Privatization of governmental function--Member’s acquisition of service credit--Retirement while continuing private employment

Acquisition of years of service toward vesting or early retirement granted, pursuant to § 3-12C-310 , ceases upon the member's termination of employment with the private employer, even if the member later returns to employment with the employer. A member in continuing employment with the private employer need not terminate the private employment to receive a retirement benefit from the system. The member may not acquire additional years of service after the member begins receiving the benefit. Source: SL 2025, ch 27 , § 27.
