22-308. CREDITABLE SERVICE — IN GENERAL.

(A)     TYPES OF SERVICE CREDIT.

CREDITABLE SERVICE ON WHICH THE ALLOWANCE OF A MEMBER IS BASED
CONSISTS OF:

(1)      ELIGIBILITY SERVICE, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN SUBSECTION (B) OF
THIS SECTION; AND

(2)      CREDIT FOR UNUSED SICK LEAVE AS PROVIDED IN § 20-206 OF THIS
ARTICLE.

(B)      PART-TIME SERVICE.

(1)      EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH (2) OF THIS SUBSECTION, A
MEMBER'S CREDITABLE SERVICE FOR A PERIOD OF REGULAR PART-TIME
EMPLOYMENT EQUALS THE MEMBER'S ACTUAL EMPLOYMENT DURING THAT
PERIOD.

(2)      SUBJECT TO PARAGRAPH (3) OF THIS SUBSECTION, A MEMBER'S
CREDITABLE SERVICE FOR A PERIOD OF REGULAR PART-TIME EMPLOYMENT
EQUALS THE MEMBER'S ELIGIBILITY SERVICE FOR THAT PERIOD IF:

(I)       THE MEDICAL BOARD DETERMINES THAT TOE MEMBER'S
PART-TIME EMPLOYMENT IS A RESULT OF A MEDICALLY DETERMINED DISABILITY
THAT PREVENTS FULL-TIME WORK; AND

(II)     THE MEMBER THEN ELECTS TO MAKE THE CONTRIBUTIONS
FOR FULL-TIME EMPLOYMENT REQUIRED BY § 22-214 OF THIS TITLE.

(3) EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT A DISABILITY WAS AGGRAVATED
AFTER A MEMBER'S ENROLLMENT, PARAGRAPH (2) OF THIS SUBSECTION DOES NOT
APPLY TO A DISABILITY INCURRED BEFORE A MEMBER'S ENROLLMENT.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 73B, § 2-301(a) and (b)(4)(ii) and the second
sentence of (i) and § 3-301(a) and (b)(4)(ii), and the second sentence of (i).

In subsection (a) of this section, the term "eligibility service" is substituted for
membership service and the types of credit listed in former Art. 73B, §§
2-301(a)(l) and (2)(i), (iii), (iv), and (v) and 3-301(a)(1) and (2)(i), (iii), (iv),
and (v) because those types of service credit equal eligibility service under §
22-303 of this subtitle, except as provided in subsection (b) of this section.
