Ch. 6

1994 LAWS OF MARYLAND

(I) WAS APPOINTED BY THE CIRCUIT COURT OF A COUNTY ON OR
BEFORE JUNE 30, 1989; AND

(II) SERVES FULL TIME AS A MASTER.                  

(B) EXCEPTION.

A FORMER JUDGE WHO IS TEMPORARILY ASSIGNED TO SIT IN A COURT OF THE
STATE UNDER THE AUTHORITY OF ARTICLE IV, § 3A OF THE MARYLAND
CONSTITUTION IS NOT A MEMBER.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 73B, §§ 9-101(c) and (e) and 9-105(a) and, as they
related to the exclusion from participation in the Judges' Retirement System,
the first and third sentences of § 9-104(c)(2).

Subsection (a) of this section is set forth as a substantive provision instead of
definitions since the definitions of "[c]ourt" and "[j]udge" in former Art. 73B,
§ 9-101(c) and (e) served as substantive provisions.

In subsection (a) of this section, the references to "qualifi[cation] as a judge
after June 30, 1969" and to "elect[ion] to be. covered" by a "judge then in
office" in former Art. 73B, § 9-105(a) are deleted as obsolete because a judge
no longer has an option to participate in any plan other than the contributory
plan of the Judges' Retirement System.

Also in subsection (a) of this section, the reference to the "Judges' Retirement
System" is substituted for the former reference to "this plan" because all
members of the Judges' Retirement System now participate in the
contributory plan. For a discussion of the provisions of law relating to the
noncontributory plan, see' General Revisor's Note to this title..

In subsection (b) of this section, the reference to not being "a member" is
substituted for the former references to "[c]reditable service ... not accru[ing]
by reason of service" and "a deduction from compensation for this service ...
not be[ing] withheld for pension or retirement purposes" to state expressly
that which formerly only was implied - i.e., a former judge who is assigned to
sit temporarily under the authority of Article IV, § 3A of the Maryland
Constitution is not a member of the Judges' Retirement System.

Former Art. 73B, § 9-104(h) is deleted as obsolete because a judge no longer
has an option to participate in any plan other than the contributory plan of the
Judges' Retirement System.

Defined terms: "County" § 20-101                                           

"Judges' Retirement System" § 20-101
