1
between 20% and 30% of the
amount of the annual State 
2
contribution to the Article 16 retirement system,
and the 
3
General Assembly declares that it is its goal and intention to 
4
continue
this level of contribution to the Fund in the future.

5
    Beginning in State fiscal year 1999, the State shall 
6
include in its annual
contribution to the Fund an additional 
7
amount equal to 0.544% of the Fund's
total teacher payroll; 
8
except that this additional contribution need not be
made in a 
9
fiscal year if the Board has certified in the previous fiscal 
10
year
that the Fund is at least 90% funded, based on actuarial 
11
determinations.  These
additional State contributions are 
12
intended to offset a portion of the cost to
the Fund of the 
13
increases in retirement benefits resulting from this 
14
amendatory
Act of 1998.

15
    Beginning in State fiscal year 2010, in addition to the 
16
percentage of the Fund's total teacher payroll required under 
17
this subsection (b), the General Assembly must make annual 
18
contributions to the Fund of  an amount equal to 20% of the 
19
amount of the annual State contribution to the Teachers' 
20
Retirement System of the State of Illinois.
