Preamble

WHEREAS, Under Chapter 703, Acts of the General Assembly of 1994, provisions
of law were repealed that required a retiree of the Employees' Retirement System or of
several other State retirement and pension systems who was reemployed in a permanent
position with a participating employer to be restored to membership in the system that
was appropriate for the position; and

WHEREAS, Before the enactment of Chapter 703, a retiree of the Employees'
Retirement System had two years after retirement to be restored to active membership in
the System if employed by a participating employer and, thus, accrue additional service
credit in the System; and

WHEREAS, Those who retired before October 1, 1994, may have relied on the
provisions of law as they existed at the time of retirement in deciding to retire; now,
therefore,

SECTION 1. BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF
MARYLAND, That the Laws of Maryland read as follows:
