AI Summary

This bill allows members of retirement systems who previously elected not to continue contributions past age 70 to buy back those post-70 years of service, provided they have maintained continuous service since making that election and are still actively employed as of the effective date of the bill. The member must pay into the annuity savings fund an amount equal to the percentage of their regular annual compensation when they first entered the retirement system for each year of creditable service sought. The state retirement board is also required to assess whether they need to obtain a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service to ensure this change does not impact the compliance of the optional retirement plan or state employees' retirement system with the Internal Revenue Code.
