SECTION 715:10-5-27. Other restrictions on out-of-state service

  Out-of-state service performed after the last year of Oklahoma membership service shall not qualify as out-of-state credit. A member who returns to Oklahoma public education employment after working out-of-state shall purchase that out-of-state service in the same manner as a new member of TRS: i.e., the member must have two (2) years of Oklahoma service after the out-of-state service for each year of out-of-state service purchased. No out-of-state service or salaries shall be utilized for the calculation of a member's final average salary at retirement. No out-of-state service can be used to meet the minimum requirement of five (5) full years of employment in the public schools of Oklahoma to qualify for vesting and retirement benefits.
