B.(1) If the retired member, who is otherwise eligible, becomes permanently employed by an employer participating in this plan, the retired member and the employer shall immediately notify the board of the retiree's date of employment, the amount of his monthly salary, any changes in salary, number of hours employed per week, estimated duration of employment, and date of termination of employment. However, this Section shall not apply to retirees who are elected to office and are prohibited from joining this system under Article X, Section 29.1(A) of the Constitution of Louisiana.
(2) At the time the retired member returns to permanent employment, the benefit of the retiree shall be suspended and he shall be considered as returning to active service and employee and employer contributions shall resume.
C. Upon subsequent termination of employment of a retired contributing member, the retired contributing member shall begin receiving his original retirement benefit and shall receive an additional benefit based on his additional service and the compensation earned during the period of additional service.
D. Notwithstanding the provisions of R.S. 11:1902(12)(a) or 1921(A)(3), if a retired member of the system is subsequently elected to an office covered by the system, sixty days after taking the oath of office his monthly retirement benefit shall be reduced by the amount of his monthly earnings.
