Ch. 6

In subsection (b) of this section, the references to a "former member" are
substituted for the former references to a "member" for accuracy because
membership terminates on separation from employment.

In the introductory language to subsection (b) of this section, the former
reference to a member "who incurs a break in service" is deleted as
unnecessary and inconsistent with subsection (b)(1) of this section.

In subsection (c) of this section, the reference to the "Board of Trustees" is
added to clarify who makes the determination of eligibility for prior eligibility
service.

Defined terms: "Board of Trustees" § 20-101

"Former member" § 20-101
"Member" § 20-101
"Vested allowance" § 20-101
