Louisiana Revised Statutes Tit. 11, § 723. Members employed in other state employment; exception

A. (1) Notwithstanding any enrollment error occurring prior to January 1, 1992, and except as provided in Subsection C of this Section, any person who is a member of the Teachers' Retirement System of Louisiana, who has creditable membership service of at least five years in this system and who becomes employed in other state or public employment where he is no longer eligible for membership in this system but is eligible for membership in another state or statewide retirement system, shall have the right to remain a member of this system in lieu of membership in the other retirement system by filing a notice, in writing, with the board of trustees within sixty days after the effective date of employment. Such election shall be irrevocable.

(2) If a member is not informed of his right to remain a member of the Teachers' Retirement System of Louisiana, the system, upon satisfactory proof, including a written verification by the member's new employer that he was not properly informed of his right to retain membership in the system, may allow such member to retain his membership in the Teachers' Retirement System of Louisiana. Any contributions due the Teachers' Retirement System of Louisiana shall be accepted and processed only in accordance with the provisions of R.S. 11:888.
