Except for service credit transferred under section 5505.41 of the Revised Code , a member of the state highway patrol retirement system shall, in computing years

of active service in the highway patrol under sections 5505.16 , 5505.17 , and 5505.18 of the Revised Code , be given full credit for time served as a police officer or firefighter covered

under Chapter 742. and former Chapters 521. and 541. of the Revised Code, provided

such member pays to the state highway patrol retirement system the amount received

by the member under division (I) of former section 521.11, division (I) of former

section 741.18, division (I) of former section 741.49, or division (G) of section 742.37 of the Revised Code , with compound interest thereon at a rate to be determined by the state highway patrol

of the Ohio police and fire pension fund of such payment by the member, the Ohio police

and fire pension fund shall pay from the appropriate employers' contribution fund

under section 742.59 of the Revised Code to the state highway patrol retirement system an amount equal to the payment of the
