The normal rate of contribution shall be the same for all members identified in this subdivision. The contribution rate shall be effective the beginning of the pay period indicated by the Director of Human Resources.

(c) For each local safety member subject to Section 21369, the normal rate of contribution shall be 7 percent of compensation.

(d) The normal rate of contribution as established under this section for a local member whose service is included in the federal system and whose retirement allowance is reduced because of that inclusion shall be reduced by one-third as applied to compensation not exceeding four hundred dollars ($400) per month for service rendered after the date of execution of the modification of the federal-state agreement including those services in the federal system and prior to termination of the member’s coverage under the federal system.

(e) The operative date of this section with respect to a local safety member shall be the date upon which the member becomes subject to Section 21369.
