Any governmental unit not participating in the retirement system on July 1, 1977, may choose to participate in the retirement system and may elect to purchase past service in accordance with North Dakota Century Code section 54-52-02.1. If the governmental unit elects to purchase past service and prior to the governmental unit's governing authority contracting with the retirement board, the governmental unit must furnish the board with information concerning the permanent employees of the governmental unit. This information should contain, but is not limited to (1) name; (2) social security number; (3) date of birth; (4) date of employment; (5) current monthly salary; and (6) any previous public employment.

After receipt of this data, the retirement office will calculate the cost to the governmental unit to participate in the retirement plan as offered in North Dakota Century Code section 54-52-17. The governmental unit's governing authority will then decide whether or not to participate in the plan and whether or not to provide service credit for employment prior to the date of participation.
