1994 LAWS OF MARYLAND

Former Art. 73B, §§ 2-101(i), 3-101(i), and 6-101(j), which defined the term
"service", are deleted as unnecessary. Throughout this Division II, a reference to
"employment" is used instead of the former defined term "service".

Former Art. 73B, §§ 4-101(g), 5-101(e), 8-101(f), and 10-201(i), which defined the
term "pension system" in former Art. 73B, §§ 2-101(h), 3.-101(h), 6-101(i), and 7-101(f),
which defined the term "retirement system", and former Art. 73B, § 9-101(h), which
defined the term "system", are deleted as unnecessary in light of the definitions in this
section that provide for a shortened reference to the title of each State system.

Former Art. 73B, § 6-101(d), which defined the term "Department", is deleted as
unnecessary.
