction
of the State Employees Standard Salary Board.

The said Board shall, when necessary, visit the various
State agencies to determine whether or not an employee
