2. The state of North Dakota, at its option, may pay the member contributions required by
subsection 1 for all compensation earned after June 30, 1983, and may pay the
member contributions required to purchase service credit on a pretax basis pursuant
to subsection 8 of section 39-03.1-08.2. The amount paid must be paid by the state in
lieu of contributions by the member. A member may not receive the contributed
amounts directly once the employer has elected to pay the member contributions. If
the state decides not to pay the contributions, the amount that would have been paid
will continue to be deducted from compensation. If contributions are paid by the state,
they must be treated as employer contributions in determining tax treatment under this
code and the federal Internal Revenue Code. If contributions are paid by the state,
they must not be included as gross income of the member in determining tax treatment
under this code and the Internal Revenue Code until they are distributed or made
available. The state shall pay these member contributions from the same source of
funds used in paying compensation to the members. The state shall pay these
contributions by effecting an equal cash reduction in the gross salary of the employee
or by an offset against future salary increases or by a combination of a reduction in
gross salary and offset against future salary increases. If member contributions are
paid by the state, they must be treated for the purposes of this chapter in the same
manner and to the same extent as member contributions made prior to the date the
contributions were assumed by the state. The option given employers by this
subsection must be exercised in accordance with rules adopted by the board.
3. For compensation earned after August 1, 2009, all employee contributions required
under subsection 1, and not otherwise paid under subsection 2, must be paid by the
state in lieu of contributions by the member. All contributions paid by the state under
this subsection must be treated as employer contributions in determining tax treatment
under this code and the federal Internal Revenue Code. Contributions paid by the
state under this subsection may not be included as gross income of the member in
determining tax treatment under this code and the Internal Revenue Code until the
contributions are distributed or made available. Contributions paid by the state in
accordance with this subsection must be treated for the purposes of this chapter in the
same manner and to the same extent as member contributions made before the date
the contributions were assumed by the state. The state shall pay these member
contributions from the same source of funds used in paying compensation to the
members. The state shall pay these contributions by effecting an equal cash reduction
in the gross salary of the employee. The state shall continue making payments under
this section unless otherwise specifically provided for under the agency's biennial
appropriation or by law.
