Sec. 5. (a) The pension stabilization fund is established. The pension stabilization fund is a part of the pre-1996 account and shall be administered by the board in accordance with the powers and duties granted to the board by IC 5-10.4-3-10 through IC 5-10.4-3-14, IC 5-10.5-4, and IC 5-10.5-6.
(b) The following shall be deposited in the pension stabilization fund:
(1) Amounts allocated to the pension stabilization fund by the board from amounts transferred to the Indiana public retirement system under IC 4-30-16-3.
(2) A part of the employer reserve balance as determined by the budget director so that the employer reserve is sufficient for the cash flow needs.
(3) Other amounts appropriated to the pension stabilization fund by the general assembly.
(c) Payments from the pension stabilization fund must equal the pre-1996 account liabilities for the current fiscal year minus the prior year's state general fund payments for the pre-1996 account multiplied by the pension stabilization percentage set forth in subsection (d).
(d) The pension stabilization percentage is one hundred six percent (106%). The budget agency, after review by the budget committee and with the approval of the governor, may change the pension stabilization percentage so that the present value of future payments from the fund equal the fund's balance plus the present value of future receipts to the fund, but the payments may not allow the fund balance to be negative.
(e) Money in the pension stabilization fund at the end of a state fiscal year does not revert to the state general fund.
