Ch. 533

1995 LAWS OF MARYLAND

(E)     COMPENSATION.

(1)     "COMPENSATION" MEANS MONEY OR ANY OTHER VALUABLE
THING, REGARDLESS OF FORM, RECEIVED OR TO BE RECEIVED BY A PERSON FROM
AN EMPLOYER FOR SERVICES RENDERED.

(2)      FOR PURPOSES OF SUBTITLE 7 OF THIS TITLE, IF LOBBYING IS ONLY
A PORTION OF A PERSON'S EMPLOYMENT, "COMPENSATION" MEANS A PRORATED
AMOUNT THAT IS BASED ON THE TIME DEVOTED BY THE PERSON TO LOBBYING
COMPARED TO THE TIME DEVOTED TO OTHER EMPLOYMENT DUTIES.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is the first two sentences of former Art. 40A,
§ 1-201(h).

In paragraph (1) of this subsection, "person" is substituted for the former
reference to "individual" to reflect the application of this provision to
"nonnatural persons".

Defined terms: "Employer" § 15-102
"Person" § 1-101

(F)     EMPLOYEE.

(1)     "EMPLOYEE" MEANS AN INDIVIDUAL WHO IS EMPLOYED:

(I)      BY AN EXECUTIVE UNIT;

(II)     BY THE LEGISLATIVE BRANCH; OR

(III)   IN THE JUDICIAL BRANCH.

(2)      "EMPLOYEE" DOES NOT INCLUDE:

(I)      A PUBLIC OFFICIAL; OR

(II)     A STATE OFFICIAL.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 40A, § 1-201(i).

Because "employee" and "State employee" are identically defined in the
source law, the single term "employee" is used for clarity.

Defined terms: "Executive unit" § 15-102
"Public official" § 15-102
"State official" § 15-102

(G)    EMPLOYER.

"EMPLOYER" MEANS AN ENTITY THAT PAYS OR AGREES TO PAY
COMPENSATION TO ANOTHER ENTITY FOR SERVICES RENDERED.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 40A, § 1-201(j).
