Member contributions picked up under the provisions of this subsection shall be treated as local administrative unit contributions for purposes of determining income tax obligations under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986; however, such picked-up member contributions shall be included in the determination of the member's gross annual salary for all other purposes under federal and state laws. Member contributions picked up under this section shall continue to be designated member contributions for all purposes of the Educational Retirement Act and shall be considered as part of the member's annual salary for purposes of determining the amount of the member's contribution. The provisions of this section are voluntary, and the member shall have no option concerning the pick up to receive the contributed amounts directly instead of having them paid by the local administrative unit to the fund. The contribution may be paid through the local administrative unit's payroll deduction. B. Commencing July 1, 1998, the board may accept rollover contributions from other retirement funds solely for and subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 22- 11-17 NMSA 1978 and Subsection B of Section 22-11-34 NMSA 1978 and the applicable restrictions set forth in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 for pension plan qualification.
