    59-1362.  PURCHASE OF ACTIVE DUTY SERVICE IN THE ARMED FORCES. (1)
Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, an active or inactive
member who is vested may purchase membership service for active duty service
in the armed forces of the United States that does not qualify for "military
service" as defined in section 59-1302(23), Idaho Code. Provided, the combined
amount of membership service acquired under section 59-1302(23), Idaho Code,
and purchased under this section shall not exceed forty-eight (48) months.
    (2)  Purchases under this section are limited to active or inactive
members who provide, as required by the board, evidence of such active duty
service and who do not have a vested right to retirement benefits in any other
retirement system based in whole or in part upon the same active duty service.
    (3)  The cost of purchases under this section shall be the full actuarial
costs of the service as determined by the board. The board may provide for
payment options, including periodic payments, but no service shall be credited
until payment has been made in full. The member shall be solely responsible
for the costs of such purchased service, except that an employer may
participate in the costs at its option.
    (4)  For purposes of this section, "active duty service in the armed
forces of the United States" means active duty, other than primarily for
training purposes, in the army, navy, air force, marine corps or coast guard,
concluding with other than a dishonorable discharge.
