1    The Board shall determine the amount of State and employer
2contributions required for each fiscal year on the basis of the
3actuarial tables and other assumptions adopted by the Board and
4the recommendations of the System's actuary, using the formulas
5provided in this Section.
6    The System shall make all necessary assumptions to
7determine and allocate total demographic gains and losses for
8the purpose of determining State and employer contributions
9under this Section. Such assumptions shall include but not be
10limited to the rates of retirement, termination, disability,
11and mortality.
12    (a-1) For State fiscal years 2012 through 2014, the minimum
13contribution to the System to be made by the State for each

15sufficient to bring the total assets of the System up to 90% of
16the total actuarial liabilities of the System by the end of
17State fiscal year 2045. In making these determinations, the
18required State contribution shall be calculated each year as a
19level percentage of payroll over the years remaining to and

21projected unit credit actuarial cost method.
22    For State fiscal years 2015 through 2044, the minimum

3required State contribution shall be calculated each year as a
4level percentage of payroll over the years remaining to and

10attributable to the State, the System shall determine the
