In subsection (a) of this section, the phrase "for which the member is not

receive duplicate service credit for the same period of employment.

In subsection (b)(1)(i) of this section, the reference to "complet[ing] a claim
for service credit and fil[ing] it with the Board of Trustees on a form that the
Board of Trustees provides" is added to state expressly that which formerly
only was implied — i.e., that a completed claim must be filed for the service
credit.

In subsection (b)(1)(ii) of this section, the reference to payment to "the Board
of Trustees" is added to clarify to whom the payment is to be made.

In subsection (c)(1)(xi) of this section, the references to employment by "a
standing committee or delegation of the Senate or House of Delegates", "the
office of the assistant to the President of the Senate and Speaker of the House
of Delegates", and "any division under the jurisdiction of the President of the
Senate and Speaker of the House of Delegates within those offices" are
deleted as included in the comprehensive reference to employment by "a
member of the Senate or House of Delegates".
