The Board of Control of the Employees' Retirement System of Alabama shall determine annually the amount required to pay the cost of the increased allowances under subsection (a) of this section and shall notify the chief fiscal officer of each employer the per centum rates of earnable compensation of the members required to be paid to the retirement system. Each employer of members of the Employees' Retirement System of Alabama shall pay on account of the increases provided in subsection (a) of this section in the same manner and from the same source of funds as is provided in Section 36-27-24, it being the intent of the Legislature that the cost of providing the increases provided in subsection (a) of this section shall be distributed from all funds in proportion to the salaries paid therefrom for active members.
Subsequent appropriations shall be reduced to only the amount necessary to fund the benefit increases provided in subsection (a) of this section.
No person whose retirement under the Teachers' or state Employees' Retirement System is based primarily upon service as an employee of a county, municipality or other local employer shall be entitled to the benefits provided in subsection (a) of this section, unless the county, municipality or other local employer by which he was employed elects to come under the provisions of said subsection. Any county, municipality or other local employer making such election must bear the cost of supplemental benefits paid to its former employees pursuant to this section. A county, municipality or other local employer may elect to come under the provisions of this section at the beginning of any future fiscal year and said county, municipality or other local employer shall not be required to pay said supplemental benefits retroactively.
Any person retired under the Judicial Retirement System, provided for in Chapter 18 of Title 12, shall not be deemed a retiree of the Teachers' or Employees' Retirement Systems for purposes of this section and shall not be entitled to receive the supplemental benefits herein provided.
