more years of creditable service and who has become permanently unable to
perform the duties of a police officer as the result of an injury or
illness not exclusively caused or induced by the actual performance of his
or her official duties or by his or her own negligence shall be retired by
the board of trustees of the police retirement system upon certification by
the medical board of the police retirement system and approval by the board
of trustees of the police retirement system that the member is mentally or
physically unable to perform the duties of a police officer, that the
inability is permanent or likely to become permanent, and that the member

board of trustees may, and upon the member's application shall, require any
nonduty disability beneficiary who has not yet attained sixty years of age
to undergo a medical examination at a place designated by the medical board
or such physicians as the medical board appoints. If any nonduty
disability beneficiary who has not attained sixty years of age refuses to
submit to a medical examination, his or her nonduty disability pension may
be discontinued until his or her withdrawal of such refusal, and if his or
her refusal continues for one year, all rights in and to such pension may
be revoked by the board of trustees.
3. If the medical board certifies to the board of trustees that a
nonduty disability beneficiary is able to perform the duties of a police
officer, and if the board of trustees concurs on the report, then such
beneficiary's nonduty disability pension shall cease.
4. If upon cessation of a disability pension under subsection 3 of
this section, the former disability beneficiary is restored to active
service, he or she shall again become a member, and he or she shall
contribute thereafter at the same rate as other members. Upon his or her
subsequent retirement, he or she shall be credited with all of his or her
active retirement, but not including any time during which the former
disability beneficiary received a disability pension under this section.
