The benefits hereinabove provided shall be payable unless the member would otherwise under the provisions of this chapter be entitled to a greater benefit, in which event, the greater benefit shall be payable. 7. An act of the legislature of the year nineteen hundred sixty-eight which in form, adds or purports to add a new section or subdivision or purports to amend or repeal any section, subdivision or provision of this chapter as in force and effect immediately prior to January first, nineteen hundred sixty-eight, shall be deemed and construed as having been added to this act and shall be given full effect according to its context as if the same had been added expressly and in terms of this act, and shall be deemed and construed to have been inserted in this act in the appropriate position in regard to and as modifying the effect of the corresponding provision or provisions of this act to the end that there will be no diminution or impairment of any of the benefits enacted by such session of the legislature.
