2006 Louisiana Laws - RS 11:733 — Transfers of out-of-state service

§733.  Transfers of out-of-state service

A.  Any member of this system who has service credit in a public retirement system of another state which was granted based on teaching service in that state in its public school system shall be allowed to transfer such regular service credit to this system in accordance with this Section.

B.  The out-of-state public retirement system must agree and pay to this system all employee and employer contributions and other funds in its possession which are held for the member's account to this system.  

C.  In the event that the amount of funds transferred is less than the increase in the actuarial present value of benefits, computed using the actuarial assumptions used in the most recent actuarial valuation of this system, created by the transfer of the additional service credit, the member transferring the service credit, except as provided for herein, shall pay the difference.  

D.  In lieu of paying the difference the member may, at his option, but only at the time of the transfer of the funds, be granted an amount of service credit in this system which is based on the amount of funds actually received by this system for the transfer.  

E.  In order for such a transfer to be effective the system from which the funds are transferred must certify under oath that the member will no longer have any regular service credit remaining in that system.
