30                                       LAWS OF MARYLAND                            [Ch. 2

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language
representing the balance of Art. 26,
§47(a), except for its last sentence. In
addition, the provision pertaining to 1972
salary increases has been dropped as
obsolete.

SEC. 1-704. BUDGET TREATMENT - JUDICIAL SALARIES.

ANY INCREASE IN JUDICIAL SALARY SHALL BE INCLUDED
IN THE PORTION OF THE BUDGET BILL RELATING TO THE
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, AND NOT THE PORTION RELATING TO
THE JUDICIARY DEPARTMENT. ANY PROPOSED INCREASE IN
JUDICIAL SALARY IS SUBJECT TO LEGISLATIVE REVIEW AND
APPROVAL.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is based on the last
sentence of Art. 26, §47(a), as enacted by
Ch. 343, Acts of 1972. Although it may
have been rendered unnecessary by the
ratification of Ch. 373, Acts of 1972, by
the voters, it is a recent expression of
legislative intention, and the 1972
Legislative Council Joint Committee on
Revision of Art. 26 directed that the
provision be retained.

SEC. 1-705. SUPPLEMENTATION OF SALARY PROHIBITED.
(A) SUPPLEMENTATION DEFINED.

IN THIS SUBTITLE, "SUPPLEMENTATION" MEANS ANY
PAYMENT FROM A POLITICAL SUBDIVISION TO A JUDGE OR THE
SURVIVING SPOUSE OF A JUDGE, BY WAY OF SALARY,
ALLOWANCES, OR PENSION. THE WORD INCLUDES, BUT IS NOT
LIMITED TO, ANY PAYMENT IN THE FORM OF SALARY, BONUS,
PENSION, SPOUSE'S BENEFIT, OR EXPENSE OR TRAVEL
ALLOWANCE EXCEPT: (1) REIMBURSABLE EXPENSES ACTUALLY
INCURRED IN CONNECTION WITH THE DUTIES OF JUDICIAL
OFFICE TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY §1-706; AND (2) ANY
PENSION SUPPLEMENTATION EXPRESSLY PERMITTED BY PUBLIC
GENERAL LAW. "SUPPLEMENTATION" EXCLUDES PAYMENT OF
BENEFITS UNDER A LOCAL GROUP HEALTH OR HOSPITALIZATION
PLAN IF A JUDGE IS ENTITLED TO THOSE BENEFITS BY LAW.

REVISOR'S NOTE: Sec. 1-705(a) is essentially the
first sentence of Art. 26, §47(c), enacted
by Ch. 343, Acts of 1972. Since a limited
degree of pension supplementation is
permitted (e.g. Art. 26, §48(h)) the second
exception clause is required. The last
