§1311.  Reemployment of retiree

A.  Whenever a retiree returns to employment as a sworn, commissioned law enforcement officer of the office of state police in any office, section, agency, commission, or branch of the Department of Public Safety and Corrections as defined in Title 36 of the Louisiana Revised Statutes of 1950, whether by executive order or by any other authorized action or authority, such person shall not be entitled to renew his membership in or become a member of the system.  If his earnings in such employment are more than fifty percent of his average final compensation, payment of his retirement benefit shall be suspended for every month of such employment.  Upon the subsequent separation of such employment or upon death prior thereto, the retirement allowance to which he shall then be entitled and the benefits to which any of his dependents shall then be entitled shall be the same as those to which he and/or his dependents or beneficiaries were entitled prior to and at the time of such employment.

B.  Notwithstanding the provisions of R.S. 11:149(A), whenever a retiree returns to employment with the Department of Public Safety and Corrections in any capacity other than as a sworn, commissioned law enforcement officer of the state police, his employment shall, if otherwise applicable, be governed, with respect to retirement, by the laws governing the Louisiana State Employees' Retirement System.
