TITLE 47 RETIREMENT AND PENSIONS

Section 23. Georgia Judicial Retirement System, 47-23-1 through 47-23-124.

ARTICLE 3 MEMBERSHIP IN THE SYSTEM

47-23-48. Election of retirement system; effect of subsequent legislation.

    1. Any member of this retirement system who is vested for a normal retirement benefit who without a break in service becomes the head of a state department or agency or who is appointed by the Governor to a full-time salaried position on a state board or commission may make a one time irrevocable election to remain a member of this retirement system, in which event the employer and employee shall make all contributions to this retirement system and perform such other acts as are required by law or regulation.
    2. This subsection shall be applicable to each person who was a member of this retirement system on July 1, 2000, and to any person who becomes a member after that date. Any person eligible to make the election provided for in this subsection shall do so in writing to the board of trustees of this retirement system and the Board of Trustees of the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia not later than September 30, 2000, or within 60 days after the date he or she became employed in a position which would otherwise obligate him or her to become a member of this retirement system, whichever date is later. Once made, the election is irrevocable.
    3. Any person subject to this subsection who elects to become a member of this retirement system may have accumulated contributions under the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia transferred to this retirement system. The board of trustees of the Employees' Retirement System of Georgia shall pay to the board of trustees of this retirement system all employer and employee contributions made by or on behalf of the member, together with regular interest. The member shall be granted only so much creditable service as such amount will warrant without creating any accrued actuarial unfunded liability as to this retirement system; provided, however, that such service credits shall not be used in determining the qualifications of a member for benefits other than vested rights or disability, death, or normal service retirement allowances.
  2. The provisions of this Code section shall not become a part of the employment contract and shall be subject to subsequent legislation; provided, however, that no person who has made the election provided by this Code section shall be affected by any subsequent legislation.
