423B.03 LEAVE OF ABSENCE; CONTINUATION OF MEMBERSHIP.
    Subdivision 1. Leave of absence. A member of the police department who is an active
member of the police relief association of the city of Minneapolis and who after January 1, 1969,
is elected to a public office of the city may apply for and must be granted a leave of absence from
the police department during the time the person is an incumbent of the elective public office
of the city.
    Subd. 2. Continuation of membership. Upon obtaining a leave of absence provided in
subdivision 1, a member with ten or more years of service in the police department and the police
relief association has the option to continue active membership in the police relief association of
the city of Minneapolis. This option applies to future service as well as past service. The member
desiring to exercise this option must make application to the governing body of the association,
must designate the period of service for which the person desires coverage, and must pay the
employee contribution to the police relief association to the same extent that the member would
have paid had the person been on active duty with the police department during that period.
    Subd. 3. No simultaneous coverage. A payment into the pension fund as provided in
subdivision 2 may not be made or accepted and pension credit may not be allowed for any period
of time for which the member pays into or earns pension credit from any other Minnesota pension
plan for public employees.
    Subd. 4. Waiver of other rights. A qualified member who exercises the option provided
in subdivision 2 and is at that time a contributing member of another retirement fund or relief
association by whatever name known, organized under any other law, and supported in whole
or in part by the taxes on the same city, shall waive all benefits from the other retirement fund
or relief association, for concurrent time, and shall be entitled to receive a refund of the net
accumulated contributions made by the member to the other retirement fund or relief association,
with interest, regardless of the provision of any law, rule, bylaw, or other action permitting or
requiring membership in the other retirement fund or relief association, however organized.
