B. The prefunding plan and the assets held in the prefunding plan are separate and apart from:

1. The public safety personnel retirement fund and any other fund, program or plan administered by the board.

2. Any pension prefunding plan investment accounts established pursuant to section 35-314.04 or any other section of title 35 and any pension prefunding plan monies in such accounts.
