This reduction shall not apply to a member employed by a contracting agency that enters into a contract after July 1, 1971, and elects not to be subject to this subdivision or with respect to service rendered after the termination of coverage under the federal system with respect to the coverage group to which the member belongs.

    (d) This section shall not apply to a contracting agency nor its employees until the contracting agency elects to make all local miscellaneous members subject to it by amendment to its contract made in the manner prescribed for approval of contracts or in the case of a new contract, by express provision of the contract. The operative date of this section with respect to a local miscellaneous member shall be the effective date of the amendment to his or her employer's contract electing to be subject to this section.
