38.1341a Separate contribution rate; unfunded accrued liability.
Sec. 41a.
For fiscal years that begin on or after March 28, 1996, the retirement system shall determine a separate contribution rate for a reporting unit that is a university listed in section 6(5). The retirement system shall determine the separate contribution rate in the manner prescribed in section 41, except that the unfunded actuarial accrued liability shall be amortized over 40 years beginning October 1, 1996 and ending on September 30, 2036, with the payment schedule for universities being based on and applied to the combined payrolls of the universities' employees who are members and who were hired before January 1, 1996 and the universities' employees who would have been members on or after January 1, 1996, but for the enactment of 1995 PA 272. The amount of the unfunded accrued liability on which the separate contribution rate is determined shall be that amount which a reporting unit that is a university listed in section 6(5) is legally responsible for and is calculated by actuarial analysis. Any reduction in the unfunded liability of the system pursuant to governmental action affecting the entire system will be allocated to all reporting units including universities as determined by the system's actuary. For the 2006-2007 state fiscal year, the contribution for unfunded actuarial accrued liability shall be equal to 4.5% of the unfunded actuarial accrued liability.
