(a) A full-time teacher who takes ninety (90) or fewer days of leave without pay to care for the teacher's child during the first year of the child's life shall receive retirement service credit for the days taken as leave without pay if:

(1) the employing district certifies to TRS that the employee's leave without pay was taken with the proper approval of the employing district's Board of Education; and

(2) TRS receives payment for the actuarial cost of the service credit for the days taken as leave without pay;

(b) The teacher shall notify their employer and TRS in writing within thirty (30) days from the date the teacher returns to work that the teacher will pay the actuarial cost of the service credit for the days taken as leave without pay.

1This emergency action expired before being superseded by a permanent action. Upon expiration of an emergency action enacting a new Section, the Section is no longer effective. Therefore, on 7-15-99 (after the 7-14-99 expiration of the emergency action), the text of section 715:10-5-33 was no longer effective, and remained as such until added by permanent action on 9-13-99.
