(a) Any person who on October 1, 1990 was a member of the Teachers' Retirement System who was employed in a public school in Alabama shall be entitled to receive credit for all service rendered in such public school regardless of the manner in which the member's salary was paid or the source of funds for such salary; provided, however, that this provision shall not apply to any person who at the time of such service with a public school was also a student at the institution by which he was employed.
(b) Any person employed in the capacity set out in subsection (a) of this section shall be entitled to receive credit for all service as a teacher rendered by him provided that said person pays to the Secretary-Treasurer within one year from October 1, 1990 for each year of claimed service, a sum equal to a percentage of his average final compensation or current annual earnable compensation, whichever is greater; the applicable percentage shall be the sum of the prevailing percentage rates of employer and member contributions, as required by the most recent actuarial valuations, for each year of service purchased. In the event the employer is unable to verify the salary or employment of any person covered in subsection (a) of this section, upon certification of such employer that records are not available, the member may submit affidavits from two disinterested parties with personal knowledge attesting to the salary and employment of said member.
