Any member in the uniformed personnel in institutions under the jurisdiction of the department of corrections and community supervision, as hereinafter defined, who entered such service prior to the effective date of this section may, on or before September first, nineteen hundred sixty-six, elect to come under the provisions of this section. Such election shall be in writing and shall be duly executed and filed with the comptroller. c. Any member in the uniformed personnel in institutions under the jurisdiction of the department of corrections and community supervision, as hereinafter defined, who entered such service prior to the effective date of this section, may, on or before December thirty-first, nineteen hundred sixty-six, elect to come under the provisions of this section. Such election shall be in writing and shall be duly executed and filed with the comptroller. Any such member who has made an election as set forth herein on or before December thirty-first, nineteen hundred sixty-five, shall be permitted to withdraw the same and in like manner make a new election on or before December thirty-first, nineteen hundred sixty-six. d. A member who elects or is required to contribute in accordance with this section shall contribute, in lieu of the proportion of compensation as provided in section twenty-one of this article, a proportion of his or her compensation similarly determined. Such latter proportion shall be computed to provide at the time when he or she shall first become eligible for retirement under this section, an annuity equal to one-one hundredth of his or her final average salary for each year of service as a member rendered after May first, nineteen hundred sixty-five, and prior to the attainment of the age when he or she shall first become eligible for retirement. Such member's rate of contribution pursuant to this section shall be appropriately reduced pursuant to section seventy-a of this article for such period of time as his or her employer contributes pursuant to such section toward pensions-providing-for-increased-take-home pay. No such member shall be required to continue contributions after completing twenty-five years of such service. e. A member contributing on the basis of this section at the time of retirement, shall be entitled to retire after the completion of twenty-five years of total creditable service as defined in subdivision i of this section, or upon the attainment of age sixty, by filing an application therefor in a manner similar to that provided in section seventy of this article. He or she thereupon shall receive, on retirement a retirement allowance consisting of: 1. An annuity, which shall be the actuarial equivalent of his or her accumulated contributions at the time of his or her retirement, plus, 2. A pension which, together with such annuity and a pension which is the actuarial equivalent of the reserves for-increased-take-home pay to which he or she may then be entitled, if any, shall equal one-fiftieth of his or her final average salary for each year of creditable service in the uniformed personnel in institutions under the jurisdiction of the department of corrections and community supervision or for each year of creditable service as a security hospital treatment assistant under the jurisdiction of the office of mental health, as hereinafter defined. This pension shall not exceed the amount needed to make the total amount of the benefits provided under paragraphs one and two of this subdivision e equal to one-half of his or her final average salary. 3. An additional pension equal to the pension for any creditable service rendered while not in the uniformed personnel in institutions under the jurisdiction of the department of corrections and community supervision and rendered while not serving as a security hospital treatment assistant under the jurisdiction of the office of mental health, as hereinafter defined, as provided under paragraphs two and three of subdivision a of section seventy-five of this article. This pension shall:

(a) Be payable only if such member has attained age sixty at the time of retirement and has not completed twenty-five years of service for which he receives credits under this article, and

(b) Not increase the total allowance to more than one-half of his or her final average salary. For the purpose only of determining the amount of the pension provided herein, the annuity shall be computed as it would be:

(aa) if not reduced by the actuarial equivalent of any outstanding loan, and

(bb) if not increased by the actuarial equivalent of any additional contributions, and

(cc) if not reduced by reason of the member's election to decrease his or her annuity contributions to the retirement system in order to apply the amount of such reduction in payment of his contributions for old-age and survivors insurance coverage. f. The increased pensions to members of the uniformed personnel in institutions under the jurisdiction of the department of corrections and community supervision or to members who are security hospital treatment assistants under the jurisdiction of the office of mental health, as provided by this section, shall be paid from additional contributions made by the state on account of such member. The actuary of the retirement system shall compute the additional contribution of each member who elects to receive the special benefits provided under this section. Such additional contributions shall be computed on the basis of contributions during the prospective service of such member which will cover the liability of the retirement system for such extra pensions. g. In computing the twenty-five years of completed service of a member in the uniformed personnel in institutions under the jurisdiction of the department of corrections and community supervision or of a member who is a security hospital treatment assistant under the jurisdiction of the office of mental health, as hereinafter defined, full credit shall be given and full allowance shall be made for service of such member in war after world war 1 as defined in section two of this chapter, provided such member at the time of his or her entrance into the armed forces was in state service. h.
