1 Credit for Out-of-State Service. Amend the introductory paragraph of RSA 100-A:4-b, I to read as follows:
I. Notwithstanding any provision of RSA 100-A to the contrary, any group I employee or teacher member of the New Hampshire retirement system, in service on or after June 30, 1990, who was formerly a member of a public employees' retirement system outside of New Hampshire, shall be allowed to purchase credit for such out-of-state service as creditable service in the New Hampshire retirement system; provided, however, that except as permitted under paragraph III creditable service in the New Hampshire retirement system which is purchased under this paragraph shall not be deemed creditable service for the purpose of eligibility for medical and surgical benefits as a retired employee under RSA 21-I:30.
