HB 1522: Military service credit

Crediting military service to certain employees.

Summary

  • Allows military credit to be obtained, after completing military service, if the employee applies for re-employment with the leave-of-absence employer within one year (or is re-employed within 10 years under certain conditions) instead of within 90 days of receiving an honorable discharge under current law.
  • Allows any member with 25 years creditable service to take up to five years of military service regardless of whether the member took a leave of absence during the 25 years.
  • Exempts the member from paying his or her portion of the plan contribution for the military service credit.
