   A. For purposes of this section, "gunsmiths" means commissioned
   officers of the Gunsmith/Ammunition Reloader Division of the
   Department of Public Safety employed on July 1, 1994, who, pursuant to
   the provisions of this act, transfer membership from the Oklahoma
   Public Employees Retirement System to the Oklahoma Law Enforcement
   Retirement System.
   
   B. Gunsmiths are hereby transferred from the Oklahoma Public Employees
   Retirement System to the Oklahoma Law Enforcement Retirement System
   subject to the following:
   
   1. Effective July 1, 1994, gunsmiths who are members of the Oklahoma
   Public Employees Retirement System shall cease accruing benefits in
   the Oklahoma Public Employees Retirement System and shall commence
   accruing benefits in the Oklahoma Law Enforcement Retirement System;
   
   2. Before January 1, 1995, the Oklahoma Public Employees Retirement
   System shall transfer to the Oklahoma Law Enforcement Retirement
   System the actual amount contributed to the Oklahoma Public Employees
   Retirement System from time to time by the gunsmiths while members of
   the Oklahoma Public Employees Retirement System and the contributions
   by the participating employer or employers on behalf of each gunsmith
   to the Oklahoma Law Enforcement Retirement System along with the
   retirement records of said transferring gunsmiths;
   
   3. Service credit accrued by a gunsmith while a member of the Oklahoma
   Public Employees Retirement System shall be treated as credited
   service for such transferring gunsmith in the Oklahoma Law Enforcement
   Retirement System if the gunsmith is not receiving or eligible to
   receive service credit or benefits from said service in any other
   public retirement system and the member has not received service
   credit for the same years of service pursuant to Sections 2-307.1,
   2-307.3 and 2-307.4 of Title 47 of the Oklahoma Statutes. Provided
   however, that the total of credited service for each transferring

   State of Oklahoma had been as an employee of the Department of Public
   Safety; and
   
   4. All service credit with the Oklahoma Public Employees Retirement
   System which is ineligible for transfer to the Law Enforcement
   Retirement System shall be canceled.
