"Provided, further, any State employee who was formerly a member of the Law Enforcement Officers' Benefit and Retirement Fund and transferred to nonlaw-enforcement State employment within the same department prior to May 26, 1961, and withdrew his contributions from the Law Enforcement Officers' Benefit and Retirement Fund at a time when the above transfer of contributions and credits was not authorized by statute, and who has been continuously a member of the Teachers' and State Employees' Retirement System since such transfer to nonlaw-enforcement State employment with the same department, may pay to the Teachers' and State Employees' Retirement System in a lump sum the amount of such withdrawn contributions plus interest and, thereupon, shall be entitled to the same membership and prior service credits as if such contributions had never been withdrawn."

Sec. 2.  This act shall become effective upon ratification.
