(1) The board may, in its discretion, adopt rules suspending the benefits of a member who participates in the defined benefit system, separates from service, elects a retirement, and subsequently returns to work with an employer who participates in the defined benefit system. Such rules shall indicate whether the member shall earn additional service credit as determined by the plan in which the subsequent employer participates and whether the benefit distribution shall resume at such time as the member subsequently separates from service.

(2) Notwithstanding subsection (1) of this section, the board may adopt rules that allow a member who has reached normal retirement age and who has separated from service, elected a retirement under the defined benefit system, and subsequently returned to work with an employer who provides benefits under the defined benefit system to:

(a) Continue receiving distribution of the member's retirement benefits; and

(b) Earn additional retirement benefits in an alternate money purchase plan.

(3) Prior to the adoption of any rules promulgated pursuant to subsection (2) of this section, the board shall make a finding that such rules are in compliance with section 31-31-204 (3), and that there will be no adverse actuarial impact to the defined benefit system as a result of the implementation of such rules.
