  which the person receives benefits from a public retirement system
  covered by this title other than one established under Section
  810.001; and
               (2)  becomes reemployed by an employer through which an
  employee may, or must as a condition of employment, enroll in a
  public retirement system covered by this title other than one
  established under Section 810.001.
         (b)  On the date of reemployment of a person described by
  Subsection (a), the person must resume making contributions to the
  applicable retirement system.  A person who resumes making

  effect on the date of the retirement, and that law is continued in
  effect for that purpose.
