Water patrol employees, membership options.

104.810. 1. Employees of the Missouri state water patrol* who are

earning creditable service in the closed plan of the Missouri state employees'

retirement system and who are transferred to the division of water patrol with

the Missouri state highway patrol shall elect within ninety days of January 1,

2011, to either remain a member of the Missouri state employees' retirement

system or transfer membership and creditable service to the closed plan of the

Missouri department of transportation and highway patrol employees' retirement

system. The election shall be made in writing after the employee has received

a detailed analysis comparing retirement, life insurance, disability benefits,

and medical benefits of a member of the Missouri state employees' retirement

system with the corresponding benefits provided an employee of the highway

patrol covered by the closed plan of the Missouri department of transportation

and highway patrol employees' retirement system. In electing plan membership

the employee shall acknowledge and agree that an election made under this

subsection is irrevocable, and constitutes a waiver to receive retirement,

life insurance, disability benefits, and medical benefits except as provided

by the system elected by the employee. Furthermore, in connection with the

election, the employee shall be required to acknowledge that the benefits

provided by virtue of membership in either system, and any associated costs to

the employee, may be different now or in the future as a result of the

election and that the employee agrees to hold both systems harmless with

regard to benefit differences resulting from the election.



2. Employees of the Missouri state water patrol* who are earning**

credited service in the year 2000 plan of the Missouri state employees'

retirement system and who are transferred to the division of water patrol with

the Missouri state highway patrol shall elect within ninety days of January 1,

2011, to either remain a member of the Missouri state employees' retirement

system or transfer membership and creditable service to the year 2000 plan of

the Missouri department of transportation and highway patrol employees'

retirement system. The election shall be made in writing after the employee

has received a detailed analysis comparing retirement, life insurance,

disability benefits, and medical benefits of a member of the Missouri state

employees' retirement system with the corresponding benefits provided an

employee of the highway patrol covered by the year 2000 plan of the Missouri

department of transportation and highway patrol employees' retirement system.

In electing plan membership the employee shall acknowledge and agree that an

election made under this subsection is irrevocable, and constitutes a waiver

to receive retirement, life insurance, disability benefits, and medical

benefits except as provided by the system elected by the employee.

Furthermore, in connection with the election, the employee shall be required

to acknowledge that the benefits provided by virtue of membership in either

system, and any associated costs to the employee, may be different now or in

the future as a result of the election and that the employee agrees to hold

both systems harmless with regard to benefit differences resulting from the

election.



3. The Missouri state employees' retirement system shall pay to the

Missouri department of transportation and highway patrol employees' retirement

system, by June 30, 2011, an amount actuarially determined to equal the

liability at the time of the transfer for any employee who elects under

subsection 1 or 2 of this section to transfer to the Missouri department of

transportation and highway patrol employees' retirement system, to the extent

that liability is funded as of the most recent actuarial valuation and based

on the actuarial value of assets not to exceed one hundred percent.



4. In no event shall any employee receive service credit for the same

period of service under more than one retirement system as a result of the

provisions of this section.



5. The only medical coverage available for any employee who elects under

subsection 1 or 2 of this section to transfer to the Missouri department of

transportation and highway patrol employees' retirement system shall be the

medical coverage provided in section 104.270. The effective date for

commencement of medical coverage shall be July 1, 2011. However, this does

not preclude medical coverage for the transferred employee as a dependent

under any other health care plan.



6. Any employee who elects under subsection 1 or 2 of this section to

transfer to the Missouri department of transportation and highway patrol

employees' retirement system and who is also thereafter a uniformed member of

the highway patrol shall be subject to the mandatory retirement age stated in

section 104.081.
