(h) This subsection applies only to a mandatory inservice training program under subsection (g). Notwithstanding subsection (g), the board may, without adopting rules under IC 4-22-2, modify the course work of a training subject matter, modify the number of hours of training required within a particular subject matter, or add a new subject matter, if the board satisfies the following requirements:

(1) The board must conduct at least two (2) public meetings on the proposed modification or addition.

(2) After approving the modification or addition at a public meeting, the board must post notice of the modification or addition on the Indiana law enforcement academy's website at least thirty (30) days before the modification or addition takes effect.

If the board does not satisfy the requirements of this subsection, the modification or addition is void. This subsection does not authorize the board to eliminate any inservice training subject matter required under subsection (g).

(i) The board shall also adopt rules establishing a town marshal and conservancy district marshal basic training program, subject to the following:

(1) The program must require fewer hours of instruction and class attendance and fewer courses of study than are required for the mandated basic training program.

A police chief must successfully complete the executive training program within six (6) months of the date the police chief initially takes office. However, if space in the executive training program is not available at a time that will allow completion of the executive training program within six (6) months of the date the police chief initially takes office, the police chief must successfully complete the next available executive training program that is offered after the police chief initially takes office.

(1) the police chief of any city;

(2) the police chief of any town having a metropolitan police department; and

Status: reserved

Sec. 2.

If a member has elected to withdraw the member's annuity savings account under IC 5-10.2-3-6.5, the member's retirement benefit is equal to the pension provided by employer contributions, unless the member has transferred the creditable service earned under the public employees' retirement fund to another governmental retirement plan under IC 5-10.2-3-1(i). Regardless of a member's election under this section, contributions that are posted to a member's annuity savings account after the final date on which the member's retirement benefit is processed may be distributed to the member as determined by the rules of the board.

(1) the amount credited to the member in the annuity savings account; or

(2) the amount equal to the member's federal income tax basis in the member's annuity savings account balance as it existed on December 31, 1986.

(c) Subject to subsections (d) and (e), if a member has not elected to withdraw the entire amount in the member's annuity savings account under IC 5-10.2-3-6.5, a member may choose upon retirement or upon disability retirement to begin receiving a pension provided by employer contributions and to defer receiving all or part of the amount in the member's annuity savings account. If a member chooses this option:

(1) the member's annuity savings account will continue to be invested according to the member's direction under IC 5-10.2-2-3; and

(2) the member may later choose, as of the first day of a month, or an alternate date established by the rules of the board, to receive one (1) or more distributions of all or part of:

(A) the entire amount then credited to the member in the annuity savings account; or

(B) an amount equal to the member's federal income tax basis in the member's annuity savings account balance as it existed on December 31, 1986.

If the member chooses to receive the distribution under subdivision (2), the member is entitled to an annuity purchasable by the amount remaining in the member's annuity savings account after the payments under subdivision (2). If the member does not choose to receive a distribution under this subsection, the member is entitled to an annuity purchasable by all or part of the amount in the member's annuity savings account, and the form of the annuity shall be as described in subsection (e) unless the member elects an option described in section 7(b)(1), 7(b)(2), or 7(b)(4) of this chapter. The amount to be paid under this section shall be determined in the manner described in IC 5-10.2-2-3. However, the board may by rule provide for an alternate valuation date.

(d) A member may make any combination of choices under subsections (a) through (c) over time with respect to the remaining amount credited to the member in the annuity savings account.

(e) Retirement benefits must be distributed in a manner that complies with Section 401(a)(9) of the Internal Revenue Code, as specified in IC 5-10.2-2-1.5.

Out-of-state service
Status: in_force

Sec. 4. (a) As used in this section, "out-of-state service" means service in any state in a comparable position that would be creditable service if performed in Indiana. The term includes comparable service performed:

(1) on a United States military installation;

(2) in a federal prison; or

(3) at an educational facility operated or supervised by the Bureau of Indian Affairs.

(b) In computing the service credit for a member who began teaching in Indiana before July 1, 1981, and who has served as a public school teacher out of state, the board may include the greater of:

(1) eight (8) years of out-of-state service rendered before July 1, 1981; or

(2) one (1) year of out-of-state service rendered before July 1, 1981, for every four (4) years of in-state service.

(c) In addition, a member may purchase and claim out-of-state service credit that has not been claimed under subsection (b) subject to the limitations of subsections (d) and (e) if the member satisfies the following requirements:

(1) The member has at least one (1) year of creditable service in the fund.

(2) Before the member retires, the member makes contributions to the fund that meet the following requirements:

(A) The contributions are equal to the product of the following:

(i) For service credit purchased before January 1, 1994, the member's salary when the member first became a member of the fund. For service credit purchased after December 31, 1993, the member's salary at the time the member actually makes a contribution for the service credit.

(ii) For service credit purchased before January 1, 1994, normal cost, as determined by the actuary of the fund. For purposes of this section, "normal cost" means the value of the annual amount required to fund the prospective benefits promised an employee for the work the employee has performed. For service credit purchased after December 31, 1993, a percentage rate, as determined by the actuary of the fund, 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 out-of-state service the member intends to purchase.

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

(3) The member has received verification from the fund that the out-of-state service is, as of that date, valid.

(d) Out-of-state years that qualify a member for retirement in an out-of-state system or in a federal retirement system may not be granted under this section.

(e) After April 1, 1965, at least ten (10) years of in-state service is required before a member may claim any out-of-state service credits.

(f) A member who:

(1) terminates employment before satisfying the eligibility requirements necessary to receive a monthly allowance; or

(2) 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 personal contributions made under the contributory plan 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 this section after July 1, 1998:

(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.

(h) Contributions received after July 1, 1993, for the purchase of service credit under this section must be applied against the unfunded accrued liability of the fund.
