PURPOSE: This rule establishes procedures for crediting creditable prior service for members of the general assembly.
- (1) Except as otherwise provided by law, creditable prior service shall be credited for members of the general assembly by adding all of the creditable prior service that a member has immediately prior to retirement to arrive at total years and months of creditable service and dividing that by a two (2)-year period. Each whole two (2)-year period shall be credited as a biennial assembly and any remaining period of less than two (2) years shall be credited as a biennial assembly.
- (2) This rule shall not apply to any creditable prior service of a member that has been previously credited in the member’s record by staff prior to the effective date of this rule.
