the state of Connecticut and is not the subject of

any pending disciplinary investigation may submit

a written request on a form approved by the Office

of the Chief Court Administrator to the statewide

bar counsel for permanent retirement under this

section. Upon receipt of the request, the statewide

bar counsel shall review it and, if it is found that

the attorney is eligible for retirement under this

attorney shall no longer be eligible to practice

law as an attorney admitted in the state of Connecticut.

fund fee set forth in Section 2-70 (a).

(c) An attorney who has retired pursuant to this

section and thereafter wishes to be eligible to

practice law again in the state of Connecticut must

apply for admission to the bar pursuant to Section

2-8, 2-13 or 2-13A.

(d) Retirement pursuant to this section shall not

be a bar to the initiation, investigation and pursuit

of disciplinary complaints filed on or subsequent

to the date of retirement.
