Ch. 10

1993 LAWS OF MARYLAND

[23.] 19.

Any person who, on June 1, 1951 is a temporary employee theretofore appointed
pursuant to the provisions of FORMER ARTICLE 64A,.§ 22(b) of [this article] THE CODE,
and who has been such for fourteen (14) months prior to said date, shall become, without
examination, a permanent member of the STATE classified service with the same
classification as that held by [him] THAT PERSON on June 1, 1951.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section formerly was Art. 64A, § 23.

Former § 23 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.

[24B.] 20.
