353.5. Before a municipal police force may be abolished, a municipality or an intermunicipal board must ensure that the body that administers a pension plan, other than a defined contribution plan, of which a person referred to in section 353.3 or 353.7 is a member has entered into, with the Commission administrative des régimes de retraite et d’assurances, a general agreement for the transfer of the person’s rights under the plan to the Pension Plan of the members of the Sûreté du Québec, the Government and Public Employees Retirement Plan or another pension plan applicable to employees of the State. The Commission may enter into such an agreement with the authorization of the Government.
The conditions set out in such an agreement apply to the group constituted by the persons who are referred to in the first paragraph and who come under the same employer, subject to their individual right to opt for another plan in accordance with section 98 of the Supplemental Pension Plans Act (chapter R-15.1).
