The fractions specified in the above table shall be reduced by one-third as applied to that part of final compensation which does not exceed four hundred dollars ($400) per month for all service of a member any of whose service has been included in the federal system.

The retirement allowance provided by this section, which shall be effective for members who retire on and after April 1, 1998, is granted subject to future reduction prior to a member’s retirement, by offset of federal system benefits or otherwise, as the Legislature may from time to time deem appropriate because of changes in such federal system benefits.

(Added by Stats. 1998, Ch. 88, Sec. 64. Effective June 30, 1998. See the identical section added by Stats. 1998, Ch. 91, and its conditional amendment by Stats. 1999, Ch. 555.)
