     § 5509.  Appropriations and assessments by the Commonwealth.        (a)  Annual submission of budget.--The board shall prepare     and submit annually an itemized budget consisting of the amounts     necessary to be appropriated by the Commonwealth out of the     General Fund and special operating funds and the amounts to be     assessed the other employers required to meet the obligations     accruing during the fiscal period beginning the first day of     July of the following year.        (b)  Appropriation and payment.--The General Assembly shall     make an appropriation sufficient to provide for the obligations     of the Commonwealth. Such amount shall be paid by the State     Treasurer through the Department of Revenue into the fund in     accordance with requisitions presented by the board. The     contributions by the Commonwealth on behalf of active members     who are officers of the Pennsylvania State Police shall be     charged to the General Fund and to the Motor License Fund in the     same ratios as used to apportion the appropriations for salaries     of members of the Pennsylvania State Police. The contributions     by the Commonwealth on behalf of active members who are     enforcement officers and investigators of the Pennsylvania     Liquor Control Board shall be charged to the General Fund and to     the State Stores Fund.        (c)  Contributions from funds other than General Fund.--The     amounts assessed other employers who are required to make the     necessary contributions out of funds other than the General Fund     shall be paid by such employers into the fund in accordance with     requisitions presented by the board. The General Fund of the     Commonwealth shall not be held liable to appropriate the moneys     required to build up the reserves necessary for the payment of     benefits to employees of such other employers. In case any such     other employer shall fail to provide the moneys necessary for     such purpose, then the service of such members for such period     for which money is not so provided shall be credited and pickup     contributions with respect to such members shall continue to be     credited to the members' savings account. The annuity to which     such member is entitled shall be determined as actuarially     equivalent to the present value of the maximum single life     annuity of each such member reduced by the amount of employer     contributions payable on account and attributable to his     compensation during such service.
