    § 2049-gg. Transfer of officers and employees. Any officer or employee
  of  the counties or any other municipality within the area of operation,
  under civil service, who is selected by  the  authority  may,  with  the
  consent  of  the  chief executive officer of the legislative body of the
  employing county or municipality, be transferred to  the  authority  and
  shall   be   eligible   for   such  transfer  and  appointment,  without
  examination, to applicable offices, positions and employment  under  the
  authority.  The  salary or compensation of any such officer or employee,
  after such transfer, shall be paid by the authority. Any  such  officers
  or  employees  so  transferred to the authority pursuant to this section
  who are members of or benefit under any existing pension  or  retirement
  fund   or   system  shall  continue  to  have  all  rights,  privileges,
  obligations and status with respect to such fund or system  as  are  now
  prescribed  by  law,  but,  during the period of their employment by the
  authority, all contributions to such fund or system to be  paid  by  the
  employer  on  account of such officers or employees shall be paid by the
  authority.  All  such  officers  or  employees  so  transferred  to  the
  authority  who  have  been  appointed  to  positions under the rules and
  classifications  of  the  personnel  officer  of  the  county  or  other
  employing  municipality  shall have the same status with respect thereto
  after transfer to  the  authority  as  they  had  under  their  original
  appointment.
