  3 21 once the judicial retirement system attains fully
  3 22 funded status based upon the benefits provided for
  3 23 judges through July 1, 2001, the employer and employee
  3 24 contribution rates established to fund the judicial

  3 27 required under the Iowa public employees' retirement
  3 28 system.

  3 31 established in section 97D.4, when the judicial branch
  3 32 anticipates that the judicial retirement system is
  3 33 within two additional fiscal years of attaining fully
  3 34 funded status as defined in section 602.9104 based
  3 35 upon the benefits provided for judges through July 1,
  3 36 2001.  In addition, the state court administrator

  3 42 next scheduled meeting of the committee concerning
  3 43 appropriate methods of adequately financing the
  3 44 judicial retirement system once the system reaches
  3 45 fully funded status.  In conducting the study, the
  3 46 state court administrator shall consider, and make
  3 47 recommendations concerning, the appropriateness of
  3 48 funding the judicial retirement system by establishing
  3 49 employer and employee contribution rates which shall
  3 50 maintain the actuarial soundness of the system and
  4  1 which shall reflect the intent of the general assembly
  4  2 as contemplated in subsection 1."
