the disability benefit. The optional annuity must begin to accrue on the same date as
provided for the disability benefit.

(1) If a person who is not the spouse of a member is named as beneficiary of the
joint and survivor optional annuity, the person is eligible to receive the annuity only
if the spouse, on the disability application form prescribed by the executive director,
permanently waives the surviving spouse benefits under sections 353.31, subdivision 1,

maximum family benefit under section 353.31, subdivision 1a. If the maximum is
exceeded, each dependent child will receive ten percent of the member's specified
average monthly salary, and the benefit to the joint annuitant must be reduced to the
amount necessary so that the total family benefit does not exceed the 70 percent maximum
family benefit amount. The joint and survivor optional annuity must be restored to the
surviving spouse, plus applicable postretirement adjustments under new text beginMinnesota Statutes

Minneapolis Teachers Retirement Fund Association. The transfer of the assets of the
Minneapolis Teachers Retirement Fund Association special retirement fund must include
any accounts receivable that are determined by the executive director of the State Board of

to be invested by the State Board of Investment pursuant to the provisions of section

all claims which the Minneapolis Teachers Retirement Fund Association may have or may
assert against any person and is the successor in interest to all claims which could have
been asserted against the former Minneapolis Teachers Retirement Fund Association,
subject to the following exceptions and qualifications:

(1) the Teachers Retirement Association is not liable for any claim against the
Minneapolis Teachers Retirement Fund Association, its former board or board members,
which is founded upon a claim of breach of fiduciary duty, where the act or acts

investment fund as of June 30, 2006, and the required reserves of the Minnesota
postretirement investment fund as of June 30, 2006, applied to the present value of
future benefits payable to annuitants of the former Minneapolis Teachers Retirement
Fund Association as of June 30, 2006, including any postretirement adjustment from the
Minnesota postretirement investment fund expected to be payable on January 1, 2007,
must be transferred to the Minnesota postretirement investment fund. The executive
director of the State Board of Investment shall estimate this ratio at the time of the
transfer. By January 1, 2007, after all necessary financial information becomes available
to determine the actual funded ratio of the Minnesota postretirement investment fund, the
postretirement investment fund must refund to the Teachers Retirement Association any
excess assets or the Teachers Retirement Association must contribute any deficiency to

Association to the Teachers Retirement Association are insufficient to meet its obligation
to the Minnesota postretirement investment fund, additional assets must be transferred by

Minnesota Statutes 2008, section 356.215, subdivision 11, is amended to read:


Subd. 11.

Amortization contributions.

(a) In addition to the exhibit indicating
the level normal cost, the actuarial valuation of the retirement plan must contain an
exhibit for financial reporting purposes indicating the additional annual contribution
sufficient to amortize the unfunded actuarial accrued liability and must contain an exhibit
for contribution determination purposes indicating the additional contribution sufficient
to amortize the unfunded actuarial accrued liability. For the retirement plans listed in
subdivision 8, paragraph (c), the additional contribution must be calculated on a level
percentage of covered payroll basis by the established date for full funding in effect when
the valuation is prepared, assuming annual payroll growth at the applicable percentage
rate set forth in subdivision 8, paragraph (c). For all other retirement plans, the additional
annual contribution must be calculated on a level annual dollar amount basis.

(b) For any retirement plan other than the Minneapolis Employees Retirement Fund,
the general employees retirement plan of the Public Employees Retirement Association,
and the St. Paul Teachers Retirement Fund Association, if there has not been a change in
the actuarial assumptions used for calculating the actuarial accrued liability of the fund, a
change in the benefit plan governing annuities and benefits payable from the fund, a
change in the actuarial cost method used in calculating the actuarial accrued liability of all
or a portion of the fund, or a combination of the three, which change or changes by itself
or by themselves without inclusion of any other items of increase or decrease produce a
net increase in the unfunded actuarial accrued liability of the fund, the established date for
full funding is the first actuarial valuation date occurring after June 1, 2020.

