25-102. LEGISLATIVE POLICY.

EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN THIS TITLE, THE ADMINISTRATION,
MANAGEMENT, AND FUNDING OF THE BENEFITS FOR MEMBERS OF THE
CORRECTIONAL OFFICERS' RETIREMENT SYSTEM ARE THE SAME AS THOSE FOR
THE EMPLOYEES' RETIREMENT SYSTEM.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 73B, § 7-103.

The reference to "members of the Correctional Officers' Retirement System"
is substituted for the former reference to "correctional officers and security
attendants at Clifton T. Perkins Hospital Center" for accuracy.

The State Personnel and Pensions Article Review Committee notes, for the
consideration of the General Assembly, that former Art. 73B, § 7-103 has
been retained in this section though its usefulness is now questionable. When
this section was originally enacted, the law on the Correctional Officers'
Retirement System was cursory; however, the law on the Correctional
Officers' Retirement System has been expanded in recent years, thus making.
this section seem unnecessary. The General Assembly may wish to consider its
repeal.

Defined terms: "Correctional Officers' Retirement System" § 20-101
"Employees' Retirement System" § 20-101
"Member" § 20-101
