NRS218C.450. Minimum requirement for retirement; effect of lapse in service; reduction in benefits for early retirement.

      1.  The minimum requirement for retirement is 10 years of accredited service. A lapse in service as a Legislator does not operate to forfeit any retirement rights accrued before the lapse.

      2.  A Legislator who meets this requirement may retire:

      (a) At the age of 60 years or older with a full allowance.

      (b) At any age less than 60 years with an allowance or benefit actuarially reduced to the age of 60 years. Except as otherwise required as a result of NRS 218C.340, an allowance or benefit under this paragraph must be reduced by 6 percent of the unmodified amount for each full year that the member is under the age of 60 years, and an additional 0.5 percent for each additional month that the member is under the age of 60 years. Any option selected must be reduced by an amount proportionate to the reduction provided in this subsection for the unmodified allowance or benefit. The Board may adjust the actuarial reduction based upon an experience study of the System and recommendation by the actuary.
