A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT to authorize reciprocity for service in the optional retirement program for members of the teachers and state employees retirement system.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
SECTION 1. G.S. 135-4.1(a) reads as rewritten:
"(a) Only for the purpose
of determining eligibility for benefits accruing under this Article, creditable
service standing to the credit of a member of the Legislative Retirement
System, Consolidated Judicial Retirement System, or the Local Governmental
Employees' Retirement System or service standing to the credit of a member
of the Optional Retirement Program shall be added to the creditable service
standing to the credit of a member of this System; provided, that in the event
a person is a retired member of any of the foregoing retirement systems,
systems or the Optional Retirement Program, such creditable service
standing or service standing to the credit of the retired member prior
to retirement shall be likewise counted. In no instance shall service credits
maintained in the aforementioned retirement systems or the Optional
Retirement Program be added to the creditable service in this System for
application of this System's benefit accrual rate in computing a service
retirement benefit unless specifically authorized by this Article."
SECTION 2. This act is effective when it becomes law.
