Ch. 10                                       1993 LAWS' OF MARYLAND

SUBTITLE 2. REINSTATEMENTS OF VETERANS.
11-201. "RETURNING VETERAN" DEFINED.

IN THIS SUBTITLE, "RETURNING VETERAN":

(1)      MEANS AN INDIVIDUAL WHO LEFT STATE EMPLOYMENT TO
PERFORM MILITARY SERVICE IN THE ARMED FORCES OF THE UNITED STATES AND
WHO SEEKS REINSTATEMENT TO STATE EMPLOYMENT; AND

(2)      DOES NOT INCLUDE AN INDIVIDUAL WHO LEFT STATE
EMPLOYMENT WHILE SERVING AS A TEMPORARY EXTRA OR EMERGENCY
EMPLOYEE.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 64A, § 18B(a).

In item (1) of this section, the former reference to a "classified or unclassified
employee" is deleted as unduly limited in light of federal law. See Revisor's
Note to § 11-202 of this subtitle.

In item (2) of this section, the former reference to a temporary or emergency
employee "as defined in § 24" of former Art. 64A is deleted because that
definition only applies to temporary extra or emergency appointments in the
executive branch and does not cover those in the legislative and judicial
branches.

As to the use of the term "reinstatement", see § 1-101(k) of this article and its
accompanying Revisor's Note.

11-202. SCOPE OF SUBTITLE.

THIS SUBTITLE APPLIES TO ALL UNITS IN THE EXECUTIVE, JUDICIAL, AND
LEGISLATIVE BRANCHES OF STATE GOVERNMENT, INCLUDING ANY UNIT WITH AN
INDEPENDENT PERSONNEL SYSTEM.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language added for clarity and conformity
with the federal law. See 38 U.S.C. §§ 2021 and 2024.

11-203. ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA GENERALLY.

(A) INDUCTED VETERAN.

A RETURNING VETERAN WHO WAS INDUCTED INTO THE ARMED FORCES IS

MEET THE CRITERIA FOR ELIGIBILITY UNDER 38 U.S.C. § 2021(A);
