WILLIAM DONALD SCHAEFER, Governor

Ch. 10

In subsection (b)(2) of this section, the phrase "and otherwise complies" is
added to clarify that all requirements of Title 9, Subtitle 2 must be met before
termination may occur.

In subsection (c) of this section, the reference to "the day on which the
individual was appointed" is added to clarify when the 3 years begins to run.

The State Personnel Article Review Committee notes, for consideration by
the General Assembly, that the grounds for revoking certification of an
employee under former Art. 64A, § 22(a)(5)(ii), revised in subsection (b)(1) of
this section, differ from the grounds for refusing to examine an applicant
under former Art. 64A, § 22(a)(4), revised in § 4-204 of this title; the grounds
for removing a name from a list of eligible candidates under former Art. 64A,
§ 22(a)(2), revised in § 4-210 of this title; and the grounds for refusing to
certify an applicant under former Art. 64A, § 22(a)(4), revised in § 4-303 of
this title. The General Assembly may wish to review and conform these
differing provisions.

GENERAL REVISOR'S NOTE:

Former Art. 64A, § 18(h), which provided for applications for classification and
appointment of certain employees as highway maintenance workers, is repealed as
obsolete and, in any event, unnecessary in light of TR § 2-102(d). Art. 64A, § 18(h) was
enacted by Ch. 169, Acts of 1961, to add "the classification of 'highway maintenance man'
in the employment of State Roads Commission to the classified service" and to provide
for employees in existence on June 1, 1961. Chapter 169 further provided that "[a]ll
vacancies in the classification of highway maintenance men shall be filled ... in accordance
with ... Section 18 of Article 64A of this Code."

SUBTITLE 4. PROBATION.

4-401. PROBATION AFTER FIRST APPOINTMENT.

AN EMPLOYEE SHALL BE PLACED ON PROBATION WHEN THE EMPLOYEE IS
FIRST APPOINTED TO THE CLASSIFIED SERVICE.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 64A, § 1(10) and, as it related to probation following
an initial appointment, the first sentence of § 1(15).

Defined terms: "Classified service" § 1-101
"Probation" § 1-101
