Ch. 6                                       1994 LAWS OF MARYLAND

(5)     In no instance shall any retired member receive less than the benefits to
which the member would be entitled under subsections (a) through (1) of this section.

(6)     The allowance of a surviving beneficiary of a retired member shall, when
and if payable, be adjusted by the same ratio as provided in this section.

(7)     This section shall not apply to benefits payable under subsections (f) and
(g) of this section.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section formerly was Art. 73B, § 9-201.

Former § 9-201 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.
