Any optional retirement program established pursuant to this part shall honor claims under a qualified domestic relations order. For purposes of this section, “qualified domestic relations order” has the same meaning ascribed to it in § 414(p) of the federal Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended; provided, that such order may only relate to the provision of marital property rights for the benefit of the former spouse of the optional retirement program participant.
