BASIC (12-03)

Any retirement system established by one of the named States, a political subdivision of any such State, or an interstate instrumentality may be divided into two parts (two deemed retirement systems) for referendum and coverage purposes. In addition to the choices as to what may constitute a retirement system set out in SL 30001.321, these States have the following choices as to what may constitute a retirement system for referendum purposes:

• the positions of all members of the system who elect coverage (and all new members of the system); and

• the positions of all other employees under the system.
