REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 73B, § 9-105(g).

The word "prior", which modifies "termination of service", is added for
clarity.                                                                                                         

The reference to "member" is substituted for the former reference to "former
judge, ... who thereafter again becomes a judge" for clarity and brevity.

The State Personnel and Pensions Article Review Committee notes, for
consideration by the General Assembly, that there is an ambiguity in this
section as to whether it applies to masters or workers' compensation
commissioners who are neither elected nor confirmed.
