(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this article or other statute, the State
of Maryland shall make contributions to the retirement and pension system[, and
contributions for the employer's share for social security,] for the benefit of the
professional and clerical employees of the department of public libraries of Montgomery
County and the Washington County Free Library in the same manner and to the same
extent as such contributions are made for the professional and clerical employees for
other county public libraries of this State under the terms and provisions of § 1-305 of

be made to the retirement system in which such employees are members. The State of
Maryland shall continue to make such contributions for all professional and clerical
employees of the department of public libraries of Montgomery County after transfer to
the employees' retirement system of Montgomery County or such other qualified
retirement system as provided in subsection (a) of this section, as if such employees
continued under the retirement system. Provided, however, that Montgomery County
shall provide by ordinance, resolution, rule or regulation that upon transfer of an
employee the employers' and employees' contributions with credited interest shall be
transferred from the employees' retirement system of Montgomery County to such other
qualified retirement system.
