19-9-904. Termination of disability benefit. The board, in its discretion, may require the recipient of a disability retirement benefit to undergo a medical examination. The examination must be made by a board-approved physician or surgeon at a place mutually agreed on by the board, the disabled member, and the physician or surgeon and at the board's expense. Upon the basis of the examination, the board shall determine, by reason of physical or mental capacity, whether the recipient can perform the essential elements of the position held by the recipient when the recipient was retired. If an inactive member is determined by the board to be no longer disabled, the inactive member's disability retirement benefit must be canceled when the inactive member is offered a position under 19-9-905 or when, if a position is available, the former employee could not be reinstated under 19-9-905 for reasons unrelated to the disability. If the inactive member refuses to submit to a medical examination, the inactive member's disability retirement benefit must cease as of the date of the determination. The inactive member must be notified of the determination by the board. The board may review the status of an inactive member at any time.
