1. (a) It is the responsibility of a member of a state retirement system to comply with all requirements of an insurance, retirement, or benefit plan or program, including all application, designation, affidavit, and documentation requirements, in order to provide or allow provision of benefits to the retirement system member's same-sex partner. Except when specifically provided by this chapter or the terms of an insurance, retirement, or benefit plan or program, a retirement system member's compliance with the application, affidavit, and documentation requirements of a plan or program does not entitle the retirement system member's same-sex partner to rights or benefits under a different plan or program.
2. (b) Nothing in this chapter supersedes the requirements of a court order regarding rights or benefits of a former spouse or dependents of a retirement system member.
3. (c) Nothing in this chapter provides, or allows the provision of, any right or benefit to the same-sex partner of a retirement system member that would not be available to the spouse of the retirement system member.

(Repealed)
