Ch. 5

2003 LAWS OF MARYLAND

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section formerly was Art. 88B, § 36.

Former Art. 88B, § 36 related to reports by the Secretary of State Police on
the condition of the pension 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.
[36A.] 8.

At his discretion, the Legislative Auditor may conduct an annual audit of a fiscal
and compliance nature of the accounts and transactions of the State Police
Retirement System in place of conducting these audits on a biennial basis. Officials of
the State Police Retirement System shall be advised whether annual or biennial
audits will be conducted.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section formerly was Art. 88B, § 36A.

Former Art. 88B, § 36A related to audits by the Legislative Auditor of the
accounts and transactions of the State Police Retirement System. This
provision is duplicative of SP § 21-127. However, it is transferred to the
Session Laws to avoid any inadvertent substantive effect that its repeal
might have.

No changes are made.

of Budget and Management, the State Comptroller, the State Treasurer, the Secretary
of the State Police and two members of the Department of State Police to be appointed

Management is authorized to delegate to the Executive Director of the State
Retirement Agency such of these administrative functions as the Secretary deems
appropriate.

established by this subtitle, are hereby transferred and vested in the said board of
trustees.
