previously held ... or ... to a position of equal responsibilities, qualifications,
and rate of pay"; and § 11-205(b), referring to the "reinstate[ment]" of
disabled veterans "to a position that ... provides the ... pay, seniority, and
status that are the same as or as similar as ... circumstances ... allow to ... the
position previously held".

In this regard, the State Personnel Article Review Committee notes, for
consideration by the General Assembly, that the Committee is uncertain
whether and to what extent this definition was intended to apply to all other
uses in this Division I of "reinstate" or only to one or another specific use of
the term. See, e.g., § 3-307(c) ("reinstate[ment]" under the Whistleblower
Law); § 4-205(b)(4) (preference for veterans upon "reemployment ... or
reinstatement"); § 4-402(a) (probation when employee is "reinstated"); §
9-405(c) ("reinstate[ment]" of suspended employee after management delay);
§ 11-101 (period for "reinstatement"); and § 11-102 (benefits for employee
with an "authorized status of reinstatement").
