MEDICAL EXAMINATION OF DISABILITY RETIREE.
Text — Current through the 89th 2nd Called Legislative Session, 2025
(a) Once each year during the first five years after a member retires for disability, and once in each three-year period after that, the retirement system may require a disability retiree to undergo a medical examination.
(b) An examination under this section may be held at the retiree's residence or at any place mutually agreed to by the retirement system and the retiree. The retirement system may designate a physician to perform the examination. The retiree shall pay the expense of the examination.
(c) If a disability retiree refuses to submit to a medical examination as provided by this section, the executive director shall discontinue the retiree's annuity payments until the retiree submits to an examination. If a retiree has not submitted to an examination as provided by this section before the first anniversary of the date of first refusal, the executive director shall revoke all rights of the retiree to an annuity.
(d) If the medical board finds that a disability retiree is no longer mentally or physically incapacitated for the performance of duty, it shall certify its findings and submit them to the executive director. If the executive director concurs in this certification, the annuity terminates and membership is restored as provided by Section 814.210.