(c) For any retirement plan other than the Minneapolis Employees Retirement
Fund and the general employees retirement plan of the Public Employees Retirement
Association, if there has been a change in any or all of the actuarial assumptions used
for calculating the actuarial accrued liability of the fund, a change in the benefit plan
governing annuities and benefits payable from the fund, a change in the actuarial cost
method used in calculating the actuarial accrued liability of all or a portion of the fund,
or a combination of the three, and the change or changes, by itself or by themselves and
without inclusion of any other items of increase or decrease, produce a net increase in the
unfunded actuarial accrued liability in the fund, the established date for full funding must
be determined using the following procedure:

(i) the unfunded actuarial accrued liability of the fund must be determined in
accordance with the plan provisions governing annuities and retirement benefits and the
actuarial assumptions in effect before an applicable change;

(ii) the level annual dollar contribution or level percentage, whichever is applicable,
needed to amortize the unfunded actuarial accrued liability amount determined under item
(i) by the established date for full funding in effect before the change must be calculated
using the interest assumption specified in subdivision 8 in effect before the change;

(iii) the unfunded actuarial accrued liability of the fund must be determined in
accordance with any new plan provisions governing annuities and benefits payable from
the fund and any new actuarial assumptions and the remaining plan provisions governing
annuities and benefits payable from the fund and actuarial assumptions in effect before
the change;

(iv) the level annual dollar contribution or level percentage, whichever is applicable,
needed to amortize the difference between the unfunded actuarial accrued liability amount
calculated under item (i) and the unfunded actuarial accrued liability amount calculated
under item (iii) over a period of 30 years from the end of the plan year in which the
applicable change is effective must be calculated using the applicable interest assumption
specified in subdivision 8 in effect after any applicable change;

(v) the level annual dollar or level percentage amortization contribution under item
(iv) must be added to the level annual dollar amortization contribution or level percentage
calculated under item (ii);

(vi) the period in which the unfunded actuarial accrued liability amount determined
in item (iii) is amortized by the total level annual dollar or level percentage amortization
contribution computed under item (v) must be calculated using the interest assumption
specified in subdivision 8 in effect after any applicable change, rounded to the nearest
integral number of years, but not to exceed 30 years from the end of the plan year in
which the determination of the established date for full funding using the procedure set
forth in this clause is made and not to be less than the period of years beginning in the
plan year in which the determination of the established date for full funding using the
procedure set forth in this clause is made and ending by the date for full funding in effect
before the change; and

(vii) the period determined under item (vi) must be added to the date as of which
the actuarial valuation was prepared and the date obtained is the new established date
for full funding.

(d) For the Minneapolis Employees Retirement Fund, the established date for full
funding is June 30, 2020.

(e) For the general employees retirement plan of the Public Employees Retirement
Association, the established date for full funding is June 30, 2031.

(f) For the Teachers Retirement Association, the established date for full funding is
June 30, 2037.

(g) For the correctional state employees retirement plan of the Minnesota State
Retirement System, the established date for full funding is June 30, 2038.

(h) For the judges retirement plan, the established date for full funding is June
30, 2038.

(i) For the public employees police and fire retirement plan, the established date
for full funding is June 30, 2038.

(j) For the St. Paul Teachers Retirement Fund Association, the established date for
full funding is June 30 of the 25th year from the valuation date. In addition to other
requirements of this chapter, the annual actuarial valuation shall contain an exhibit
indicating the funded ratio and the deficiency or sufficiency in annual contributions when
comparing liabilities to the market value of the assets of the fund as of the close of the
most recent fiscal year.

(k) For the retirement plans for which the annual actuarial valuation indicates an
excess of valuation assets over the actuarial accrued liability, the valuation assets in
excess of the actuarial accrued liability must be recognized as a reduction in the current
contribution requirements by an amount equal to the amortization of the excess expressed
as a level percentage of pay over a 30-year period beginning anew with each annual
actuarial valuation of the plan.

deleted text begin (l) In addition to calculating the unfunded actuarial accrued liability of the retirement
plan for financial reporting purposes under paragraphs (a) to (j), the actuarial valuation
of the retirement plan must also include a calculation of the unfunded actuarial accrued
liability of the retirement plan for purposes of determining the amortization contribution
sufficient to amortize the unfunded actuarial liability of the Minnesota Post Retirement
Investment Fund. For this exhibit, the calculation must be the unfunded actuarial accrued
liability net of the postretirement adjustment liability funded from the investment
performance of the Minnesota Post Retirement Investment Fund or the retirement benefit
fund.

