PART III. CREDITABLE SERVICE
§1131. Prior service credit; determination by board of trustees
A. Under such rules and regulations as the board of trustees shall adopt, each member who was an employee at any time during the five years immediately preceding July 1, 1947, and who became a member during the first year after such date, shall file a detailed statement of all services rendered by him as an employee prior to the date he became a member for which he claims credit.
B. The board of trustees shall fix and determine by appropriate rules how much service in any year is equivalent to one year of service, but in no case shall more than one year of service be creditable for all service in one calendar year.
C. Subject to the above restrictions and to such other rules and regulations as the board of trustees may adopt, the board of trustees shall verify, as soon as practicable after the filing of such statements of service, the services therein claimed.
D. In lieu of a determination of the actual compensation of the members that was received during such period of prior service, the board of trustees may use, for the purpose of this Chapter, the compensation rates which, if they had progressed with the rates of salary increase shown in the tables prescribed in R.S. 11:1171, would have resulted in a same average salary of the member for the five years immediately preceding the date this system became operative as the records show the member actually received.
Redesignated from R.S. 17:901 by Acts 1991, No. 74, §3, eff. June 25, 1991.
