Sec. 8-226.2.
Validation of service credits.
An active member of
the General Assembly having no service credits or creditable service in
the Fund, may establish service credit and creditable service for
periods during which he was an employee of an employer in an elective
office, or in the service of an employer by temporary appointment or in
a position exempt from the classified service as set forth in the Civil
Service Act, or in a provisional or exempt position as specified in the
personnel ordinance, and could have elected to participate in the Fund
but did not so elect. Service credits and creditable service may be established by
payment to the Fund of an amount equal to the contributions he would
have made if he had elected to participate plus interest to the date of
payment, together with a like amount as the applicable municipality
credits including interest, but the total period of such creditable
service that may be validated shall not exceed 8 years.
