§ 3-110.7.

Transfer between Article 3 funds. (a) An active member of a pension fund established under this Article may apply for transfer to that fund of his or her creditable service and related contributions accumulated in any other police pension fund established under this Article, except that a police officer may not transfer creditable service under this Section from a pension fund unless (i) the police officer actively served in the police department under that fund for at least 2 years, (ii) the police officer actively served in the police department under that fund for less than 2 years but was laid off or otherwise involuntarily terminated for a reason other than the fault of the officer, or (iii) the police officer was not in service in the police department under that fund on or after the effective date of this Section. Upon receiving the application, that other pension fund shall transfer to the pension fund in which the applicant currently participates an amount equal to: (1) the amounts actually contributed by or on behalf of the applicant to the fund as employee contributions (including any interest paid by the applicant in order to reinstate service), plus interest on those amounts at the rate of 6% per year, compounded annually, from the date of contribution to the date of transfer; plus (2) an amount representing employer contributions, equal to the total amount determined under subdivision (1). Participation in that other pension fund shall terminate on the date of transfer. (b) An active member of a pension fund established under this Article may reinstate service in any other pension fund established under this Article that was terminated by receipt of a refund, by paying to that other pension fund the amount of the refund plus interest thereon at the rate of 6% per year, compounded annually, from the date of refund to the date of payment.
