(b) Members on the effective date who are former employees of the amending agency and whose service for the amending agency was subject to Section 21366 or Section 21369, shall retain their rights under the formula in effect at the time their service was credited.

(c) Former members who upon reentry into state service elect to redeposit contributions, shall be subject to Section 21363, 21369, or 21370, as applicable, with respect to all safety service performed for the amending agency prior to the effective date of the contract amendment.

(d) Notwithstanding Section 21357, a former member who reinstates to the amending agency as a local safety member shall elect within 90 days of the reinstatement whether to be subject to Section 21363, 21369, or 21370, as applicable, or Section 21366 with respect to all service with that contracting agency prior to the effective date of the contract amendment.
