Finance for the Mayor and City Council of Baltimore City. Each
elected judge in active service on June 30, 1970, who elects to be
under the contributory pension plan shall contribute toward the
cost of his pension in an amount equal to six per cent (6%) of his
annual compensation earned thereafter which shall be deducted from
his compensation each pay period and paid to the Mayor and City
Council of Baltimore City. Any such judge who initially does not
elect to be under the contributory pension plan provided for in this
section, but later wishes to do so, must, upon such election, pay in a
lump sum in addition to the annual contributions provided for in
this section, an amount equal to the contributions he would have
made, if initially under this plan for each year after the 30th day of
June, 1970, plus interest of four per cent (4%). All judges taking
office after June 30, 1970, shall be under the contributory pension
plan as herein provided. Any judge covered by the contributory pen-
sion plan provided for in this section, who is not elected to a full
term, following his appointment, shall be paid the amount of his
accumulated contributions plus interest of four percentum (4%)
from the date or dates of payment, and shall not be entitled to any
pension under this section.

Any judge covered by the contributory pension plan provided for
in this section who resigns, for reasons other than disability, prior
to reaching sixty years of age, shall be entitled to allow his contribu-
tions to remain in the pension system and shall at sixty years of age
be entitled to a pension as provided in this section; or shall be
entitled to withdraw his accumulated contributions plus interest at
four per centum (4%) calculated from the date or dates of payment
and shall forfeit any pension rights under the provisions of this
section. In no event shall any judge make the contributions provided
for by this section for more than sixteen years. The Mayor and City
Council of Baltimore are hereby expressly authorized to levy for
such pensions or salaries, or their proportionate share thereof as
the case may be, and pay such pensions or salaries to former judges
of said People's Court of Baltimore City.

Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That this Act shall take effect
July 1, 1970.
