The participating unit shall notify the system and the employees affected of the resolution and, after the effective date, cease to make contributions to the South Dakota Retirement System as required in §§3-12C-401 and 3-12C-403. Any member affected by privatization is entitled to the benefits accrued as of the effective date under the provisions of chapter 3-12C.
