(a) Any person who is appointed a judge of the Supreme Court or Superior Court and who has at the time of his appointment at least ten years of credited service under the tier II plan may, at any time within ten years after initial appointment as a judge to any such courts, elect to remain, or, if he has withdrawn from the tier II plan, to be reinstated as a member of the tier II plan in lieu of participation in the benefits of sections 51-49 to 51-50b, inclusive, and 51-51, and to receive credit for retirement purposes for the period of service as such a judge. Any contributions made under section 51-50b by any such judge prior to such election shall be paid from the judges and compensation commissioners' retirement system to such judge. Such judge shall be credited, for purposes of retirement under the tier II plan with the period of his service as a judge. No election under this section or under section 5-166a may be made by a tier II member other than one with at least ten years of credited service under the tier II plan.
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a) of this section, any retired state employee who is appointed a judge and who resigns prior to retirement as a judge shall not receive a reduction in the amount of retirement income or retirement benefits that he would have received had he remained a retired state employee, including any cost of living allowances granted to retired state employees.
