(4) Unless exempted by the board therefrom a member of the police force shall, before at any time contributing or increasing the amount of his or her contributions for reserve units of benefits under this division, be medically examined at his or her own expense by a medical practitioner. (5) A member of the police force shall not at any time increase under this division the amount of his or her contributions to the fund if after considering the report of the medical practitioner, the board is not satisfied that the health and physical condition of such member of the police force are such as would justify his or her being then accepted as a contributor. ˙ When reserve units become ordinary units of benefits 33.
