Ch. 5

2003 LAWS OF MARYLAND

AN EMPLOYEE WHO IS TERMINATED FROM THE DEPARTMENT MAY NOT BE
REAPPOINTED.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from the second, third, and fourth sentences of former Art. 88B, §
17(b).

In subsection (a)(3) and (4) of this section, the reference to an "individual"
is substituted for the former reference to a "person" because only human
beings, and not the other entities included in the defined term "person",
are police employees.

In subsection (b) of this section, the reference to an employee being
"terminated" is substituted for the former reference to an employee being
"discharged" for consistency throughout this subtitle.

Defined terms: "Department" § 2-101
"Police employee" § 2-101
"Rule" § 2-101
"Secretary" § 2-101

GENERAL REVISOR'S NOTE TO SUBTITLE:

Former Art. 88B, §§ 31, 32, 34, 34A, 34B, 35, 36, 36A, and 37, which covered
pensions for employees of the Department of State Police who elected not to become
members of the State Police Retirement System, are transferred to the Session Laws
because of their limited and diminishing applicability. The State Police Retirement
System is covered under Title 24 of the State Personnel and Pensions Article. Today
police employees are members of the State Police Retirement System and civilian
employees are members of the Employees' Retirement System or the Employees'
Pension System.

SUBTITLE 5. STATEWIDE DNA DATA BASE SYSTEM.
2-501. DEFINITIONS.

(A)     IN GENERAL.

IN THIS SUBTITLE THE FOLLOWING WORDS HAVE THE MEANINGS INDICATED.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection formerly was Art. 88B, § 12A(a)(l).

In this subsection and throughout this subtitle, the reference to this
"subtitle" is substituted for the former reference to this "section" to reflect
the reorganization of former § 12A as a subtitle in this revision.

No other changes are made.

"CODIS" MEANS THE FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION'S "COMBINED DNA
