An Act to amend and reenact � 6, as amended, of Chapter 303 of 
the Acts of Assembly of 1944, relating to Fairfax County; policemen's 
retirement system. 

[S 652] 

Approved April 8, 2020 

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. That � 6, as amended, of Chapter 303 of the Acts of 
Assembly of 1944 is amended and reenacted as follows:

� 6. A police officer shall become a member of the policemen's 
retirement system upon the first day he becomes a full full-time 
or part-time employee, provided that the Board first determines that it 
desires to receive a part-time employee into the system. A member shall receive 
service credit for military leave, provided that he returns to 
full-time employment within 90 days of discharge and such discharge is other 
than dishonorable. A member shall receive service credit while on service 
connected service-connected total or partial disability as defined 
in � 8. A member shall not receive service credit while on nonservice 
connected nonservice-connected total or partial disability, as 
defined in � 8. A member shall receive service credit for prior employment as a 
police officer with the county, provided that he shall return his 
contributions previously paid plus interest at the yearly rates earned by the 
system during the period the member's contributions had been withdrawn. The 
Board may, in its discretion, accept a return of a member�s contribution on an 
installment basis on terms and conditions set by the Board. Each member may be

Under such rules and regulations as are adopted by the 
governing body of the county, any person who has been a member of another

becomes a member of the policemen's retirement system may purchase membership 
service credit for service rendered while a member of such other county 
retirement system by paying into the policemen's retirement system all 
contributions that would have been due from the person had the person been a 
member of the policemen's retirement system for each of the years for which 
membership service credit is sought.

A member who has attained the compulsory retirement age of 
sixty 60 and has twenty-five 25 years of service 
credit shall be retired forthwith by the Board; provided, however, that upon 
approval of the Board, members employed prior to the effective date of this 
article who have not attained twenty-five 25 years of service 
credit may continue in service until they attain twenty-five 25 
years of service credit. Any member who has twen
