member in service in the State Employees' Retirement System who

employee of a municipal corporation in this State and pursuant to
this sub-title "Employees of Municipal Corporations" in said Article
73B, who was at least 68 years and 6 months of age, and less than
70 years of age as of January 1, 1957, shall be continued in such
service by his appointing authority after he reaches the age of 70
years, until such member has served six calendar quarters in such
service after January 1, 1957, or until he has served the minimum
number of calendar quarters for him to qualify for minimum Social
Security benefits; but in no event shall such extended employment in
service continue beyond July 1, 1958. Such a continuation in em-

employment requirements concerning State employees.

automatically and with no further action required by the General
Assembly of Maryland, on July 1, 1958.

to be an emergency measure and necessary for the immediate preser-
vation of the public health and safety, and having been passed by a
yea and nay vote, supported by three-fifths of all the members elected
to each of the two Houses of the General Assembly of Maryland, the
same shall take effect from the date of its passage.

Approved April 10, 1957.
