The amount of the withdrawal may not be greater than the minimum amount of any excess as continuously maintained over the immediately preceding twelve (12) calendar month period ending June 30. Withdrawals of excess reserve funds by the corporation under this section may be used for any purpose.

(c) If a year-end report is not filed within thirty (30) days after the original due date of the report, the corporation may make a withdrawal from the reserve fund based on the corporation's determination from an inspection of the lender's files that, for the immediately preceding twelve (12) calendar month period ending June 30, the balance in the reserve fund continuously exceeded fifty percent (50%) of the aggregate outstanding balance of all enrolled loans, including unfunded parts of enrolled loans that are lines of credit. The amount of the withdrawal may not be greater than the minimum amount of any excess as continuously maintained over the immediately preceding twelve (12) calendar month period ending June 30. Withdrawals of excess reserve funds by the corporation under this section may be used for any purpose.

(d) The right of the corporation to make a withdrawal from the reserve fund under subsection (b) or (c) is subject to the following provisions:

(1) If a year-end report is filed by July 16 or not more than thirty (30) days after July 16, the corporation has the right of withdrawal for a period of ninety (90) days from the date of the filing of the report with the corporation.

(2) If a year-end report is not filed by July 16 or not more than thirty (30) days after July 16, the corporation has the right of withdrawal for a period of ninety (90) days from the date the corporation determines from an inspection of the lender's files that the corporation is entitled to make a withdrawal from the reserve fund under this section.

is entitled to service credit for the armed service.

(b) A state employee who left employment before January 1, 1946, or an employee of a political subdivision who left employment before the participation date, to enter the United States armed services is entitled to service credit for the armed service if the member:

(1) except as provided in subsection (c), resumes service with the employer within one hundred twenty (120) days after the member's unconditional discharge; and

(2) would be entitled to service credit for military service under the applicable requirements of federal law in effect at the time of reemployment if the employee had resumed service with the employee's employer within ninety (90) days after discharge.

(c) The board shall extend the one hundred twenty (120) day reemployment requirement contained in subsection (a)(3) or (b)(1) if the board determines that an illness, an injury, or a disability related to the member's military service prevented the member from resuming employment within one hundred twenty (120) days after the member's discharge from military service. However, the board may not extend the deadline beyond thirty (30) months after the member's discharge.

(d) If a member retires and the board subsequently determines that the member is entitled to additional service credit due to the extension of a deadline under subsection (c), the board shall recompute the member's benefit. However, the additional service credit may be used only in the computation of benefits to be paid after the date of the board's determination, and the member is not entitled to a recomputation of benefits received before the date of the board's determination.

(e) Notwithstanding any provision of this section, a member is entitled to service credit and benefits in the amount and to the extent required by the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (38 U.S.C. 4301 et seq.).

(f) Subject to the provisions of this section, an active member may purchase and claim not more than two (2) years of service credit for the member's service on active duty in the armed services if the member meets the following conditions:

(2) The member serves on active duty in the armed services of the United States for at least six (6) months.

(3) The member receives a discharge from the armed services under conditions other than conditions set forth in IC 10-17-12-8.1(2).

(A) Contributions that are equal to the product of the following:

(i) The member's salary at the time the member actually makes a contribution for the service credit.

(ii) A rate, determined by the actuary of the fund, that is based on the age of the member at the time the member actually makes a contribution for service credit and computed to result in a contribution amount that approximates the actuarial present value of the benefit attributable to the service credit purchased.

(iii) The number of years of service credit the member intends to purchase.

(B) Contributions for any accrued interest, at a rate determined by the actuary of the fund, for the period from the member's initial membership in the fund to the date payment is made by the member.

However, a member is entitled to purchase service credit under this subsection only to the extent that service credit is not granted for that time under another provision of this section. At least ten (10) years of service in Indiana is required before a member may receive a benefit based on service credits purchased under this section. A member who terminates employment before satisfying the eligibility requirements necessary to receive a monthly allowance or receives a monthly allowance for the same service from another tax supported public employee retirement plan other than under the federal Social Security Act may withdraw the purchase amount plus accumulated interest after submitting a properly completed application for a refund to the fund.

