Any policeman or fireman in service in any county, municipality or political subdivision
thereof prior to the date upon which this act becomes effective in such county, municipality
or political subdivision thereof by referendum may become a member of this retirement
system as of said date by filing with the board of trustees his election in writing
to become such member on or before the date upon which this act becomes effective
in such county, municipality or political subdivision thereof under such rules and
regulations as the board of trustees shall adopt. Each such policeman or fireman so electing to become a member, shall file, immediately
after becoming a member, with the board of trustees a detailed statement of all service
rendered by him as policeman or fireman to his present employer prior to the date
when this act becomes effective in such county, municipality or political subdivision
thereof, for which he claims credit. As soon as practicable thereafter the board of trustees shall verify such statement
and shall issue to him a prior service certificate certifying to the aggregate length
of such service allowable as creditable service but, regardless of the length of such
service, no prior service certificate shall allow more than 30 years of such creditable
service. Such certificate shall be final and conclusive for retirement purposes as to such
service, unless thereafter modified by the board of trustees upon application made
by the member within 1 year, or upon its own initiative within 1 year after the date
of issuance of such prior service certificate.
