This bill amends the North Dakota Century Code by adding a new provision to the disability retirement benefit eligibility criteria. Specifically, it states that a member who has reached their normal retirement age or normal retirement date and is eligible for unreduced retirement benefits is prohibited from applying for a disability retirement benefit.

The addition of this language clarifies the eligibility requirements for disability retirement benefits, ensuring that individuals who are already eligible for full retirement benefits cannot simultaneously seek disability benefits. This change aims to streamline the retirement process and maintain the integrity of the disability retirement system.
