ยง 399-A. Reduction  of salaries for tax-deferred annuities.  The board
  of higher education of a city having a  population  of  one  million  or
  more,  in its discretion, may enter into a written agreement with any of
  its employees to reduce the  annual  salary,  as  otherwise  earned  and
  payable  by  law,  of  such  employee  for  the  purpose  of providing a
  tax-deferred annuity for such employee under the  retirement  system  in
  which  such  employee is currently a member; but only if such retirement
  system  specifically  provides  for  such  tax-deferred  annuities,  and
  subject  to any provisions and limitations applicable thereto.  Any such
  agreement may be terminated upon written notice by either such  employee
  or  such board.  Nothing contained in this section shall be construed to
  diminish or impair any benefits to which  such  employee  or  his  legal
  representatives  or  beneficiaries  would be otherwise entitled had such
  salary reduction agreement not been entered into in accordance with  the
  provisions of this section.
