(2) An amount shall be paid to the retirement system from funds appropriated or otherwise available for the operation of the judicial branch of state government in an amount equal to the normal employer contribution which would have been paid on behalf of the member if the member had been a member of the retirement system during the period for which service is granted plus 4 1/2 percent interest on such employer contributions, compounded annually to the date of payment;

and provided, further, that no such service shall be deemed as creditable under any provisions of this chapter if such service has or will be used in the determination of any member's eligibility for his retirement benefits or allowances for any other retirement system, excluding social security and those retirement programs covered under Public Law 810, 80th Congress, as amended.
