House of Correction Employees' Pension Fund superseded. On January 1, 1969, the fund herein provided for shall supersede the fund created by the House of Correction Employees' Pension Act, in operation in the city on December 31, 1968, and, as soon as practicable and possible thereafter, all monies, securities, other assets, records, and other property of such superseded fund shall be transferred by the board of trustees of said superseded fund to the custody and ownership of the retirement board of the annuity and benefit fund herein provided for, which said retirement board is hereby empowered to receive them, and shall thereupon assume all of the liabilities of the superseded fund. All annuities, pensions, and other benefits allowed prior to January 1, 1969 by the board of trustees of the superseded fund, shall thereafter be paid by the retirement board of the annuity and benefit fund herein provided for, and all claims accrued, pending or ungranted prior to such date shall be allowed or disallowed by said retirement board, according to the law governing the superseded fund on December 31, 1968, and if allowed shall be paid from the annuity and benefit fund herein provided for. The assets of the superseded House of Correction Employees' Pension Fund, transferred to the annuity and benefit fund herein provided for, shall be distributed and credited to appropriate fund accounts otherwise described in this Article 8, and all liabilities, payments of pensions and benefits arising out of the merger of said superseded fund into the said annuity and benefit fund shall be reflected in, paid from, and charged to such accounts, in the same manner as provided for in the case of a superseded Municipal Pension Fund.
