  2.33  COMPENSATION REPORTING.] (a) The board shall adopt necessary 
  2.34  standards for the reporting of base salary amounts and 
  2.35  extracurricular activity compensation amounts.  Reporting of 
  2.36  base salary amounts and extracurricular activity compensation 
  3.1   amounts is the responsibility of an employing unit with members 
  3.2   covered by the fund.  An employing unit with a member covered by

  3.18  extracurricular activity compensation is only creditable if 
  3.19  contemporaneous member contributions were made on the 
  3.20  extracurricular activity compensation amount.  The documentation 
  3.21  standards may not unreasonably differentiate between the various 
  3.22  types of teaching personnel engaged in extracurricular activity 
  3.23  management and may not differentiate between the various school 
  3.24  districts in a given school year. 
  3.25     Sec. 6.  Minnesota Statutes 1994, section 354.44, 
  3.26  subdivision 6, is amended to read: 
  3.27     Subd. 6.  [COMPUTATION OF FORMULA PROGRAM RETIREMENT

  3.32  member's formula service credit.  
  3.33     ~~For all years of formula service credit, "average salary,"~~ 
  3.34  ~~for the purpose of determining the member's retirement annuity,~~ 
  3.35  ~~means the average salary upon which contributions were made and~~

  4.3   ~~provided, however, that such "average salary" shall not include~~ 
  4.4   ~~any more than the equivalent of 60 monthly salary payments.~~  
  4.5   ~~Average salary must be based upon all years of formula service~~ 
  4.6   ~~credit if this service credit is less than five years.~~ 
  4.7      (2) This clause, in conjunction with clause (3), applies to 
  4.8   a person who first became a member of the fund or a member of a 
  4.9   pension fund listed in section 356.30, subdivision 3, before 
  4.10  July 1, 1989, unless clause (4), in conjunction with clause (5), 
  4.11  produces a higher annuity amount, in which case clause (4) 
  4.12  applies.  The average salary, as defined in ~~clause (1)~~ section 
  4.13  354.05, subdivision 35e, multiplied by the following percentages 
  4.14  per year of formula service credit ~~shall determine~~, determines 
  4.15  the amount of the annuity to which the member ~~qualifying~~

  4.23  became a member of the fund or a member of a pension fund listed 
  4.24  in section 356.30, subdivision 3, before July 1, 1989, and whose 
  4.25  annuity is higher when calculated under clause (2), in 
  4.26  conjunction with this clause than when calculated under clause 
  4.27  (4), in conjunction with clause (5). 
  4.28     (ii) Where ~~any~~ a member retires ~~prior to~~ before normal 
  4.29  retirement age under a formula annuity, the member ~~shall be paid~~ 
  4.30  is entitled to a retirement annuity in an amount equal to the 
  4.31  normal annuity provided in clause (2) reduced by one-quarter of 
  4.32  one percent for each month that the member is under normal 
  4.33  retirement age at the time of retirement ~~except that~~.  However, 
  4.34  for ~~any~~ a member who has 30 or more years of allowable service 
  4.35  credit, the reduction ~~shall be applied~~ applies only for each 
  4.36  month that the member is under age 62. 
  5.1      (iii) ~~Any~~ A member whose attained age plus credited 
  5.2   allowable service totals 90 years is entitled, upon application, 
  5.3   to a retirement annuity in an amount equal to the normal annuity 
  5.4   provided in clause (2), without any reduction by reason of early 
  5.5   retirement. 
  5.6      (4) This clause applies to a member who has become at least 
  5.7   55 years old and first became a member of the fund after June 
  5.8   30, 1989, and to any other member who has become at least 55 
  5.9   years old and whose annuity amount when calculated under this 
  5.10  clause and in conjunction with clause (5), is higher than it is 
  5.11  when calculated under clause (2), in conjunction with clause (3).
  5.12  The average salary, as defined in ~~clause (1)~~ section 354.05, 
  5.13  subdivision 35e, multiplied by 2.5 percent for each year of 
  5.14  service for a basic member and by 1.5 percent for each year of 
  5.15  service for a coordinated member ~~shall determine~~, determines the 
  5.16  amount of the retirement annuity to which the member is entitled.
  5.17     (5) This clause applies to a person who has become at least 
  5.18  55 years old and first becomes a member of the fund after June 
  5.19  30, 1989, and to any other member who has become at least 55 
  5.20  years old and whose annuity is higher when calculated under 
  5.21  clause (4) in conjunction with this clause than when calculated 
  5.22  under clause (2), in conjunction with clause (3).  ~~An employee~~ A 
  5.23  member who retires under the formula annuity before the normal 
  5.24  retirement age ~~shall be paid~~ is entitled to the normal annuity 
  5.25  provided in clause (4) reduced so that the reduced annuity is 
  5.26  the actuarial equivalent of the annuity that would be payable to 
  5.27  the ~~employee~~ member if the ~~employee~~ person deferred receipt of 
  5.28  the annuity and the annuity amount were augmented at an annual 
  5.29  rate of three percent compounded annually from the day the 
  5.30  annuity begins to accrue until the normal retirement age.

