## Text

It is the intent of the Legislature that the survivor benefit retirement program for members of the Florida Retirement System Investment Plan meet all applicable requirements for a qualified plan. If the state board or the division receives notification from the Internal Revenue Service that this program or any portion of this program will cause the retirement system, or any portion thereof, to be disqualified for tax purposes under the Internal Revenue Code, the portion that will cause the disqualification does not apply. Upon such notice, the state board or the division shall notify the presiding officers of the Legislature. The state board and the department may adopt any rules necessary to maintain the qualified status of the survivor benefit retirement program.

History: s. 4, ch. 2016-213; s. 13, ch. 2017-88.
