 6         121.4501  Public Employee Optional Retirement

 7  Program.--

 8         (3)  ELIGIBILITY; RETIREMENT SERVICE CREDIT.--

 9         (c)1.  Notwithstanding paragraph (b), each eligible

10  employee who elects to participate in the Public Employee

11  Optional Retirement Program and establishes one or more

12  individual participant accounts under the optional program may

13  elect to transfer to the optional program a sum representing

14  the present value of the employee's accumulated benefit

15  obligation under the defined benefit retirement program of the

16  Florida Retirement System. Upon such transfer, all service

17  credit previously earned under the defined benefit program of

18  the Florida Retirement System shall be nullified for purposes

19  of entitlement to a future benefit under the defined benefit

20  program of the Florida Retirement System. A participant is

21  precluded from transferring the accumulated benefit obligation

22  balance from the defined benefit program upon the expiration

23  of the period afforded to enroll in the optional program.

24         2.  For purposes of this subsection, the present value

25  of the member's accumulated benefit obligation is based upon

26  the member's estimated creditable service and estimated

27  average final compensation under the defined benefit program,

28  subject to recomputation under subparagraph 3. For state

29  employees enrolling under subparagraph (4)(a)1., initial

30  estimates will be based upon creditable service and average

31  final compensation as of midnight on June 30, 2002; for

                                  12

 2  (4)(b)1., initial estimates will be based upon creditable

 3  service and average final compensation as of midnight on

 4  September 30, 2002; and for local government employees

 5  enrolling under subparagraph (4)(c)1., initial estimates will

 6  be based upon creditable service and average final

 7  compensation as of midnight on December 31, 2002. The dates

 8  respectively specified above shall be construed as the

 9  "estimate date" for these employees. The actuarial present

10  value of the employee's accumulated benefit obligation shall

11  be based on the following:

12         a.  The discount rate and other relevant actuarial

13  assumptions used to value the Florida Retirement System Trust

14  Fund at the time the amount to be transferred is determined,

15  consistent with the factors provided in sub-subparagraphs b.

16  and c.

17         b.  A benefit commencement age, based on the member's

18  estimated creditable service as of the estimate date. The

19  benefit commencement age shall be the younger of the

20  following, but shall not be younger than the member's age as

21  of the estimate date:

22         (I)  Age 62; or

23         (II)  The age the member would attain if the member

24  completed 30 years of service with an employer, assuming the

25  member worked continuously from the estimate date, and

26  disregarding any vesting requirement that would otherwise

27  apply under the defined benefit program of the Florida

28  Retirement System.

29         c.  For members of the Special Risk Class and for

30  members of the Special Risk Administrative Support Class

 9  apply under the defined benefit program of the Florida

10  Retirement System.

11         d.  The calculation shall disregard vesting

12  requirements and early retirement reduction factors that would

13  otherwise apply under the defined benefit retirement program.

14         3.  For each participant who elects to transfer moneys

15  from the defined benefit program to his or her account in the

16  optional program, the division shall recompute the amount

17  transferred under subparagraph 2. not later than 60 days after

18  the actual transfer of funds based upon the participant's

19  actual creditable service and actual final average

20  compensation as of the initial date of participation in the

21  optional program. If the recomputed amount differs from the

22  amount transferred under subparagraph 2. by $10 or more, the

23  division shall:

24         a.  Transfer, or cause to be transferred, from the

25  Florida Retirement System Trust Fund to the participant's

26  account in the optional program the excess, if any, of the

27  recomputed amount over the previously transferred amount

28  together with interest from the initial date of transfer to

29  the date of transfer under this subparagraph, based upon 8

30  percent effective annual interest, compounded annually.

 4  over the recomputed amount, together with interest from the

 5  initial date of transfer to the date of transfer under this

 6  subparagraph, based upon 6 percent effective annual interest,

 7  compounded annually, pro rata based on the participant's

 8  allocation plan.

 9         4.  As directed by the participant, the board shall

10  transfer or cause to be transferred the appropriate amounts to

11  the designated accounts. The board shall establish transfer

12  procedures by rule, but the actual transfer shall not be later

13  than 30 days after the effective date of the member's

14  participation in the optional program unless the major

15  financial markets for securities available for a transfer are

16  seriously disrupted by an unforeseen event which also causes

17  the suspension of trading on any national securities exchange

18  in the country where the securities were issued. In that

19  event, such 30-day period of time may be extended by a

20  resolution of the trustees. Transfers are not commissionable

21  or subject to other fees and may be in the form of securities

22  or cash as determined by the state board. Such securities

23  shall be valued as of the date of receipt in the participant's

24  account.

25         5.  If the board or the division receives notification

26  from the United States Internal Revenue Service that this

27  paragraph or any portion of this paragraph will cause the

28  retirement system, or a portion thereof, to be disqualified

29  for tax purposes under the Internal Revenue Code, then the

30  portion that will cause the disqualification does not apply.
