(b) Any member eligible to claim and purchase credit for service under subsection (a) shall be awarded such credit under the Teachers' Retirement System of Alabama provided that he or she pays to the Secretary-Treasurer of the Teachers' Retirement System, prior to the earlier of the member's date of retirement or October 1, 2001, a lump sum equal to the full actuarially determined cost for each year of service purchased as determined by the system's actuary.