(g) The following apply to the purchase of service credit under subsection (f):

(1) The board may allow a member to make periodic payments of the contributions required for the purchase of the service credit. The board shall determine the length of the period during which the payments must be made.

(2) The board may deny an application for the purchase of service credit if the purchase would exceed the limitations under Section 415 of the Internal Revenue Code.

(3) A member may not claim the service credit for purposes of determining eligibility or computing benefits unless the member has made all payments required for the purchase of the service credit.

(2) enjoin continuing, threatened, or future violations of this chapter; or

(3) declare void any policy, decision, or final action:

(A) taken at an executive session in violation of section 3(a) of this chapter;

(iii) series of gatherings in violation of section 3.1 of this chapter; or

(D) taken at a meeting held in a location in violation of section 8 of this chapter.

The plaintiff need not allege or prove special damage different from that suffered by the public at large.

(b) Regardless of whether a formal complaint or an informal inquiry is pending before the public access counselor, any action to declare any policy, decision, or final action of a governing body void, or to enter an injunction which would invalidate any policy, decision, or final action of a governing body, based on violation of this chapter occurring before the action is commenced, shall be commenced:

(1) prior to the delivery of any warrants, notes, bonds, or obligations if the relief sought would have the effect, if granted, of invalidating the notes, bonds, or obligations; or

(2) with respect to any other subject matter, within thirty (30) days of either:

(A) the date of the act or failure to act complained of; or

(B) the date that the plaintiff knew or should have known that the act or failure to act complained of had occurred;

whichever is later. If the challenged policy, decision, or final action is recorded in the memoranda or minutes of a governing body, a plaintiff is considered to have known that the act or failure to act complained of had occurred not later than the date that the memoranda or minutes are first available for public inspection.

(c) If a court finds that a governing body of a public agency has violated this chapter, it may not find that the violation was cured by the governing body by only having taken final action at a meeting that complies with this chapter.

(d) In determining whether to declare any policy, decision, or final action void, a court shall consider the following factors among other relevant factors:

(1) The extent to which the violation:

(A) affected the substance of the policy, decision, or final action;

(B) denied or impaired access to any meetings that the public had a right to observe and record; and

(C) prevented or impaired public knowledge or understanding of the public's business.

(2) Whether voiding of the policy, decision, or final action is a necessary prerequisite to a substantial reconsideration of the subject matter.

(3) Whether the public interest will be served by voiding the policy, decision, or final action by determining which of the following factors outweighs the other:

(A) The remedial benefits gained by effectuating the public policy of the state declared in section 1 of this chapter.

(B) The prejudice likely to accrue to the public if the policy, decision, or final action is voided, including the extent to which persons have relied upon the validity of the challenged action and the effect declaring the challenged action void would have on them.

(4) Whether the defendant acted in compliance with an informal inquiry response or advisory opinion issued by the public access counselor concerning the violation.

(e) If a court declares a policy, decision, or final action of a governing body of a public agency void, the court may enjoin the governing body from subsequently acting upon the subject matter of the voided act until it has been given substantial reconsideration at a meeting or meetings that comply with this chapter.

(f) In any action filed under this section, a court shall award reasonable attorney's fees, court costs, and other reasonable expenses of litigation to the prevailing party if:

(1) the plaintiff prevails; or

(2) the defendant prevails and the court finds that the action is frivolous and vexatious.

The plaintiff is not eligible for the awarding of attorney's fees, court costs, and other reasonable expenses if the plaintiff filed the action without first seeking and receiving an informal inquiry response or advisory opinion from the public access counselor, unless the plaintiff can show the filing of the action was necessary to prevent a violation of this chapter.

(g) A court may assess a civil penalty under section 7.5 of this chapter only if the plaintiff obtained an advisory opinion from the public access counselor before filing an action under this section as set forth in section 7.5 of this chapter.

(h) A court shall expedite the hearing of an action filed under this section.