  6.27  dependent. 
  6.28     If the basic member and the surviving spouse are killed in 
  6.29  a common disaster and if the total of all survivors benefits 
  6.30  payable ~~pursuant to~~ under this subdivision is less than the

 10.33  extracurricular teaching activity compensation and the length of 
 10.34  the extracurricular teaching activity management service.  The 
 10.35  extracurricular teaching activity compensation must have been 
 10.36  salary subject to member contributions at the time the service 
 11.1   was rendered.  The documentation must be supplied at least six 
 11.2   months before the teacher's effective date of retirement. 
 11.3      (c) The board of each teachers retirement fund association 
 11.4   shall establish standards for the documentation required to be 
 11.5   provided by a teacher to establish the existence and amount of 
 11.6   any extracurricular activity compensation received before July 
 11.7   1, 1994.  Pre-July 1, 1994, extracurricular activity 
 11.8   compensation is only creditable if contemporaneous member 
 11.9   contributions were made on the extracurricular activity 
 11.10  compensation amount.  The documentation standards may not 
 11.11  unreasonably differentiate between the various types of teaching 
 11.12  personnel engaged in extracurricular activity management. 
 11.13     Sec. 6.  Minnesota Statutes 1994, section 354A.31, 
 11.14  subdivision 4, is amended to read: 
 11.15     Subd. 4.  [COMPUTATION OF THE NORMAL COORDINATED RETIREMENT

 11.17  is an amount equal to a retiring coordinated member's average 
 11.18  salary as defined in section 354A.011, subdivision 7a, 
 11.19  multiplied by the retirement annuity formula 
 11.20  percentage.  ~~Average salary for purposes of this section shall~~ 
 11.21  ~~mean an amount equal to the average salary upon which~~ 
 11.22  ~~contributions were made for the highest five successive years of~~ 
 11.23  ~~service credit, but which shall not in any event include any~~ 
 11.24  ~~more than the equivalent of 60 monthly salary payments.  Average~~ 
 11.25  ~~salary must be based upon all years of service credit if this~~ 
 11.26  ~~service credit is less than five years.~~ 
 11.27     (b) This paragraph, in conjunction with subdivision 6, 
 11.28  applies to a person who first became a member or a member in a 
 11.29  pension fund listed in section 356.30, subdivision 3, before 
 11.30  July 1, 1989, unless paragraph (c), in conjunction with 
 11.31  subdivision 7, produces a higher annuity amount, in which case 
 11.32  paragraph (c) will apply.  The retirement annuity formula 
 11.33  percentage for purposes of this paragraph is one percent per 
 11.34  year for each year of coordinated service for the first ten 
 11.35  years and 1.5 percent for each year of coordinated service 
 11.36  thereafter.  
 12.1      (c) This paragraph applies to a person who has become at 
 12.2   least 55 years old and who first becomes a member after June 30, 
 12.3   1989, and to any other member who has become at least 55 years 
 12.4   old and whose annuity amount, when calculated under this 
 12.5   paragraph and in conjunction with subdivision 7 is higher than 
 12.6   it is when calculated under paragraph (b), in conjunction with 
 12.7   the provisions of subdivision 6.  The retirement annuity formula 
 12.8   percentage for purposes of this paragraph is 1.5 percent for 
 12.9   each year of coordinated service.

 13.16  successive years average salary calculation exceeds the average 
 13.17  annual documented or reported extracurricular activity 
 13.18  compensation member contributions for the period included in the 
 13.19  retiring member's highest five successive years average salary 
 13.20  calculation, plus interest at the annual compound rate of 6.5
