(a) Subject to the provisions of this chapter, the state shall not contribute to finance the Arkansas Local Police and Fire Retirement System, except those amounts which the political subdivision may receive under laws providing for a general apportionment of political subdivision moneys throughout the state.
(b) The system administrative expenses provided by employer contributions and by system investment return shall not exceed a total of one-half of one percent (0.5%) of active member pays plus one percent (1%) of system assets.
(c) Because the system is covering future hires and not present employees, it will be a few years until the system has grown enough that the administrative expense maximum specified in subsection (b) of this section will cover all system administrative expenses. Until the inevitable growth has occurred, the portion of system administrative expenses not covered by that maximum amount shall be paid from the revenues derived from the premium taxes levied on foreign insurers by the Arkansas Insurance Code or any other funds designated for support of firefighters' pension funds and police officers' pension funds in political subdivisions.
