   Notwithstanding any other provision of this part, the retirement
allowance formula for any member subject to this section who has 35
years of credited service and attains age 55 years, is the fraction
of final compensation set forth above at age 65 multiplied by the
current and prior service subject to this section that the member is
credited with at retirement.
   A local miscellaneous member subject to this section shall be
retired for service upon his or her written application to the board
if he or she has attained age 55 and is credited with five years of
state service.



20553.  The combined current and prior service pensions for a local
miscellaneous member whose service is subject to this section is a
pension derived from the contributions of the employer sufficient,
when added to the service retirement annuity that is derived from the
accumulated normal contributions of the member at the date of
retirement, to equal the fraction of one-fiftieth of the member's
final compensation set forth opposite the member's age at retirement,
taken to the preceding completed quarter year, in the following
table, multiplied by the number of years of local miscellaneous
service subject to this article, with which the member is entitled to
be credited at retirement:
