Sec. CCC-1. 5 MRSA §17851, sub-§11, as amended by PL 1999, c. 493, §1, is further amended to read:
11. Maine State Prison employees. Except as provided in section 17851-A, the warden or deputy warden of the Maine State Prison, any officer or employee of the Maine State Prison employed as a guard or in the management of prisoners or any person employed as the supervising officer of those officers or employees or as an advocate at the Maine State Prison qualifies for a service retirement benefit if that person:
A. Was employed in one of those capacities before September 1, 1984 and:
(1) Completes 20 years of creditable service in one or more of those capacities; and
(2) Retires upon or after reaching the age of 50 years; or
B. Was employed in one of those capacities after August 31, 1984 and before January 1, 2000 and completed 25 years of creditable service in one or more of those capacities.
Notwithstanding any other provision in this section, no person in the employ of the Bangor Pre-Release Center on August 4, 1988 who would have qualified for a service retirement benefit if the Bangor Pre-Release Center had remained the administrative responsibility of the Maine State Prison may be denied such a benefit by virtue of the transfer of that responsibility to the Charleston Correctional Facility.
A person in the employ of the Bangor Pre-Release Center to whom paragraph A applies and who is employed at the Bangor Pre-Release Center on June 30, 2000 remains covered under paragraph A notwithstanding the closing of the Bangor Pre-Release Center if the person is thereafter and without a break in service employed in a capacity to which this subsection or section 17851-A, subsection 1, paragraph I applies or if not thereafter employed in such a capacity but having qualified at the time of the closing of the Bangor Pre-Release Center for retirement under paragraph A, retires then or at a later time.
