change from former Art. 88B, §§ 22(a) and 23(b) and the first and second
sentences of (a).

Throughout this section, references to a "pay rate" and a "pay plan" are
substituted for former references to a "salary" and a "salary plan" for
consistency with terminology used in the State Personnel and Pensions
Article. See Title 8, Subtitle 4 of the State Personnel and Pensions Article.

In subsection (b) of this section, the former phrase "[f]rom and after July 1,
1974" is deleted as obsolete.

Defined terms: "Grade" § 2-101
