Can employees covered by the 1977 Fund transfer from being a firefighter to a police officer within the same local unit of government without medical approval?

If a member is transferring from a position as a police officer to a position as a firefighter in the 77 Fund – or vice versa – within the same local unit, he or she may do so without additional medical approval by the INPRS medical authority. However, the local unit must provide a new membership record for his/her new police or fire position in the same local unit.
