Bill > SB337

This bill clarifies membership in the Correctional Officers' Retirement System (CORS) for certain employees of Maryland Department of Health facilities, specifically those working in designated positions at facilities like Eastern Shore Hospital Center and Spring Grove Hospital Center, starting on or after July 1, 2026. It also clarifies that for certain participating employees, becoming a member of the CORS is a condition of employment when they are appointed, promoted, or transferred into eligible roles. The bill also addresses how unused sick leave is calculated for creditable service for members who have transferred between the Employees' Pension System (EPS) or Employees' Retirement System (ERS) and the CORS, and outlines procedures for transferring service credit for certain employees who will be affected by these changes starting July 1, 2026, with provisions for opting out of the transfer and for calculating disability benefits.
