§  44.  Certain  local pension system credit for compensation received   for constitutional convention service.  a. Notwithstanding  anything  to   the  contrary  contained  in  this chapter or any other general or local   law, charter or code, any  person  who  while  a  delegate,  officer  or   employee  of  the convention to revise and amend the constitution of the   state in the year nineteen hundred sixty-seven was also a  member  of  a   local pension system shall be entitled to elect to have the total salary   or  wages paid to such delegate, officer or employee for such convention   service cumulatively added to the salary or wages otherwise credited  to   such  person  for such calendar year in the local pension system for all   purposes. Such election shall be made  in  writing  to  this  retirement   system  and  such local system on or before July first, nineteen hundred   seventy.b. Upon such election, the actuary of the state employee's  retirement   system  shall determine the total value of all reserves to the credit of   such member in the state employees' retirement system  as  a  result  of   contributions  made  by  the  state  and  his contributions to the state   employees' retirement  system  for  such  service,  if  any,  and  shall   transfer  the  total  amount  thereof to the local pension system in the   manner provided by section forty-three  of  the  retirement  and  social   security law.c.  After  such deposit and transfer, the actuary of the local pension   system shall determine the total amount which would have  been  required   to  be  paid  into  the appropriate funds of the local pension system by   both the member and the municipality had such service been  rendered  to   the  municipality.  From  such  total amount there shall be deducted the   total amount of contribution and reserves  transferred  as  provided  in   subdivision  b of this section. Any deficiency in the result so obtained   shall be paid by the member into the appropriate account  and  funds  in   the local pension system.d.  Thereafter,  and upon payment of any additional contributions that   may be required by subdivision c of this section, such member  shall  be   entitled  to  all the rights, privileges, immunities, benefits, refunds,   increases,   advances,   insurance,   pension,   annuities,   retirement   allowances,  death benefits and options for such service under the local   pension system in the same manner and to the  same  extent  as  if  such   service had been creditable under such local pension system. Such member   who  at  the time of such service as a delegate was a member of both the   state employees' retirement system and of a local pension system and who   later transferred, pursuant to section forty-three of this  chapter  the   total amount of his contributions and reserves from the state employees'   retirement  system  to  such  local system, shall in computing his final   average salary in such local system be entitled to credit for  the  year   nineteen  hundred  and  sixty-seven  for his total compensation received   from the state,  from  the  convention  and  from  his  local  employer.   Provided,  however,  that  service as such delegate, officer or employee   shall not be used in computing the member's length of  service  for  the   purpose of determining the amount of his retirement allowance.e.  The  provisions  of  this section shall be available only to those   members of a local pension system whose eligibility  for  retirement  is   based  upon  attainment  of  a specified age, or thirty or more years of   service.f. The provision of this section shall be controlling, notwithstanding   any provision of this chapter or any general, special, local law or city   or village charter code, ordinance, resolution, rule  or  regulation  to   the contrary.