Incentive.

(a) For an employee eligible under subdivision 1, if approved

(b) Approval to provide the incentive must be obtained from the commissioner
of finance if the eligible employee is a state employee and must be obtained from the
applicable governing board with respect to any other employing entity. An employee is

concerning the employee's disability including expert opinions as to whether the employee

(c) The director shall also obtain written certification from the employer stating
whether the employment has ceased or whether the employee is on sick leave of
absence because of a disability that will prevent further service to the employer and as a

parties. If the medical adviser finds the employee totally and permanently disabled, the

year, the contributions required under this subdivision to receive service credit may be

salary deductions. An employee must return to public service and render a minimum of
three months of allowable service in order to be eligible to make payment under section
353.0161 for a subsequent authorized leave of absence without pay. Upon payment, the
employee must be granted allowable service credit for the purchased period;

deleted text begin (5)deleted text end new text begin(6) new text enda periodic, repetitive leave that is offered to all employees of a governmental

member's average salary that would have been paid if the leave had not been taken. The
employer shall pay the employer and additional employer contributions on behalf of the
participating member. The employee and the employer are responsible to pay interest on
their respective shares at the rate of 8.5 percent a year, compounded annually, from the
end of the normal cycle until full payment is made. An employer shall also make the
employer and additional employer contributions, plus 8.5 percent interest, compounded
annually, on behalf of an employee who makes employee contributions but terminates
public service. The employee contributions must be made within one year after the end of
the annual normal working cycle or within deleted text begin20deleted text end new text begin30 new text enddays after termination of public service,

within the time frames required under United States Code, title 38, section 4312(e),
provided that the member did not separate from uniformed service with a dishonorable or

if the member pays into the fund equivalent employee contributions based upon the
contribution rate or rates in effect at the time that the uniformed service was performed
multiplied by the full and fractional years being purchased and applied to the annual salary
rate. The annual salary rate is the average annual salary during the purchase period that
the member would have received if the member had continued to be employed in covered
employment rather than to provide uniformed service, or, if the determination of that
rate is not reasonably certain, the annual salary rate is the member's average salary rate
during the 12-month period of covered employment rendered immediately preceding the
period of the uniformed service. Payment of the member equivalent contributions must
be made during a period that begins with the date on which the individual returns to
public employment and that is three times the length of the military leave period, or
within five years of the date of discharge from the military service, whichever is less. If
the determined payment period is less than one year, the contributions required under
this clause to receive service credit may be made within one year of the discharge date.
Payment may not be accepted following deleted text begin20deleted text end new text begin30 new text enddays after termination of public service
under subdivision 11a. If the member equivalent contributions provided for in this clause
are not paid in full, the member's allowable service credit must be prorated by multiplying
the full and fractional number of years of uniformed service eligible for purchase by the
ratio obtained by dividing the total member contributions received by the total member
contributions otherwise required under this clause. The equivalent employer contribution,
and, if applicable, the equivalent additional employer contribution must be paid by the
governmental subdivision employing the member if the member makes the equivalent
employee contributions. The employer payments must be made from funds available to
the employing unit, using the employer and additional employer contribution rate or
rates in effect at the time that the uniformed service was performed, applied to the same
annual salary rate or rates used to compute the equivalent member contribution. The
governmental subdivision involved may appropriate money for those payments. The
amount of service credit obtainable under this section may not exceed five years unless a
longer purchase period is required under United States Code, title 38, section 4312. The
employing unit shall pay interest on all equivalent member and employer contribution
amounts payable under this clause. Interest must be computed at a rate of 8.5 percent
compounded annually from the end of each fiscal year of the leave or the break in service

(b) This paragraph, in conjunction with paragraph (c), applies to a person who first
became a member of the association or a member of a pension fund listed in section
356.30, subdivision 3, before July 1, 1989, unless paragraph (d), in conjunction with
paragraph (e), produces a higher annuity amount, in which case paragraph (d) applies. The

July 1, 1989, and whose annuity is higher when calculated under paragraph (b), in
conjunction with this paragraph than when calculated under paragraph (d), in conjunction
