Subd. 2. State employees covered. Every person who is a state employee, as defined in section 352.01, on July 1, 1967, or becomes a state employee after that date is covered by the system. Acceptance of state employment or continuance in state service is deemed consent to have deductions made from salary for deposit to the credit of the account of the state employee in the retirement fund.
Subd. 3. Optional exemptions.

After the request, a person requesting exemption is not entitled to coverage while employed in the position that entitled that person to exemption from coverage.
