benefits as provided by this subsection. The County Council of Prince George's County is
hereby expressly authorized to levy for and pay pensions and salaries to former judges of
the People's Court who served on the court upon the terms and for the periods as herein
provided; and any provision heretofore made is hereby ratified and confirmed.

(b) The surviving spouse of every judge who dies in active service shall be paid one
half of the pension to which such judge would have been entitled on the date of the
judge's death if the judge had been eligible for retirement and had retired on said date
irrespective of whether the judge shall have attained the age of sixty-five at the date of
the judge's death. The surviving spouse of every judge who dies after retiring shall be paid
one half of the pension which the judge was receiving at the date of the judge's death. In
order to be entitled to the pension provided by this subsection, a surviving spouse of a
judge who dies during active service shall have been married to the judge for a period of
not less than three years prior to the judge's death, and, in the case of a death of a retired
judge, not less than three years before retirement. A surviving spouse who is entitled to a
pension under the provisions of this subsection shall be paid for the period of the
surviving spouse's life unless the surviving spouse remarries, in which event the pension is
to cease and terminate. The provisions of this subsection shall apply to the surviving
spouses who have not remarried and who are otherwise qualified as provided herein, or
judges who died before January 1, 1962.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section formerly was Art. 73B, § 9-204.

Former § 9-204 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.

[9-205.] 5.

Every full-time trial magistrate for Calvert County holding office prior to January 1,
1971, shall be paid after the termination of active service as a full-time trial magistrate, a
pension or salary to be calculated at the rate of five hundred dollars ($500) per annum for
each year, or part of a year thereof, of active service as such full-time trial magistrate for
Calvert County up to and including twelve years of service, including service after January
1, 1971, so that the maximum pension or salary for service payable hereunder to any one
person shall not exceed the sum of six thousand dollars ($6,000) per annum. This
subsection shall not apply to substitute trial magistrates. A former trial magistrate who
accepts a salaried public office or position, municipal, county, State or federal, shall not
be paid any pension or salary so long as the former trial magistrate remains in such office
or position. In the event that a retired trial magistrate holding a salaried public office or
position should thereafter relinquish such office or position, and notify the County
Commissioners of Calvert County of such fact, then from and after the date of such
notification the trial magistrate shall be entitled to all the benefits as provided by this
section. The County Commissioners of Calvert County are hereby expressly authorized to
levy for and pay pensions and salaries to trial magistrates as herein provided.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section formerly was Art. 73B, § 9-205.
