Louisiana Revised Statutes Tit. 11, § 3145. Military service credit

B. Time lost on account of sickness and fire department “service injury” shall constitute “service” in the fire department.

C. “Service” in said fire department, as used in this Firemen's Pension and Relief Fund, shall also include any activity while on or off duty with a view toward saving life or property, excluding injury or disease from other gainful employment.

D. That period of time during which a fireman has a disability by reason of service and is drawing disability benefits pursuant to R.S. 11:3143(1) shall be credited to the member with a disability as “time served” for purposes of retirement on years of service.

E. Time served prior to the enactment of this Part in the active service of said fire department shall be considered as “service” in the said fire department and shall be credited to all active members on July 26, 1972. However, certain active members of the Bastrop Fire Department have heretofore withdrawn certain salary deductions from an existing retirement plan with the City of Bastrop. In order to be eligible for any benefits under this Part, such members must immediately begin a plan of refund of such amounts acceptable to the Board of Trustees, into this Fund and the entire amount of such withdrawals must be recovered within six months of July 26, 1972. No benefits will be paid hereunder until the entire amount withdrawn shall have been replaced.
