Ch. 10

(2) "UNCLASSIFIED SERVICE" DOES NOT INCLUDE ANY POSITION THAT
IS:

(I)      INCLUDED IN THE CLASSIFIED SERVICE UNDER SUBTITLE 3 OF
THIS TITLE; OR

(II)     EXCLUDED FROM THE UNCLASSIFIED SERVICE UNDER
SUBTITLE 5 OF THIS TITLE.

REVISOR'S NOTE: Paragraph (1) of this subsection is new language derived
without substantive change from former Art. 64A, § 1(20) for clarity.

Paragraph (2) of this subsection is new language added for emphasis. See
Revisor's Note to subsection (d) of this section.

See also Subtitle 4 of this title for a general description of positions that are in
the unclassified service.

Defined terms: "Classified service" § 1-101
"Position" § 1-101
"State Personnel Management System" § 1-101

GENERAL REVISOR'S NOTE:

Former Art. 64A, § 10(c), which defined outdated titles such as "State Employment
Commissioner" to refer to the Secretary of Personnel, is deleted as no longer necessary

given the corrections of those terms throughout the Code by Ch.______, Acts of 1993, the

companion cross-reference and corrective bill for this revision.

Former Art. 64A. § 1(11) and (13), which defined "[i]nvoluntary separation" and
"[p]ermanent status employee", respectively, are deleted because those terms were not
used in former Art. 64A and are not used in this revision.

Other definitions in former Art. 64A, § 1 are revised in other units of this Division
I. See, e.g., § 4-304, which incorporates the former definition of "[a]ppointment" in its
substantive provisions, and § 5-101, which revises the former definition of "[permanent
part-time" as the defined term "part-time".

SUBTITLE 2. STATE PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM.

1-201. STATE PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM ESTABLISHED.

THERE IS A STATE PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, WHICH IS UNDER THE
AUTHORITY OF THE SECRETARY OF PERSONNEL.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language added to expressly refer, under
one descriptive title, to all of the employees under the authority of the
Secretary of Personnel. The former law generally referred to all of former Art.
64A as the "Merit System"; however, that term was more correctly, although
not always universally, used to refer only to the classified service. See 63 Op.
Att'y Gen. 524, 530 n.3 (1978). Accordingly, a different term is used in this
revision.
