How often courts cite this section

citing decisions per year

Court decisions citing this, by year. The dip in the last several years is a data-coverage gap, not a real trend — our corpus holds fewer opinions from the most recent years, so recent citations are undercounted.

Sec. 21. (a) Except as provided in subsection (b), this section applies to all units.

(b) This subsection does not apply to the appointment of a fire chief under a waiver under IC 36-8-4-6(c) or the appointment of a police chief under a waiver under IC 36-8-4-6.5(c). An individual may not be employed by a unit after May 31, 1985, as a member of the unit's fire department or as a member of the unit's police department unless the individual meets the conditions for membership in the 1977 fund.

(c) Notwithstanding IC 36-8-1-9, the executive of the unit may request that the 1977 fund accept the following individuals in the 1977 fund under IC 36-8-8-7(h):

(1) A fire chief appointed under a waiver under IC 36-8-4-6(c).
