"1.16    Section 1. Minnesota Statutes 2015 Supplement, section 353.01, subdivision 16,
1.17is amended to read:
1.18    Subd. 16. Allowable service; limits and computation. (a) "Allowable service"
1.19means:
1.20    (1) service during years of actual membership in the course of which employee
1.21deductions were withheld from salary and contributions were made at the applicable rates
1.22under section 353.27, 353.65, or 353E.03;
1.23(2) periods of service covered by payments in lieu of salary deductions under
1.24sections 353.27, subdivisions 12 and 12a, and 353.35;
1.25    (3) service in years during which the public employee was not a member but for
1.26which the member later elected, while a member, to obtain credit by making payments to
1.27the fund as permitted by any law then in effect;
2.1    (4) a period of authorized leave of absence during which the employee receives pay
2.2as specified in subdivision 10, paragraph (a), clause (4) or (5), from which deductions for
2.3employee contributions are made, deposited, and credited to the fund;
2.4    (5) a period of authorized leave of absence without pay, or with pay that is not
2.5included in the definition of salary under subdivision 10, paragraph (a), clause (4) or
2.6(5), for which salary deductions are not authorized, and for which a member obtained
2.7service credit for up to 12 months of the authorized leave period by payment under section
2.8353.0161 or 353.0162, to the fund made in place of salary deductions;
2.9    (6) a periodic, repetitive leave that is offered to all employees of a governmental
2.10subdivision. The leave program may not exceed 208 hours per annual normal work cycle
2.11as certified to the association by the employer. A participating member obtains service
2.12credit by making employee contributions in an amount or amounts based on the member's
2.13average salary, excluding overtime pay, that would have been paid if the leave had not
2.14been taken. The employer shall pay the employer and additional employer contributions
2.15on behalf of the participating member. The employee and the employer are responsible
2.16to pay interest on their respective shares at the rate of 8.5 percent until June 30, 2015,
2.17and eight percent thereafter, compounded annually, from the end of the normal cycle
2.18until full payment is made. An employer shall also make the employer and additional
2.19employer contributions, plus 8.5 percent interest until June 30, 2015, and eight percent
2.20interest thereafter, compounded annually, on behalf of an employee who makes employee
2.21contributions but terminates public service. The employee contributions must be made
2.22within one year after the end of the annual normal working cycle or within 30 days after
2.23termination of public service, whichever is sooner. The executive director shall prescribe
2.24the manner and forms to be used by a governmental subdivision in administering a
2.25periodic, repetitive leave. Upon payment, the member must be granted allowable service
2.26credit for the purchased period;
2.27    (7) an authorized temporary or seasonal layoff under subdivision 12, limited to three
2.28months allowable service per authorized temporary or seasonal layoff in one calendar year.
2.29An employee who has received the maximum service credit allowed for an authorized
2.30temporary or seasonal layoff must return to public service and must obtain a minimum of
2.31three months of allowable service subsequent to the layoff in order to receive allowable
2.32service for a subsequent authorized temporary or seasonal layoff;
2.33    (8) a period during which a member is absent from employment by a governmental
2.34subdivision by reason of service in the uniformed services, as defined in United States
2.35Code, title 38, section 4303(13), if the member returns to public service with the same
2.36governmental subdivision upon discharge from service in the uniformed service within the
3.1time frames required under United States Code, title 38, section 4312(e), provided that
3.2the member did not separate from uniformed service with a dishonorable or bad conduct
3.3discharge or under other than honorable conditions. The service must be credited if the
3.4member pays into the fund equivalent employee contributions based upon the contribution
3.5rate or rates in effect at the time that the uniformed service was performed multiplied by
3.6the full and fractional years being purchased and applied to the annual salary rate. The
3.7annual salary rate is the average annual salary during the purchase period that the member
3.8would have received if the member had continued to be employed in covered employment
3.9rather than to provide uniformed service, or, if the determination of that rate is not
3.10reasonably certain, the annual salary rate is the member's average salary rate during the
3.1112-month period of covered employment rendered immediately preceding the period of the
3.12uniformed service. Payment of the member equivalent contributions must be made during
3.13a period that begins with the date on which the individual returns to public employment
3.14and that is three times the length of the military leave period, or within five years of the
3.15date of discharge from the military service, whichever is less. If the determined payment
3.16period is less than one year, the contributions required under this clause to receive service
3.17credit may be made within one year of the discharge date. Payment may not be accepted
3.18following 30 days after termination of public service under subdivision 11a. If the member
3.19equivalent contributions provided for in this clause are not paid in full, the member's
3.20allowable service credit must be prorated by multiplying the full and fractional number
3.21of years of uniformed service eligible for purchase by the ratio obtained by dividing
3.22the total member contributions received by the total member contributions otherwise
3.23required under this clause. The equivalent employer contribution, and, if applicable, the
3.24equivalent additional employer contribution must be paid by the governmental subdivision
3.25employing the member if the member makes the equivalent employee contributions. The
3.26employer payments must be made from funds available to the employing unit, using the
3.27employer and additional employer contribution rate or rates in effect at the time that the
3.28uniformed service was performed, applied to the same annual salary rate or rates used to
3.29compute the equivalent member contribution. The governmental subdivision involved
3.30may appropriate money for those payments. The amount of service credit obtainable
3.31under this section may not exceed five years unless a longer purchase period is required
3.32under United States Code, title 38, section 4312. The employing unit shall pay interest
3.33on all equivalent member and employer contribution amounts payable under this clause.
3.34Interest must be computed at the rate of 8.5 percent until June 30, 2015, and eight percent
3.35thereafter, compounded annually, from the end of each fiscal year of the leave or the break
4.1in service to the end of the month in which the payment is received. Upon payment, the
4.2employee must be granted allowable service credit for the purchased period; or
4.3(9) a period specified under section 353.0162.
4.4    (b) No member may receive more than 12 months of allowable service credit in a
4.5year either for vesting purposes or for benefit calculation purposes.
4.6    (c) For an active member who was an active member of the former Minneapolis
4.7Firefighters Relief Association on December 29, 2011, "allowable service" is the period
4.8of service credited by the Minneapolis Firefighters Relief Association as reflected in
4.9the transferred records of the association up to December 30, 2011, and the period
4.10of service credited under paragraph (a), clause (1), after December 30, 2011. For an
4.11active member who was an active member of the former Minneapolis Police Relief
4.12Association on December 29, 2011, "allowable service" is the period of service credited
4.13by the Minneapolis Police Relief Association as reflected in the transferred records of the

4.15(a), clause (1), after December 30, 2011.
