Public employees convicted of felonies arising from official duties must forfeit accrued retirement benefits from the earliest date of felony commission through conviction date, with remaining benefits protected from forfeiture.

Convicted public employees and prosecuting agencies must notify employers within 60 days of conviction, and employers must notify retirement systems within 90 days; employee contributions from felony commission date forward are returned without interest upon distribution events.

Reversed convictions allow employees to recover forfeited benefits with adjustments, or redeposit contributions with accrued interest to recover full benefits.
