1. All persons who become police officers or fire fighters after the date the city is required
to come under the retirement system, shall become members of the retirement system as
a condition of their employment, except that a police chief or a fire chief who would not
complete twenty-two years of service under this chapter by the time the chief attains fifty-five
years of age shall, upon written request to the system, be exempt from this chapter, and
except as otherwise provided in subsection 3. Notwithstanding section 97B.1A, a police chief
or fire chief who is exempt from this chapter is exempt from chapter 97B. Members of the

pension or retirement system of a city, county, or the state of Iowa, anything to the contrary
notwithstanding.
2. Should any member cease to be employed as a police officer or fire fighter by a city, or
should the member become a beneficiary or die, the member shall thereupon cease to be a
member of the system.
3. a. As used in this section, unless the context otherwise requires, “reemployed” or
“reemployment” means the employment of a person as a police officer or fire fighter by any
participating city after the person has commenced receiving a service retirement allowance
under section 411.6.
b. If a person is reemployed, the person shall not become an active member of the system
upon reemployment, and the person so reemployed and the participating city shall not make
contributions to the system based upon the person’s compensation for reemployment. A
person who is so reemployed shall not be eligible to receive a service retirement allowance
for the period of reemployment. The service retirement allowance shall be reinstated
upon termination of the reemployment, but the service retirement allowance shall not be
recalculated based upon the person’s reemployment. Notwithstanding section 97B.1A or any
other provision of law to the contrary, a person reemployed as provided in this subsection
shall be exempt from chapter 97B.
