IF, WITHIN 90 DAYS AFTER THE EMPLOYEE RECEIVES NOTICE' FROM THIS
STATE UNDER SUBSECTION (A) OF THIS SECTION, THE EMPLOYEE FAILS TO
ENFORCE THE CLAIM AGAINST THE PERSON CAUSING THE INJURY OR FAILS TO
GIVE WRITTEN NOTICE TO THIS STATE OF AN INTENT TO DO SO, THIS STATE, IN ITS
OWN NAME AND FOR ITS OWN BENEFIT, MAY BRING AN ACTION OR JOIN IN AN
ACTION.

(C) OTHER CLAIMS NOT BARRED.

AN ACTION BROUGHT BY THIS STATE UNDER THIS SECTION IS NOT A BAR TO
ANY OTHER CLAIM RELATED TO THE INJURY.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without-substantive
change from former Art. 64A, § 37(g)(4).

In subsection (a) of this section, the phrase "injury for which ... leave is taken"
is substituted for the former, somewhat misleading reference to a
"compensable injury".

In subsection (b) of this section, the phrase "to this State" is added to clarify
to whom the employee's notice must be given. .

The State Personnel Article Review Committee notes, for consideration by
the General Assembly, that subsection (b) of this section is silent as to what
happens if an employee gives notice of an intent to enforce a claim, but takes
no further action to enforce the claim.
