# O.C.G.A. § 47-2-164. Membership of employees of the General Assembly; contributions.

(a) Anything in this chapter to the contrary notwithstanding, any employee of the General Assembly who is in a position which normally requires actual performance of duties during the full 12 months of the calendar year, as reflected by the state auditor’s report, shall, as a condition of his employment, become a member of the retirement system. Any contributing member who, without a break in service, becomes an employee of the General Assembly shall continue his membership during such employment.

(b) Contributions from employees of the General Assembly shall be deducted by the legislative fiscal officer and remitted to the board of trustees, together with required employer contributions. The legislative fiscal officer is authorized and directed to pay the employer contribution from the funds appropriated for the operation of the General Assembly.

(c) This Code section shall become effective on February 13, 1956, so as to apply to the 1956 regular term and all subsequent terms of the General Assembly.
