REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 65, § 88(e), (f), and the first sentence of (g).

In subsection (a) of this section, the phrase "[n]otwithstanding any other
provision of ... the Code" is deleted as unnecessary.

In the introductory language of subsection (c) of this section, the reference to
"other governmental unit that makes contributions for members of State
systems" is substituted for "employing agency" to clarify who has the
responsibility for making the contributions for the military service credit under
this section.
