STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE
In the Year of Our Lord Two Thousand Two
AN ACT relative to payment of medical benefits costs for disabled group II members of the retirement system.
Be it Enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court convened:
128:1 Group II Disabled Members; Medical Benefits; Application. Amend RSA 100-A:55, I to read as follows:
I. The additional benefits provided under RSA 100-A:52 shall apply to persons who are active or retired members of group II as of June 30, 2000; to persons who prior to July 1, 1988, had completed no less than 20 years of group II creditable service, but who for reasons other than retirement or death ceased to be a group II member prior to attaining the age of 45, and who, as of July 1, 1993, are eligible for vested deferred retirement benefits; and to persons who are group II permanent policemen or permanent firemen members on disability retirement as the natural and proximate result of injuries suffered while in the performance of duty who become permanent policemen members of group II before July 1, [2002] 2003 or permanent firemen members of group II before July 1, [2002] 2003. Such additional benefits shall not apply to other persons who become members of group II after [June 30, 2002] the dates stated in this paragraph, without future legislation to include them. It is the intent of the legislature that future group II members shall be included only if the total cost of such inclusion can be funded by reimbursement from the special account established under RSA 100-A:16, II(h).
128:2 Effective Date. This act shall take effect July 1, 2002.
(Approved: May 8, 2002)
(Effective Date: July 1, 2002)
