(a) The custodian shall keep a book or record in which any employee member may designate the name of a person to receive return of contributions made by him or her in the event of his or her death prior to commencement of accrual of a retirement allowance in his or her favor. Any such designation may be changed from time to time by an employee member.
Each such designation shall be signed and dated by the employee member, and the last signed and dated designation shall prevail over any former designation. The rights of the last designated severance beneficiary shall be governed by Section 45-37A-51.235.
