§16-5V-31. How a county commission or political subdivision becomes a participating public employer.
Any county commission or political subdivision employing emergency medical services officers may by a three-fifths vote of its governing body, or by a majority vote of its electors, elect to become a participating public employer and thereby include its emergency medical services officers in the membership of the plan. The clerk or secretary of each such county commission or political subdivision electing to become a participating public employer shall certify the determination of the county commission or political subdivision to the Consolidated Public Retirement Board within ten days from and after the vote of the governing body or the canvass of votes upon such action. Once a county commission or political subdivision elects to participate in the plan, the action is final and it may not, at a later date, elect to terminate its participation in the plan.
