If a full-time judicial magistrate who became a district associate judge on January 1, 1981 pursuant to statute or a person who was appointed a district associate judge between January 1, 1981 and June 30, 1984 is a member of the Iowa public employees' retirement system on June 30, 1984, the district associate judge may elect, by informing the state court administrator by June 30, 1984, one of the following retirement benefit options to be effective July 1, 1984:
1. To remain covered under the Iowa public employees' retirement system pursuant to chapter 97B.
2. To commence coverage under the judicial retirement system pursuant to article 9, part 1, effective July 1, 1984, but to become an inactive member of the Iowa public employees' retirement system pursuant to chapter 97B and remain eligible for benefits under sections 97B.49A through 97B.49H for the period of membership service under chapter 97B.
3. To commence coverage under the judicial retirement system pursuant to article 9, part 1, retroactive to the date the district associate judge became a district associate judge or a full-time judicial magistrate, whichever was earlier, and to cease to be a member of the Iowa public employees' retirement system, effective July 1, 1984. The department of personnel shall transmit by January 1, 1985 to the state court administrator for deposit in the judicial retirement fund the district associate judge's accumulated contributions as defined in section 97B.1A, subsection 2 for the judge's period of membership service as a district associate judge or full-time judicial magistrate, or both. Before July 1, 1986, or at retirement previous to that date, a district associate judge who becomes a member of the judicial retirement system pursuant to this subsection shall contribute to the judicial retirement fund an amount equal to the difference between four percent of the district associate judge's total basic salary for the entire period of service before July 1, 1984 as a district associate judge or judicial magistrate, or both, and the district associate judge's accumulated contributions transmitted by the department of personnel to the state court administrator pursuant to this subsection. The district associate judge's contribution shall not be limited to the amount specified in section 602.9104, subsection 1. The state court administrator shall credit a district associate judge with service under the judicial retirement system for the period of service for which contributions at the four percent level are made.
