§ 53:1-9.

No such person who, at the time of the granting of his said leave of absence, is a

member, in good standing, of any pension retirement or annuity fund, shall suffer

the loss or impairment of any of the rights, benefits or privileges accorded by the

laws governing such retirement pension or annuity funds; provided, however, that

disability, and had continued to receive the same compensation as he received at the

time of his entry into such special duty, and deducting therefrom the amount of any

pension received from the Government of the United States. During the period beginning with the time of the commencement of any such person's

leave of absence and ending at the time of such person's return to active service,

the State shall contribute, or cause to be contributed, to the said pension retirement

or annuity fund, the amount required by the terms of the statute governing such fund,

amount to be paid by the State based upon the amount of compensation received by such

person immediately prior to his entry into such special duty in the said Federal Bureau

of Investigation, and any such person, during his said leave of absence, shall be

required to contribute the amount required by statute to be paid by members of such

fund, based upon the amount of compensation received by such person immediately prior
