| 30 | + | (a) A member of tier II or tier IIA may elect one of the following optional forms for retirement income by filing with the Retirement Commission a written election on a form provided by the commission. A member who has been married at least one year will be presumed to elect the option offered under subdivision (1) of this subsection unless a contrary election is made by the member. All other members will be presumed to elect the option offered under subdivision (4) of this subsection unless a contrary election is made by the member. Any election or change of election must be filed before retirement income payments begin. No option shall be effective until a member has retired, and in the event a member dies prior to the date benefits would have commenced, any election of an option shall be deemed cancelled except as provided in subsection (c) of section 5-192r, as amended by this act. The amount of income that will be paid under the options will be determined by multiplying the retirement income as determined under sections 5-192l to 5-192p, inclusive, as applicable, by the actuarially equivalent option factors last adopted by the Retirement Commission. Such factors shall be identical to those provided under section 5-165 unless the Retirement Commission shall determine otherwise. The factors may be periodically adjusted upward or downward by the Retirement Commission to reflect changing interest, mortality, or election of option patterns, provided that they shall be reviewed and adjusted by January 1, 1985. Any such changes shall apply only to members whose benefits commence after the effective date of adoption of such factors. The retirement options are as follows: (1) A reduced amount payable to the member for his lifetime, with the provision that after his death his spouse, if surviving, shall be entitled to receive a lifetime income equal to fifty per cent of the reduced monthly amount payable to the member; (2) a reduced amount payable to the member for his lifetime, with the provision that after his death, his contingent annuitant shall be entitled to receive a lifetime income equal to either fifty or one hundred per cent of the reduced amount payable to the member; (3) a reduced amount payable to the member for his lifetime, with the provision that if he shall die within either a ten or twenty-year period following the date his retirement income commences, whichever is selected by the member, the reduced amount continues to his contingent annuitant for the balance of the ten or twenty-year period, respectively; or (4) an amount payable to the member for his lifetime, with no payments continuing after the member's death. |

| 15 | | - | (c) The Commissioner of Emergency Services and Public Protection shall exercise such supervision and direction over any resident policeman so appointed as said commissioner deems necessary, and each appointee shall be required to conform to the requirements of chapter 67. Each resident state policeman shall have the same powers as officers of the regular state police force and be entitled to the same rights and subject to the same rules and regulations as the Division of State Police within the Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection. |

| 36 | + | (a) If a member of tier II or tier IIA who is continuing to earn vesting service or who is on a leave authorized by the state or otherwise granted pursuant to the terms of the appropriate collective bargaining agreement, dies after either (1) completion of the age and service requirements for retirement under section 5-192l, 5-192m or 5-192n, or (2) completion of twenty-five years of vesting service, his spouse, provided they have been lawfully married for at least the twelve months preceding his death, shall receive a lifetime income in an amount equal to [fifty] one hundred per cent of the retirement income that the member would have been entitled to if he had retired the day he died, and had his benefit been paid under the option specified in subdivision [(1)] (2) of subsection (a) of section 5-192q, as amended by this act. If such member was not eligible to retire at the time of his death, such benefit shall be calculated as if he had reached age fifty-five, but based on his credited service and final average earnings at his date of death. The first payment shall be made as of the first day of the month coincident with or, otherwise, next following his date of death. |

| 38 | + | (b) If a member who has either terminated with at least twenty-five years of service or retired pursuant to section 5-192l, 5-192m or 5-192n, but whose benefits in either event are being deferred, dies prior to the commencement date of his benefits, his spouse, provided they have been lawfully married for at least the twelve months preceding his death, shall receive a lifetime income equal to [fifty] one hundred per cent of the retirement income that the member would have been entitled to if his benefits had commenced the day he died, with such benefits being paid under the option specified in subdivision [(1)] (2) of subsection (a) of section 5-192q, as amended by this act. If such member had not reached age fifty-five at the date of his death, such benefit shall be calculated as if he had reached age fifty-five. The first payment shall be made as of the first day of the month coincident with or, otherwise, next following his date of death. |

| 40 | + | (c) If a member who has completed the age and service requirements for retirement under section 5-192l, 5-192m or 5-192n and who has elected to receive his retirement benefits under subdivision (2) or (3) of subsection (a) of section 5-192q, as amended by this act, dies prior to the effective date of commencement of benefits but within ninety days after he first elects to receive his retirement benefits under either of said subdivisions, then his beneficiary or contingent annuitant shall receive an income in an amount equal to the benefit that would have been payable to the survivor had the member retired the day he died and had his benefit been paid under the option he had elected at the time of his death. This subsection shall not apply after ninety days after the date the member first elects to receive his benefit under either of said subdivisions. In the event that income payments to a surviving beneficiary or contingent annuitant are payable under this subsection, such payments shall be in lieu of payments under subsections (a) and (b) of this section. |
