Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:
SECTION 1. Section 9-8-50(4) of the 1976 Code is amended to read:
"(4) Any A member upon termination who does not qualify for a monthly benefit may elect to transfer his service credit to the South Carolina Retirement System or other applicable system. Upon such election, the director must shall transfer to the receiving system the required employee and employer contributions. A member is vested after twelve ten years of service in the position as judge or eight years of service in the position of solicitor, and if he terminates services service and leaves his contributions on deposit with the system, he is eligible for a monthly benefit beginning at age fifty-five which is a pro rata proportion his total credited service is to the benefit payable with twenty-four years of service credit."
SECTION 2. This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
