ROBERT L. EHRLICH, JR., Governor                                Ch. 5

(c) Every police employee retired on pension under the provisions of [this
article] FORMER ARTICLE 88B OF THE CODE shall be paid a pension determined by
using his or her annual remuneration, and all contributions made by such police
employee to the pension fund of the Department OF STATE POLICE shall be made
from the annual remuneration. "Annual remuneration," as used in this [article]
SUBTITLE, shall mean salary plus the longevity pay herein provided for.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section formerly was Art. 88B, § 31.

Former Art. 88B, § 31 related to retirement by employees of the
Department of State Police who elected not to become members of the
State Police Retirement System. This provision is not retained in the Code
because of its limited and diminishing applicability. 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.
