time to time in effect. The commission may extend to any employee or employees
membership in the Virginia Supplemental Retirement System or the Maryland
Employees' Retirement System, whichever is applicable, subject to the laws relating to
each such retirement system. Employees of the commission shall also be eligible for the

Article.

Occurred: Ch. 10, Acts of 1993.
