A BILL

TO AMEND SECTION 9-1-1140, AS AMENDED, CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, RELATING TO ESTABLISHING SERVICE CREDIT IN THE SOUTH CAROLINA RETIREMENT SYSTEM FOR MATERNITY LEAVE, SO AS TO DELETE THE REQUIREMENT THAT TO BE ELIGIBLE TO ESTABLISH SUCH CREDIT AN EMPLOYEE MUST NOT BE ABSENT FROM WORK FOR A PERIOD GREATER THAN TWO YEARS FOR EACH PREGNANCY.

Amend Title To Conform

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:

SECTION 1. The second unnumbered paragraph of Section 9-1-1140 of the 1976 Code, as last amended by Act 420 of 1994 is further amended to read:

"A period of time up to one year for each pregnancy not to exceed a total of three years service credit may be established for maternity leave provided the member pays the full actuarial cost as determined by the board. However, the payment must not be less than twelve percent of the annual salary at the time of purchase or the average of the three highest consecutive fiscal years of salary at the time of purchase, whichever is greater, for a year of credit prorated for periods less than a year. To be eligible for maternity leave credit an employee must not be absent from work for a period greater than two years for each pregnancy a member must have left covered employment to go on maternity leave."

SECTION 2. This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
