7    (f) After the submission of all payments for eligible
8employees from personal services line items in fiscal year 2004

10certification of the sum of all fiscal year 2004 expenditures
11for personal services that would have been covered by payments
12to the System under this Section if the provisions of this
13amendatory Act of the 93rd General Assembly had not been
14enacted. Upon receipt of the certification, the System shall
15determine the amount due to the System based on the full rate
16certified by the Board under Section 14-135.08 for fiscal year
172004 in order to meet the State's obligation under this
18Section. The System shall compare this amount due to the amount
19received by the System in fiscal year 2004 through payments
20under this Section and under Section 6z-61 of the State Finance
21Act. If the amount due is more than the amount received, the

23purposes of this Section, and the Fiscal Year 2004 Shortfall
24shall be satisfied under Section 1.2 of the State Pension Funds

5    (g) For purposes of determining the required State
6contribution to the System, the value of the System's assets
7shall be equal to the actuarial value of the System's assets,
8which shall be calculated as follows:
9    As of June 30, 2008, the actuarial value of the System's
10assets shall be equal to the market value of the assets as of
11that date. In determining the actuarial value of the System's
12assets for fiscal years after June 30, 2008, any actuarial
13gains or losses from investment return incurred in a fiscal
14year shall be recognized in equal annual amounts over the
155-year period following that fiscal year.
16    (h) For purposes of determining the required State
17contribution to the System for a particular year, the actuarial
18value of assets shall be assumed to earn a rate of return equal
19to the System's actuarially assumed rate of return.
20    (i) After the submission of all payments for eligible
21employees from personal services line items paid from the
22General Revenue Fund in fiscal year 2010 have been made, the

3System based on the full rate certified by the Board under
4Section 14-135.08 for fiscal year 2010 in order to meet the
5State's obligation under this Section. The System shall compare
6this amount due to the amount received by the System in fiscal
7year 2010 through payments under this Section. If the amount
8due is more than the amount received, the difference shall be
9termed the "Fiscal Year 2010 Shortfall" for purposes of this
10Section, and the Fiscal Year 2010 Shortfall shall be satisfied
11under Section 1.2 of the State Pension Funds Continuing
12Appropriation Act. If the amount due is less than the amount
13received, the difference shall be termed the "Fiscal Year 2010
14Overpayment" for purposes of this Section, and the Fiscal Year
152010 Overpayment shall be repaid by the System to the General
16Revenue Fund as soon as practicable after the certification.
17    (j) After the submission of all payments for eligible

1Section 14-135.08 for fiscal year 2011 in order to meet the
2State's obligation under this Section. The System shall compare
3this amount due to the amount received by the System in fiscal
4year 2011 through payments under this Section. If the amount
5due is more than the amount received, the difference shall be
6termed the "Fiscal Year 2011 Shortfall" for purposes of this
7Section, and the Fiscal Year 2011 Shortfall shall be satisfied
8under Section 1.2 of the State Pension Funds Continuing
9Appropriation Act. If the amount due is less than the amount
10received, the difference shall be termed the "Fiscal Year 2011
11Overpayment" for purposes of this Section, and the Fiscal Year
122011 Overpayment shall be repaid by the System to the General
13Revenue Fund as soon as practicable after the certification.
14    (k) For fiscal years 2012 through 2016 2015 only, after the
15submission of all payments for eligible employees from personal
16services line items paid from the General Revenue Fund in the
17fiscal year have been made, the Comptroller shall provide to
