Membership in the Vermont State Retirement System shall be optional with employees

pursuant to subsection 482(a) or subsection 483(a) of this title and any such employee shall become a member as of that date or as of the date of
completing three years of continuous service for the employer, if later, unless he
or she files with the Retirement Board within 30 days of his or her eligibility a
notice of his or her election not to be included in the membership. Any such employee
who becomes a member of the Vermont State Retirement System within one year of the
effective date of participation of his or her employer shall be credited with creditable
