AN ACT to amend the definition of retirement To clarify that service as A volunteer guardian ad litem in the guardian ad litem program 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 board, or as
an unpaid bona fide volunteer in a local school administrative unit unit,
or as an unpaid bona fide volunteer Guardian ad Litem in the Guardian ad Litem
Program shall not be considered service."
