Ch. 6                                       1994 LAWS OF MARYLAND

FOR CREDITABLE SERVICE RECEIVED ON AND AFTER THE EFFECTIVE DATE
FOR APPLICATION OF THIS SECTION, THE RATE OF MEMBER CONTRIBUTIONS IS
THAT PROVIDED BY § 23-212 OF THIS ARTICLE.

(G) ADDITIONAL OPTIONS.

A MEMBER WHO IS SUBJECT TO THIS SECTION MAY TRANSFER TO THE
EMPLOYEES' PENSION SYSTEM OR THE TEACHERS' PENSION SYSTEM, AS PROVIDED
IN § 22-212 OF THIS SUBTITLE.

REVISOR'S NOTE: Subsection (a)(1) of this section is new language added to
state expressly that which formerly only was implied in the law — i.e., a
member is subject to the provisions of Selection C if the member is not subject
to Selection A or Selection B.

Subsection (a)(2) of this section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 73B, §§ 2-416(b) and 3-413(b), and, as they related
to the effective date for electing Selection C, §§ 2-414(g)(2), 2-415(g)(1),
3-411(g)(2), and 3-412(g)(l).

Subsections (b) through (g) of this section are new language derived without
substantive change from former Art. 73B, §§ 2-416(c) through (e), (g), and (h)
and 3-413(c) through (e), (h), and (i), as they related to the effective date of
Selection C (Combination formula) §§ 2-414(g)(2), 2-415(g)(l), 3-411(g)(2),
and 3-412(g)(1), and, as they related to the option to transfer to a pension
system, §§ 2-416(f) and 3-413(g).

Throughout this section, references to "the effective date" of this section are
substituted for "July 1, 1984" because that date cannot apply to those who
become subject to this section at a later date either after a return to
employment or after a later election of Selection C under § 22-219(c)(1)(ii) or
§ 22-220(c)(1)(i) of this subtitle.

In subsection (c)(4) of this section, the reference to an "initial" allowance is
deleted as unnecessary since each allowance referred to in this subsection
would be the initial allowance.

In subsection (c)(5) of this section, the former references to "creditable
service" before and after the effective date are deleted as surplusage since the
accidental disability retirement would be computed using the same formula
regardless of when the creditable service was attained.

Former Art. 73B, §§ 2-416(i) and 3-413(j), which stated that other laws also
are applicable, are deleted as surplusage.

Former Art. 73B, § 3-413(f), which related to participation in the optional
retirement program, is deleted as unnecessary in light of the more specific
provisions in Title 30 that specify who may participate in the optional
retirement program. See, e.g., § 30-301 of this article.
