Ch. 10

(B)     UPON TERMINATION BEFORE JULY 1, 1990, OR UPON TERMINATION BY
RETIREMENT ON OR AFTER JULY 1, 1990, EACH CLASSIFIED SERVICE EMPLOYEE IS
ENTITLED TO HAVE ACCUMULATED SICK LEAVE DAYS ADDED TO THE EMPLOYEE'S
CREDITABLE SERVICE FOR THE PURPOSES OF DETERMINING RETIREMENT
BENEFITS UNDER THIS ARTICLE.

(C)     A STATE EMPLOYEE WHO CAME INTO THE STATE SYSTEM WHILE
RETAINING SICK LEAVE AND ANNUAL LEAVE BENEFITS UNDER A COUNTY SYSTEM
AND WHO CAME UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF CHAPTER 423, ACTS OF 1971, SHALL BE
ENTITLED TO THE SAME FULL CREDIT TOWARD RETIREMENT AS PROVIDED BY THIS
SECTION.

REVISOR'S NOTE: Chapter______, Acts of 1993, which enacted Division I of the

State Personnel Article, also added this section, which formerly was Art. 64A,
§ 37(a)(6). The provisions of former Art. 64A, § 37(a)(6)(i), as they relate to
the loss of accumulated sick leave for all other purposes, are revised in SP §
7-506(b).

In subsection (a) of this section, the phrase "[f]or purposes of determining
retirement benefits under this article" is added for clarity and consistency.

The State Personnel Article Review Committee notes, for consideration by
the General Assembly, that this section refers only to classified service
employees. The Committee is uncertain as to whether or to what extent this
section should be revised to apply to unclassified service employees who,
under SP § 7-506, are also generally entitled to accumulate unused sick leave.

Article 78 - Public Service Commission Law

REVISOR'S NOTE: Chapter______, Acts of 1993, which enacted Division I of the

State Personnel Article, also amended subsection (b) of this section to add
item (7) and the reference to "assistant general counsels" in item (3), which
are derived without substantive change from former Art. 64A, §§ 3(6) and
4(8), and to make stylistic changes.
