        (a)  Penalty for fraud.--Any person who shall knowingly make
     any false statement or shall falsify or permit to be falsified
     any record or records of this system in any attempt to defraud
     the system as a result of such act shall be guilty of a
     misdemeanor of the second degree.
        (b)  Adjustment of errors.--Should any change or mistake in
     records result in any member, beneficiary or survivor annuitant
     receiving from the system more or less than he would have been
     entitled to receive had the records been correct, then
     regardless of the intentional or unintentional nature of the
     error and upon the discovery of such error, the board shall
     correct the error and so far as practicable shall adjust the
     payments which may be made for and to such person in such a
     manner that the actuarial equivalent of the benefit to which he
     was correctly entitled shall be paid.
