in amount to three-fourths the sum received as a salary for his or her judicial services

during the last year thereof, payable monthly from the Judicial Retirement Fund established

pursuant to NRS 1A.160 . 2. Any judge of the district court who has served as a justice of the Supreme Court,

services during the last year thereof, payable monthly from the Judicial Retirement

Fund established pursuant to NRS 1A.160 . 3. Any judge of the district court who qualifies for a pension under the provisions

of subsection 2 is entitled to receive, for each year served beyond 5 years up to

a maximum of 22 years, an additional 4.1666 percent of the sum received as a salary

for his or her judicial services during the last year thereof, payable as provided

in subsection 2. 4. Any judge who has retired pursuant to subsection 3 and is thereafter recalled to

additional active service in the court system is entitled to receive credit toward

accumulating 22 years' service for the maximum pension based upon the time he or she

actually spends in the additional active service. 5. Any district judge who has the years of service necessary to retire but has not

attained the required age may retire at any age with a benefit actuarially reduced

to the required retirement age. A retirement benefit under this subsection must be reduced in the same manner as

benefits are reduced for persons retired under the Public Employees' Retirement System. 6. Any person receiving a pension pursuant to the provisions of this section is entitled

to receive postretirement increases equal to those provided for persons retired in

the Public Employees' Retirement System. 7. Any judge of the district court who desires to receive the benefits of this section

must file with the Executive Officer of the Public Employees' Retirement Board an

affidavit setting forth the fact that he or she is ending his or her service, the

date and place of his or her birth, and the years he or she has served in any district

court, the Court of Appeals or the Supreme Court. 8. Any judge who has retired and is thereafter recalled to additional active service

in the court system as a senior judge, senior justice of the peace or senior municipal

court judge is entitled to receive a retirement allowance during the period of reemployment

in addition to compensation for services. 9. The faith of the State of Nevada is hereby pledged that this section shall not

be repealed or amended so as to affect any judge of the district court who may have

ended his or her service pursuant to it.
