Ch. 6                                            1994 LAWS OF MARYLAND

(2) (I) THIS PARAGRAPH APPLIES ONLY TO A MEMBER OF THE STATE
POLICE RETIREMENT SYSTEM.

(II) IF A MEMBER OF THE STATE POLICE RETIREMENT SYSTEM
WHO TRANSFERRED FROM ANOTHER ACTUARIAL RETIREMENT SYSTEM IN THE
STATE RETIRES AFTER LESS THAN 3 YEARS OF EMPLOYMENT AS A MEMBER OF THE
STATE POLICE RETIREMENT SYSTEM, THE EARNABLE COMPENSATION AS A MEMBER
IN THE OTHER SYSTEM SHALL BE USED IN THE DETERMINATION OF AVERAGE
FINAL COMPENSATION.

REVISOR'S NOTE: Subsection (a) of this section is new language added for
clarity.

Subsections (b) and (c) of this section are new language derived without
substantive change from former Art. 73B, §§ 2-101(b), 3-101(b), 6-101(b),
and 7-101(b).

The former definition of "average final compensation" is revised as a
.. substantive provision because it was substantive in nature and to conform to
the provision that applies to the pension systems. See § 20-205 of this title.

The references to "employment as a member" are substituted for the former
references to "service" to reflect that "service" is no longer a defined term.

In subsection (c)(1) of this section, the reference to the exception "for a salary
increase because of a member's promotion" is substituted for the former
reference to the exception "in the case of a promotion" for clarity.

Defined terms: "Average final compensation" § 20-101
"Board of Trustees" § 20-101

"Correctional Officers' Retirement System" § 20-101
"Earnable compensation" § 20-101
"Employees' Retirement System" § 20-101
"Member" § 20-101

"State Police Retirement System" § 20-101
"Teachers' Retirement System" § 20-101
