If a full-time associate juvenile judge or full-time associate probate judge is a member of the Iowa public employees’ retirement system on June 30, 1998, the associate juvenile judge or associate probate judge shall elect, by informing the state court administrator by June 30, 1998, one of the following retirement benefit options to be effective July 1, 1998:
1. To remain a member under the Iowa public employees’ retirement system pursuant to chapter 97B.
2. To commence membership under the judicial retirement system pursuant to article 9, part 1, effective July 1, 1998, but to become an inactive member of the Iowa public employees’ retirement system pursuant to chapter 97B and remain eligible for benefits under sections 97B.49A through 97B.49H, as applicable, for the period of membership service under chapter 97B.
3. To commence membership under the judicial retirement system pursuant to article 9, part 1, retroactive to the date the associate juvenile judge or associate probate judge became an associate juvenile judge or associate probate judge, and to cease to be a member of the Iowa public employees’ retirement system, effective July 1, 1998. The department of personnel shall transmit by January 1, 1999, to the state court administrator for deposit in the judicial retirement fund the associate juvenile judge’s or associate probate judge’s accumulated contributions as defined in section 97B.1A, subsection 2, for the judge’s period of membership service as an associate juvenile judge or associate probate judge.
Before July 1, 2000, or at retirement previous to that date, an associate juvenile judge or associate probate judge who becomes a member of the judicial retirement system pursuant to this subsection shall contribute to the judicial retirement fund an amount equal to the difference between four percent of the associate juvenile judge’s or associate probate judge’s total salary received for the entire period of service before July 1, 1998, as an associate juvenile judge or associate probate judge, and the associate juvenile judge’s or associate probate judge’s accumulated contributions transmitted by the department of personnel to the state court administrator pursuant to this subsection.
The associate juvenile judge’s or associate probate judge’s contribution shall not be limited to the amount specified in section 602.9104, subsection 1. The state court administrator shall credit an associate juvenile judge or associate probate judge with service under the judicial retirement system for the period of service for which contributions at the four percent level are made.
