§2265. Assignment of employee contributions; credit union loans
A.(1) Notwithstanding any other provisions of law, any member of this system shall be authorized to assign his accumulated employee contributions to any firefighters' credit union in consideration of a loan.
(2) The member shall authorize the system to deliver or pay the total amount of his accumulated employee contributions to the designated credit union, upon termination or resignation of employment but only if he has less than twelve years of creditable service. If a member who accumulates twelve or more years of creditable service and who, having previously executed a valid assignment of employee contribution, elects to withdraw his accumulated employee contributions, then those contributions may be delivered to the credit union as provided in this Section.
(3) No refund shall be paid to a member until his loan is paid in full and no accumulated contributions shall be paid to a credit union until the credit union certifies to the retirement system that the member has failed to make payments on his loan, for sixty days or more, after termination of employment.
B.(1) The credit union shall apply the refund of contributions to the balance owed at the time of termination, and any surplus shall be returned by the credit union to the member.
(2) Upon receipt of a duly executed assignment of accumulated contributions by a member, the system is hereby authorized to pay all accumulated contributions standing to the member's credit at the time of termination or resignation, to the designated credit union.
C.(1) After payment of all accumulated contributions to the credit union, the employee shall cease to be a member of the system and the system shall not be liable to the employee in any manner whatsoever.
(2) The credit union shall be required to submit a duly executed release of assignment in the event the loan is paid in full, and such assignment shall be null and void.
