Ch. 6

regulation that upon transfer of an employee the employers' and employees'
contributions with credited interest shall be transferred from the employees' retirement
system of Montgomery County to such other qualified retirement system.

(d) Professional and clerical employees of any library operating under the
provisions of this subtitle who are employed pursuant to a federal Comprehensive
Employment and Training Act (CETA) public service employment program are not
covered under the Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Maryland.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section formerly was Art. 73B, § 3-504.

Former § 3-504 is not retained in the Code because it is apparently obsolete.
However, it is transferred to the Session Laws to avoid any inadvertent
substantive effect that its repeal might have.

The only changes are in style.
