who shall be appointed to sit on any of the several courts who wishes to receive credit

for previous service rendered in office, position or employment of this State or of

a county, municipality, board of education, or public agency of this State, shall

file an application therefor with the State House Commission and pay into the annuity

savings fund the amount required by applying the factor, supplied by the actuary,

case of retirement pursuant to sections 9, 10 or 11 of P.L.1973, c. 140 1 or sections 5 or 6 of P.L.1973, c. 304 2 the total membership credit for such service shall be in direct proportion as the

amount paid bears to the total amount of arrearage obligation. b. The State shall pay to the retirement system the employer's accrued liability obligation

on behalf of such person purchasing prior service credit. 1
