When any state member is charged by indictment with the commission of any felony involving the accepting or giving, or offering to accept or give, any bribe, the embezzlement of public money, extortion, theft of public money, perjury, or conspiracy to commit any of those crimes, arising directly out of his or her official duties, and is a fugitive from justice, the board shall conduct an investigation and shall hold a hearing for the purpose of determining whether, in the light of all factors, the offense charged is of such a nature as to justify suspension of his or her membership in this system. If the board so determines, he or she shall be suspended from membership in this system while the charge is pending and until final disposition of the charge. At any time during the period of suspension of membership, the person so suspended shall be entitled to withdraw his or her accumulated contributions from this system, and that withdrawal shall constitute an election to terminate membership in this system.
(Amended by Stats. 1996, Ch. 906, Sec. 29. Effective January 1, 1997.)
