Upon  the   conversion  of a service award program, the program shall be governed by   the provisions of article eleven-AAA of this chapter as if  the  program   was  originally  adopted  pursuant to such article eleven-AAA, provided,   that (1) conversion of a service award  program  shall  not  affect  the   number  of  years  of  ambulance service earned by a volunteer ambulance   worker or a participant's status as having a nonforfeitable right  to  a   service  award or the amount of a service award paid in whole or in part   prior to the conversion, and (2) upon  conversion  of  a  service  award   program  adopted  pursuant  to this article which provides contributions   for years of ambulance service rendered by a participant during the five   calendar years immediately preceding the year in which  the  program  is   adopted,  if  the  converted  program  provides  for credit for years of   ambulance service rendered by a participant  during  the  five  calendar   years immediately preceding the year in which the program is adopted, if   the converted program provides for credit for years of ambulance service   rendered  during  the  five  calendar  years  immediately  preceding the   adoption of the program, such five year period shall  be  measured  from   the  date  of  adoption  of  the  program  pursuant to this article. The   comptroller may  promulgate  rules  and  regulations  relating  to  such   conversions including, but not limited to, the disposition of assets and   the  time  and manner of making any additional payments required to fund   benefits attributable to years of ambulance service earned prior to  the   conversion over a period not to exceed five years.
