§ 158. Pension contributions returned. 1. Any public official whose
pension is reduced or revoked pursuant to this article shall be entitled
to a return of his or her contribution paid into the relevant retirement
system, without interest.
2. Notwithstanding the provisions of subdivision one of this section,
no payments in return of contributions shall be made or ordered unless
and until the supreme court determines that the public official whose
pension has been reduced or revoked has satisfied in full any judgments
or orders rendered by any court of competent jurisdiction for the
payment of restitution to the state or a municipality for losses
incurred as a result of such crime related to public office. If the
supreme court determines that such public official whose pension is to
be reduced or revoked has failed to satisfy any outstanding judgment or
order of restitution rendered by a court of competent jurisdiction, it
may order that any funds otherwise due to such public official as a
return of contribution, or any portion thereof, be paid in satisfaction
of such judgment or order.
