§ 6117. Election of Retirement System.
Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, any Judge holding office at the date of
enactment of this Act shall be permitted upon retirement from active duty to elect whether he or she wishes
to be covered by § 6114 of this Chapter if otherwise qualified; or whether he or she desires to avail himself
or herself of the annuities under the Fund if he or she is a member of the Fund.
NOTE: The “date of enactment of this Act” is January 14, 1993 at midnight pursuant to § 1103 of this Title. There is
a definite potential for conflict between this section and § 6114 of this Chapter. Both sections deal with the election of
sitting judges to choose which retirement system they wish to participate in. However, the terms of election differ in
