A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT to amend the definition of retirement To clarify that service as an unpaid volunteer is not considered service for the purpose of that definition.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
SECTION 1. G.S. 135-1(20) reads as rewritten:
"(20) "Retirement" means the
termination of employment and the complete separation from active service with
no intent or agreement, express or implied, to return to service. A retirement
allowance under the provisions of this Chapter may only be granted upon retirement
of a member. In order for a member's retirement to become effective in any
month, the member must render no service, including part-time, temporary,
substitute, or contractor service, at any time during the six months
immediately following the effective date of retirement. For purposes of this
subdivision, service as a member of a school board or as an unpaid bona fide
volunteer in a local school administrative unit shall not be considered
service."
SECTION 2. This act is effective from and after March 24, 2009.
