§ 2049-gg. Transfer of officers and employees. Any officer or employee

of the counties or any other municipality within the area of operation,

under civil service, who is selected by the authority may, with the

consent of the chief executive officer of the legislative body of the

employing county or municipality, be transferred to the authority and

shall be eligible for such transfer and appointment, without

examination, to applicable offices, positions and employment under the

authority. The salary or compensation of any such officer or employee,

after such transfer, shall be paid by the authority. Any such officers

or employees so transferred to the authority pursuant to this section

who are members of or benefit under any existing pension or retirement

fund or system shall continue to have all rights, privileges,

obligations and status with respect to such fund or system as are now

prescribed by law, but, during the period of their employment by the

authority, all contributions to such fund or system to be paid by the

employer on account of such officers or employees shall be paid by the

authority. All such officers or employees so transferred to the

authority who have been appointed to positions under the rules and

classifications of the personnel officer of the county or other

employing municipality shall have the same status with respect thereto

after transfer to the authority as they had under their original

appointment.
