It is expressly declared to be the intention of the General Assembly to limit the benefits granted to special vestees to those employees of The Pennsylvania State University who are members of the State Employees' Retirement System and who are being terminated from State service with The Pennsylvania State University because of the creation of the Penn State Geisinger Health System. It is further the expressed intention of the General Assembly that the actuarial cost of granting superannuation benefits to special vestees be borne by The Pennsylvania State University. The provisions of this act are declared to be nonseverable. Should a court of competent jurisdiction finally rule that limitation of special vestee status to those employees of The Pennsylvania State University who are terminated from State service with The Pennsylvania State University because of the creation of the Penn State Geisinger Health System or the imposition of the actuarial cost resulting from the creation of the class of membership known as special vestees is violative of the laws or constitutions of this Commonwealth or the United States, then this entire act is null and void as if never enacted, except that if the total of any payments actually made to any special vestee who has attained superannuation age is greater than the total accumulated deductions credited to the member's savings account of the special vestee at the effective date of retirement, the excess may be retained by the member and except that any statutory interest credited to the member's savings account prior to the invalidation of this act may be paid to the member as part of the member's accumulated deductions. 1999, JUNE 22, P.L.75, NO.12
