fixed or indefinite term and not be continued in office, re-appointed
or re-elected, after the completion of twenty years of creditable
service, regardless of age, such member may elect, in lieu of the
withdrawal of his accumulated contributions, to have such contribu-
tions 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 pension that would have been payable at such time had he
been retired on an ordinary disability retirement; and if any per-
son, while being a member of said retirement system, shall vacate
his position by reason of the termination of his tenure by Act of
the General Assembly after said person has twenty years of credit-
able service, regardless of age, he may elect to receive the allowance
for service retirement in lieu of the withdrawal of his accumulated
contributions. 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 com-
pensation 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 computed at the time of his retirement
shall be restored to full force and effect, and in addition upon his
subsequent retirement 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 pay-
ment annually by the State of Maryland of the additional amount
so required to meet the current disbursements of such pensions.
