(3) (a) For all members who retire or are receiving retirement allowances in calendar year 1989, the administrator shall apply the 3% adjustment under Subsection (2) to all retirement allowances received in 1989, so that the period for which the allowance becomes subject to the tax under Title 59, Chapter 10, Individual Income Tax Act, and the period for which the 3% adjustment is given are the same.
