				  169.650,
				  RSMo and for rights to retain membership under certain specified
				  conditions.
(1) Effective
				July 1, 2004, a person shall be considered to be regularly employed if he or
				she is employed in a position that normally requires continuous services for at
				least twenty (20) hours per week for the school term and normally requires at
				least six hundred (600) hours during the school term. A person who meets the
				requirements above, but who does not complete six hundred (600) hours of

				regularly employed.
(2) The
				employer of any person eligible for membership in the retirement system under
				the provisions of section 169.600.15, RSMo shall furnish to the board of
				trustees a certified copy of a resolution adopted by the governing body
				responsible for the administration of the junior college district before any
				such person shall be considered eligible for membership. This resolution shall
				request the board of trustees to grant membership to the eligible employees of
				the district who are now or may become eligible for membership and shall
				indicate that the governing body will assume full responsibility for the
				withholding of contributions from the salaries paid to such persons and for the
				remittance of contributions to the retirement system (also see
				16 CSR
				10-2.010 and
				16 CSR
				10-3.010 ).
(3) Any person whose employment renders
				him/her eligible for membership in The Public School Retirement System of
				Missouri as of August 13, 1984, who on that date was a member of The Public
				Education Employee Retirement System of Missouri because of that employment,
				may elect continued coverage under The Public Education Employee Retirement
				System of Missouri as long as s/he remains in that same position with the same
				employer. The election must be made in writing and filed with the board of
				trustees prior to July 1, 1985, and will be irrevocable after that date. If the
				election is not made prior to July 1, 1985, the person shall establish
				membership in and contribute to The Public School Retirement System of Missouri
				for services rendered in that position after June 30, 1985, as long as s/he
				remains eligible for membership under section
				169.010(16),
				RSMo.
(4) Any person whose
				employment is fulltime as defined by The Public School Retirement System of
				Missouri and is thus eligible as of July 1, 1995, for coverage under The Public
				School Retirement System of Missouri, and which employment prior to July 1,
				1995, required membership in The Public Education Employee Retirement System of
				Missouri, may make an irrevocable election for continued membership under The
				Public Education Employee Retirement System for the duration of employment in
				the same position with the same employer if the election is made in writing and
				filed with the board of trustees by September 30, 1995. If the election is not
				filed by that date, the employee shall participate as of July 1, 1995, in The
				Public School Retirement System of Missouri because of that employment as long
				as the person remains eligible for membership under section
				169.010(16),
				RSMo.
