Editor's note—Former Section 33-48, relating to the disability retirement board, derived from Ord. No. 5- 152; Ord. No. 6-195, § 1; 1972 L.M.C., ch. 19, § 13; 1974 L.M.C., ch. 31, § 15; 1974 L.M.C., ch. 59, § 9; 1978 L.M.C., ch. 44, § 1; and 1982 L.M.C., ch. 40, § 5, was first repealed by 1985 L.M.C., ch. 49, § 2. Subsequently, 1986 L.M.C., ch. 27, § 1, added § 33-48, disability retirement board, for the reasons set forth in 1986 L.M.C., ch. 27, § 2: “Sec. 2. Ratification of acts.
In adopting chapter 49 of the Laws of Montgomery County (Bill 54-84), it was not the legislative intent that the disability retirement hearing board and any medical review committee cease to function immediately. It was the legislative intent that the board and committees continue to function until a final decision is made on all disability retirement applications filed before the date on which the disability benefits program under article VI of chapter 33 takes effect.
Any action taken by the disability hearing board and any medical review committee since August 11, 1985, are to be given the same force and effect as if this act had been in effect when the actions were taken.”
