Employees' Retirement System, has been or may hereafter
be appointed or elected to any State office for a fixed term
and not be re-appointed or re-elected, after the completion of
twenty-five years of creditable service, regardless of age, such
member may elect, in lieu of the withdrawal of his accumulated
contributions, to have such contributions paid to him in an
annuity of equivalent actuarial value, in which event he shall
also be paid a pension equal to the ordinary disability pen-
sion that would have been payable at such time had he been
retired on an ordinary disability retirement. The Board of
Trustees shall include any additional amount required to
pay such pension in the amount certified to the Governor
as required by Section 10(6) of this Article. Should such
beneficiary be appointed or elected to any office, the salary
or compensation of which is paid by the State, his retirement
allowance shall cease, and he may again become a member
of the Retirement System and shall contribute thereafter at
the same rate he paid prior to his retirement. Any prior
service certificate on the basis of which his service was com-
puted at the time of his retirement shall be restored to full
force and effect, and in addition upon his subsequent retire-
ment he shall be credited with all his service as a member,
provided his pension upon such subsequent retirement shall
not exceed the pension he was receiving prior to restoration
plus such pension as may have accrued on account of his
membership service after restoration. The payment of all
such pensions and the continued payment of such pensions
shall be contingent on the payment annually by the State of
Maryland of the additional amount so required to meet the
current disbursements of such pensions.
