This bill provides that a county commissioner who is a member of the Maine Public Employees Retirement System and is contributing to a defined benefit plan, has previously served in the Legislature and is eligible to participate in the Legislative Retirement Program may become a member of the Legislative Retirement Program by submitting a written election to the Maine Public Employees Retirement System. Upon making the election, the past contributions of the county commissioner are transferred to the Legislative Retirement Program and service as a county commissioner is counted by the program as creditable service.
