A. Assets transferred into or out of or held in the prefunding plan and investment income on assets in the prefunding plan are exempt from state, county and municipal taxes.
B. The legislature intends that the prefunding plan's income not be subject to federal income tax. The board may adopt additional rules, policies and procedures as the board deems necessary or appropriate to fulfill the legislature's intent that the prefunding plan's income not be subject to federal income tax.
C. If the board receives notification from the United States internal revenue service that this article or any portion of this article will jeopardize the tax-exempt status of the prefunding plan's income, the portion of this article that will cause the disqualification does not apply.
