§ RS 11:450.1. Deferred Retirement Option Plan participation; termination due to hurricanes
A. Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, any member whose participation in the Deferred Retirement Option Plan has ended but who remained employed until such employment was interrupted or ceased upon his being terminated due to a reduction-in-force necessitated by Hurricane Katrina or Hurricane Rita, or both, shall have the time period applicable to his employment after participation in the plan adjusted upon his reemployment and resumption of membership in the system as though his employment had not ceased. The time period applicable to his continued employment after termination of plan participation, for purposes of this Section, shall be calculated as provided in R.S. 11:450(D)(3) and (4). However, such adjustment shall not include the period during which the member was not employed. Such adjustment shall be for an uninterrupted span of employment from reemployment through July 9, 2007. In no case shall this Section be applicable to anyone who became reemployed more than one year after being furloughed or terminated, whichever occurred first, or to anyone reemployed on or after December 31, 2006.
B. Any person seeking to avail himself of the provisions of this Section shall first repay all funds received from the system upon termination plus interest thereon charged at the board-approved actuarial valuation rate compounded annually from the date of payment of funds by the system to the date of repayment.
C. This Section shall apply only to retirees who elected to return to employment pursuant to Option 3 as provided in R.S. 11:416(A)(3).
