    Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, a person who, 
 after July 1, 1980, retires on a service pension with at least 
 20 years of service or a permanent disability benefit from the 
 relief association is entitled on January 1, 1981, or upon the 
 date of retirement, whichever occurs later, to receive a monthly

 benefit is an amount equal to one unit.  The monthly health and

 an insurance carrier to defray the cost of any health or welfare 
 related insurance coverage.
