in effect

Sec. 5. (a) The state comptroller shall provide for the administration of the state employees' deferred compensation plan. The state comptroller may, at the state comptroller's option, enter into a contract or contracts with an individual or individuals, incorporated or unincorporated organizations or associations, the state of Indiana, units of local government, agencies of the state or units of local government, or a group of such persons acting in concert, for the provision of all or part of the services involved in the administration of the plan. Participation in the plan shall be by a specific written agreement between each employee and the state which agreement shall provide for the deferral of such amount of compensation as requested by the employee. With each deferral of compensation, the employee shall receive a memorandum of the amount by which the employee's gross compensation is reduced by reason of the deferment of compensation, which amount shall not be included as a part of the employee's taxable compensation as to that period. (b) The funding utilized under the state employees' deferred compensation plan shall have been reviewed and selected by the deferred compensation committee based on a competitive bidding process as established by such specifications deemed appropriate by the deferred compensation committee. Nothing in this section shall be construed as requiring a limitation on the number and variety of funding contracts which may be selected as a result of this bidding process. (c) In no case shall funding of the state employees' deferred compensation plan be made except through persons or companies authorized and duly licensed by this state and applicable federal regulatory agencies to offer such funding programs.
