§191.  Dual employment

A.  Any person who is employed in more than one public employment within this state, and who, by reason of such employment is eligible, as a condition of such employment, to be a member of the public retirement system or fund applicable to employees in each of such public employments, shall be a contributing member of each such retirement system or fund during the term of his employment.  In no event shall such person be allowed to earn more than one year of service credit in any one year.  Service credit earned in more than one retirement system or fund in any one year shall not be transferred or recognized reciprocally to attain more than one year of service credit in any one system in any one year.

B.  Any person who is a member of any public retirement system or fund on September 6, 1991, who has been employed in any public employment within the state and who has not been allowed to become a member of and to make contributions to the retirement system or fund applicable to employees in such public employment shall be allowed to purchase the service credit to which he would have been entitled in the system had he been an active contributing member of the retirement system or fund during the full term of his employment, by paying to the retirement system or fund an amount that totally offsets the actuarial cost of the receipt of the service credit.  The employer for that employment may pay one-half of the actuarial cost of the receipt of the service credit; however, if the employer pays one-half of the actuarial cost for one employee, the employer shall pay one-half of the actuarial cost for all employees purchasing service credit under this Section provided the respective retirement system has a policy, in effect prior to August 15, 1995, for purchase of such service credit.  If a retirement system does not have a policy for purchase of service credit as provided in this Subsection, then the employee shall pay the entire actuarial cost of the receipt of service credit provided in this Section.
