Whenever any person becomes entitled to receive a pension from the Firemen's Pension Fund and has been admitted to participate therein, he or she shall not thereafter be deprived of his or her right to participate therein upon the basis upon which he or she first became entitled thereto, except for one or more of the following causes: Conviction of a felony or misdemeanor; becoming an habitual drunkard; becoming a nonresident of the State; or failing to comply with some general regulation relating to the management of the Fund which may be made by the Board of Managers and which may provide that a failure to comply therewith shall terminate the right to participate in the Fund. A pension shall be terminated only after such due notice and hearing as are prescribed by regulation of the Board. If any retired member of the Department of Fire, after retirement, engages in employment for compensation, his or her pension from the Fund shall be reduced to such an amount that when added to the compensation he or she receives for employment, it shall equal the compensation he or she was receiving as a member of the Department at the time of his or her retirement. At any time when such other employment for compensation ceases, his or her pension shall be fully restored.
