1246 Laws of Maryland [Ch. 381
In the determination of average final compensation, any extraordi-
nary salary increase in the last year prior to retirement shall be
excluded;, and for this purpose an extraordinary salary increase is
an increase in earnable compensation for the particular year, over
the earnable compensation for the next prior year, which much
exceeds an average or usual increase from year to year and which,
because of the unusual increase, would cause on inequity to the
Retirement System and the members and beneficiaries thereof and
to the fair purpose of the Retirement System if made the basis for
determining average final compensation in this instance. The THE
Board of Trustees by a rule of general application shall determine
what constitutes an extraordinary salary increase.
