The provisions of this section shall apply to any contracting agency that is not a city or county with respect to any of its employees who were local police officers within the meaning of Section 20425 prior to its amendment by Chapter 625 of the Statutes of 1975 and in employment on January 1, 1976.
The provisions of this section shall not otherwise apply to the employees of any contracting agency nor to any contracting agency until the contracting agency elects to be subject to the provisions of this section by amendment to its contract with the board made as provided in Section 20474 or by express provision in its contract with the board.
