WILLIAM DONALD SCHAEFER, Governor                            Ch. 6

(ii) The retirement allowance of the surviving spouse of the former
judge is less than $10,000.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section formerly was Art. 73B, § 9-106.

Former § 9-106 is not retained in the Code because, as it related to the
noncontributory plan of the Judges' Retirement System, it is apparently
obsolete because there are no active members of the noncontributory plan.
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.

SECTION 10. AND BE IT FURTHER ENACTED, That Section(s) 9-201 through
9-205, inclusive, of Article 73B - Pensions of the Annotated Code of Maryland be
repealed and reenacted, with amendments, and transferred to the Session Laws, to read
as follows:

of the District Court pursuant to Article IV, § 41-I(a) of the Constitution, may elect Plan
