ROBERT L. EHRLICH, JR., Governor

Ch. 5

(c) Whenever the term Secretary OF STATE POLICE is used in this subtitle
with respect to the administration of the said retirement and pension system or with
respect to contributions thereto, such term shall be taken to mean the said board of
trustees.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section formerly was Art. 88B, § 37.

Former Art. 88B, § 37 related to the establishment of a board of trustees of
the retirement and pension system of the State Police. 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.

SECTION 13. AND BE IT FURTHER ENACTED, That the following article
designations of the Annotated Code of Maryland be repealed:

The article designation "Article 16A - Maryland Emergency Management
Agency"

The article designation "Article 38A - Fires and Investigations"

The article designation "Article 88B - Department of State Police"

The article designation "Article 89 - Miscellaneous Business, Work, and Safety
Provisions"

SECTION 14. AND BE IT FURTHER ENACTED, That it is the intention of the
General Assembly that, except as expressly provided in this Act, this Act shall be
construed as a nonsubstantive revision, and may not otherwise be construed to render
any substantive change in the law of the State.

SECTION 15. AND BE IT FURTHER ENACTED, That the catchlines, captions,
Revisor's Notes, Special Revisor's Notes, and General Revisor's Notes contained in
this Act are not law and may not be considered to have been enacted as a part of this
Act.

SECTION 16. AND BE IT FURTHER ENACTED, That nothing in this Act
affects the term of office of an appointed or elected member of any commission, office,
department, agency, or other unit. An individual who is a member of a unit on the
effective date of this Act shall remain a member for the balance of the term to which
appointed or elected, unless the member sooner dies, resigns, or is removed under
provisions of law.

SECTION 17. AND BE IT FURTHER ENACTED, That, except as expressly
provided to the contrary in this Act, any transaction or employment status affected by
or flowing from any change of nomenclature or any statute amended, repealed, or
transferred by this Act and validly entered into or existing before the effective date of
this Act and every right, duty, or interest flowing from a statute amended, repealed,
or transferred by this Act remains valid after the effective date of this Act and may be
terminated, completed, consummated, or enforced as required or allowed by any
