Annotated Code of Maryland
(1998 Replacement Volume and 2001 Supplement)
SECTION 1. BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF
MARYLAND, That the Laws of Maryland read as follows:
Article 88B - Department of State Police
19.
(a) All promotions shall be made by the Secretary.
(b) Except as provided in subsection (c) of this section, no police employee
shall be appointed or promoted to any rank except one which requires technical
knowledge, unless the employee is bypassing an obsolete rank and currently fills the
rank immediately below the rank that has been declared obsolete, or has filled the
rank immediately below that to which the employee is promoted; but as to any
noncommissioned rank which contains less than twenty-five police employees, the
Secretary may by rule direct that it is unnecessary to fill such rank for purposes of
promotion. Promotion to any [noncommissioned] rank, EXCEPT DEPUTY SECRETARY,
shall be made in the manner prescribed by rule. [Promotion to any commissioned
rank, except deputy secretary, shall be made from among those persons appearing in
any position on a list of eligible persons prepared in accordance with the provisions of
the State Personnel and Pensions Article.]
(c) Notwithstanding any other provisions of law the Secretary may appoint,
without examination, any police employee holding a commissioned rank to the rank of
Major and any police employee holding a commissioned rank of not less than Captain
to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. A police employee appointed in accordance with
this provision shall continue to serve at the Secretary's pleasure. Upon termination of
an appointment by the Secretary under this subsection, the police employee may
return to the rank held prior to the appointment or to a higher rank to which the
police employee has become eligible for promotion during the police employee's
appointment, notwithstanding any other provision of law.
(d) Incumbent employees within an obsolete rank will remain until promoted,
demoted, retired, or terminated.
(e) Promotions of civilian employees shall be made in accordance with the
provisions of the State Personnel and Pensions Article.
SECTION 2. AND BE IT FURTHER ENACTED, That this Act shall take effect
October 1, 2002.
Approved April 25, 2002.
