If an optional retirement plan participant assumes a position in state service other than as an employee of a public postsecondary education institution or employee of the Board of Regents, Board of Supervisors for the University of Louisiana System, Board of Supervisors of Louisiana State University and Agricultural and Mechanical College, Board of Supervisors of Southern University and Agricultural and Mechanical College, or Board of Supervisors of Community and Technical Colleges, or their successors, and any other constitutionally established board which manages public postsecondary education institutions in a position not covered by the Teachers' Retirement System of Louisiana, he must at that time begin membership in the appropriate retirement system which provides benefits for that position in state service, other than the Teachers' Retirement System of Louisiana.
