(a) Except as provided in subdivision (d), this section may be made applicable in any county which has implemented the provisions of Article 15.6 (commencing with Section 31855).

The resolution may specify a date subsequent to the date of adoption of the resolution as the operative date for this section.

(b)

(1) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this chapter, the current service pension or the current service pension combined with the prior service pension is an additional pension for members purchased by the contributions of the county or district sufficient, when added to the service retirement annuity, to equal the fraction of one-fiftieth of the member's final compensation set forth opposite the age at retirement, taken to the preceding completed quarter year, in the following table multiplied by the number of years of current service or years of current and prior service with which the member is entitled to be credited at retirement, but in no event shall the total retirement allowance exceed the member's final compensation.
