4. a. An eligible officer who is a member of the Public Employees' Retirement System or of a county pension fund created under P.L.1943, c. 160 (C.43:10-18.1 et seq.), or P.L.1948, c. 310 (C.43:10-18.50 et seq.) or article 2 of chapter 10 of Title 43 of the Revised Statutes (R.S.43:10-19 et seq.), hereinafter referred to as a "county pension fund" shall be permitted to transfer his membership in said fund to the Police and Firemen's Retirement System of New Jersey by waiving all rights and benefits which would otherwise be provided by the Public Employees' Retirement System or a county pension fund. Any such officer will likewise be permitted to continue his membership in the Public Employees' Retirement System or a county pension fund by waiving all rights and benefits which would otherwise be provided by the Police and Firemen's Retirement System. Such waivers shall be accomplished by filing forms satisfactory to the board of trustees, which is responsible for the administration of the Police and Firemen's Retirement System, within 90 days of the effective date of this 1975 amendatory and supplementary act. In the absence of the filing of a timely waiver by any eligible officer his pension status shall remain unchanged and his membership shall not be transferred to the Police and Firemen's Retirement System. b. Each new officer who begins employment following the effective date of this 1975 amendatory and supplementary act, shall be required to enroll in the Police and Firemen's Retirement System of New Jersey as a condition of employment, provided he is otherwise eligible for membership by meeting the appointment, age, and health prescriptions required of all members. As of the effective date of this 1975 amendatory and supplementary act, the eligibility of membership for such new officers in the Public Employees' Retirement System or a county pension fund named in paragraph a. above shall be terminated and the membership requirements of such other fund will be deemed satisfied by the enrollment of such employees in the Police and Firemen's Retirement System.
