WILLIAM DONALD SCHAEFER, Governor

Ch. 6

In subsection (b) of this section, the reference to a person who becomes "a
teacher on or after that date" is deleted as surplusage.

Former Art. 73B, § 3-206 of the Code, which is referred to in subsection (b) of
this section, has been transferred to the Session Laws. See the General
Revisor's Note to this title.

Defined terms: "Member" § 20-101

"Teachers' Retirement System" § 20-101

22-207. SAME — DISCRETIONARY.

THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES MAY DENY MEMBERSHIP IN THE TEACHERS'
RETIREMENT SYSTEM TO, OR MAKE MEMBERSHIP OPTIONAL FOR, ANY CLASS OF
INDIVIDUALS DESCRIBED IN § 22-205(A) OF THIS SUBTITLE WHOSE:

(1)      COMPENSATION IS PAID ONLY PARTLY BY THE STATE; OR

(2)      EMPLOYMENT IS TEMPORARY OR ON OTHER THAN A YEARLY BASIS.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 73B, § 3-201(b).

The reference to "individuals described in § 22-205(a) of this subtitle" is
substituted for the former reference to "teachers" because "teacher" is no
longer a defined term.

Defined terms: "Board of Trustees" § 20-101
"Teachers' Retirement System" § 20-101

22-208. SAME — DETERMINATION BY BOARD OF TRUSTEES.

IF ELIGIBILITY OF AN INDIVIDUAL FOR MEMBERSHIP IN THE TEACHERS'
RETIREMENT SYSTEM IS UNCLEAR, THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES SHALL DETERMINE
WHETHER THE INDIVIDUAL IS A MEMBER.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 73B, § 3-101(j)(3).

The reference to a "member" of the Teachers' Retirement System is
substituted for the former reference to a "teacher" to reflect that "teacher" is
no longer a defined term.

The phrase "[i]f eligibility of an individual for membership in the Teachers'
Retirement System is unclear" is substituted for "[i]n all cases of doubt" for
clarity.

Defined terms: "Board of Trustees" § 20-101
"Member" § 20-101
"Teachers' Retirement System" § 20-101

22-209. CONTINUATION OF MEMBERSHIP — IN GENERAL.

(A) RIGHT TO CONTINUE MEMBERSHIP.
