Retirement; active participating judges, clerks, and district attorneys allowed to purchase withdrawn service from District Attorneys Plan and Judges' and Clerks' Plan
Read for the Second Time and placed on the Calendar (Ways and Means General Fund)
Summary
The bill lets current members of Alabama’s District Attorneys’ Plan and Judges’ and Clerks’ Plan restore service credit they previously withdrew or lost after a five‑year absence. To do so, they must work two more years, repay the withdrawn amount with 8% annual interest, and cannot double‑count credit already held in another public retirement system. It also permits members who joined within a year of leaving the Employees’ or Teachers’ Retirement Systems to transfer that service into the judicial or DA plans.
