Ga. L. 2010, p. 1207, § 1, not codified by the General Assembly, provides that: ‘‘The intent of this Act is to repeal obsolete and inoperative provisions and to make certain stylistic corrections in Title 47 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated. Nothing in this Act shall deny, abridge, increase, renew, revive, or on any way affect any right, benefit, option, credit, or election to which any person was entitled pursuant to such title on June 30, 2010, and the board of trustees of each public retirement system is authorized and directed to provide by regulation for the continuation of any such right, benefit, option, credit, or election not otherwise covered in this Act; provided, however, that any such right, benefit, option, credit, or election shall be subject to the statutory provisions in effect on June 30, 2010.’’

The 2010 amendment, effective July 1, 2010, deleted the former subsection (a) designation and deleted former subsection (b), which read: ‘‘Any person who became a member of this retirement system pursuant to the operation of Code Section 47-23-40 and who, prior to becoming a member of a predecessor retirement system, was a member of the Employees’ Retirement System of Georgia may elect to transfer his or her membership from this retirement system to the Employees’ Retirement System of Georgia. Any person desiring to transfer membership shall notify the board of this retirement system and the board of trustees of the Employees’ Retirement System of Georgia not later than December 31, 2000. Upon receipt of such notice, the board of trustees of this retirement system shall transfer to the board of trustees of the Employees’ Retirement System of Georgia all employer and employee contributions paid by or on behalf of such member, together with regular interest thereon.’’
