§ 43:6a-12.
Whenever the Supreme Court shall certify to the Governor, any member who shall have
served as a judge of the several courts, may be retired for disability if the member
has become physically or otherwise incapacitated for full and efficient service to
the State in his judicial capacity. The Governor shall thereupon refer the disability claim to three physicians of skill
and repute in their profession and residents of this State who shall examine the member
and report to the Governor as to his physical or other disability and whether in all
reasonable probability, if they find the disability existent, it will continue permanently
and does and will continue to prevent the member from giving full and efficient service
in the performance of his judicial duties. If the report confirms the existence of the disability, and if the Governor approves
the report, the member shall be retired not less than 1 month next following the date
of filing of an application with the retirement system, and he shall receive a retirement
allowance which shall consist of an annuity which is the actuarial equivalent of his
accumulated deductions together with regular interest, and a pension which, when added
to the member's annuity, will provide a retirement allowance during the remainder
of his life in an amount equal to three-fourths of his final salary.
