Approved March 31, 1952

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

§ 1. On and after July one, nineteen hundred fifty-two the amount
of the retirement allowance otherwise payable to (1) any former teachers
who were retired under the provisions of Chapter 36 of the Code of 1919
as it existed immediately prior to July one, nineteen hundred forty-two
or (2) any teachers and State employees retired since June thirty, nineteen
hundred forty-two under the provisions of the repealed Virginia Retire-
ment Act with thirty or more years of service in case of service retire-
ment or twenty or more years of service in case of disability retirement,
provided, in the case of such service retirement such teacher or State
employee has attained sixty-five years of age by July one, nineteen hundred
fifty-two, shall be entitled to and shall receive a retirement allowance in an
amount, which, when added to the annual retirement allowance otherwise
payable, shall not be less than seven hundred twenty dollars per annum;
provided, however, that this provision shall not apply to increase any re-
tirement allowance of any retired teacher or State employee receiving a
retirement allowance which would have amounted to seven hundred
twenty dollars per annum if a reduced allowance had not been elected
under one of the options under the repealed Virginia Retirement Act, nor
shall this provision apply to increase the annual retirement allowance of
any beneficiary who is receiving or who may receive a retirement allowance
as a beneficiary under one of the options elected under the repealed
Virginia Retirement Act.
