COSTS OF A PENSION OR RETIREMENT SYSTEM ESTABLISHED UNDER §§ 7-206 AND
7-603 OF THE TRANSPORTATION ARTICLE, INCLUDING THE PRO RATA SHARE OF THE
ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS THAT THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES INCURS.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 73B, § 1-103(j) and (k).

In the introductory language of subsection (a) of this section, the former
reference to adopting regulations "from time to time" is deleted as misleading
as it implied that the Board of Trustees must adopt regulations at set intervals.

In subsection (a)(2) of this section, the word "assets" is substituted for the
former reference to "funds". See Revisor's Note to § 20-101 of this article.

Defined terms: "Board of Trustees" § 20-101
