Louisiana Revised Statutes Tit. 11, § 2174.1. Credit for out-of-state full-time law enforcement service; actuarial purchase

A. (1) Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, any member who has at least eighteen months of creditable service in this fund shall be eligible to obtain credit for full-time law enforcement service rendered in any other state, provided that service shall not be credited to this fund if the member already has credit for that service in any other public retirement fund.

(2) In order to receive such credit, the retirement fund in which the member was enrolled while employed as a law enforcement officer in another state shall certify, under oath, that the member does not have credit in that fund which duplicates the credit being purchased in this fund.

(3) To purchase credit for such service, the member shall apply to the board of trustees of this fund and shall furnish a detailed statement of all such service, as the board may require. Additionally, the member shall pay an amount calculated in accordance with the provisions of R.S. 11:158. The cost of such credit shall be paid in a lump sum, and the amount paid shall be credited to the member's account in the Annuity Savings Fund.
