Nothing in this act which amends or supplements provisions of 71 Pa.C.S. Pt. XXV in relation to requirements for qualification of State Employees' Retirement System as a qualified pension plan under sections 401(a) and 415(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (Public Law 99-514, 26 U.S.C. §§ 401(a) and 415(b)) nor any construction of 71 Pa.C.S. Pt. XXV, as so amended or supplemented, or any rules or regulations adopted under 71 Pa.C.S. Pt. XXV shall create in any member of the State Employees' Retirement System or in any other person claiming an interest in the account of any such member a contractual right, either express or implied nor in any construction of 71 Pa.C.S. Pt. XXV, as so amended or supplemented, or any rules or regulations adopted under 71 Pa.C.S. Pt. XXV. The provisions of 71 Pa.C.S. Pt. XXV shall remain subject to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, and regulations thereunder as the same may be amended after the effective date of this section, and the General Assembly reserves to itself such further exercise of its legislative power to amend or supplement such provisions as may from time to time be required in order to maintain the qualifications of the State Employees' Retirement System as a qualified pension plan under section 401(a) and other applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.

71 Pa.C.S. § 28.1 Construction of law.

(1) Nothing in this act shall be construed or deemed to imply that, but for the expressed applications of the limitations on benefits or other requirements under section 401(a) or 415 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (Public Law 99-514, 26 U.S.C. § 401 or 415), those limitations would not otherwise apply to members of the State Employees' Retirement System and the benefits payable under 71 Pa.C.S. Pt. XXV. (2) Nothing in this act shall be construed or deemed to imply that any member of Class A-3 or Class A-4 shall be required to make contributions to the State Employees' Retirement System for the purchase of nonstate service credit in excess of the limits established by section 415(n)(3)(A)(iii) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. Any contributions made by a member of Class A-3 or Class A-4 for the purchase of nonstate service credit which are determined to be in excess of the limits shall be refunded to the member in a lump sum subject to withholding for all applicable taxes and penalties as soon as administratively possible after such determination is made. Any refund of excess contributions made under this section shall not affect the benefit payable to the member and shall not be treated as or deemed to be a withdrawal of the member's accumulated deductions. 2012, OCTOBER 24, P.L.1436, NO.181
