43:2-2.  Entry into other system or fund;  credits and contributions
    When a member of any such retirement system or pension fund of this state changes his office or employment or is transferred in such manner as to require  his withdrawal from any such retirement system or pension fund, and the change  or transfer is to an office or position which entitles him to become a member  of another retirement system or pension fund, he shall notify the  administrative head of the retirement system of which he is a member, prior to  or at the time of his withdrawal therefrom, of his intention to enter the other  retirement system or pension fund.  Upon his entry into the other system or  fund he shall be admitted with the credit for prior service to which he was  entitled in the system or fund from which he shall have withdrawn and he shall  be permitted to deposit in the second retirement system or pension fund the  total amount of his contributions so withdrawn from the first retirement  system, and the board or administrative head of the first retirement system may  transfer to the second retirement system or fund the funds or credit to which  the withdrawing member was entitled.  He shall, thereupon, as a member of the  second retirement system, be entitled to such credit in the way of pension and  annuity as is provided by law in the second retirement system or fund, with the  prior service credit to which he was originally entitled in the first  retirement system.
