Ch. 10

1993 LAWS OF. MARYLAND

[9T.] 15.

(a)     A contractual employee of the Division of Tourism and Promotion of the
Department of Economic and Employment Development who had 6 months continuous
full time satisfactory service as of July 1, 1982 shall be included in the State [Merit
System] CLASSIFIED SERVICE without further examination or qualification.,

(b)     An employee included in the [State Merit System] CLASSIFIED SERVICE
under this section shall be given credit for the years of service rendered as a contractual
employee of the Office of Tourist Development for the purpose of establishing
compensation rates, including increments.

(c)     An employee who has been included in the [State Merit System] CLASSIFIED
SERVICE under this section may not receive a diminution in compensation solely because
of the inclusion.                                                                               

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section formerly was Art. 64A, § 9T.

Former § 9T is not retained in the Code because it is apparently obsolete.
However, it is transferred to the Session Laws to avoid any inadvertent
substantive effect that its repeal might have on any employee.

The only changes are in style.

(a)     Contractual employees of the child support enforcement and food stamp

subsection (b) of this section, to the State classified service.

Resources.
