In addition to contributions required to fund member accounts under s. 121.71, effective July 1, 2010, through June 30, 2014, employers participating in the Florida Retirement System shall contribute an employer assessment amount equal to 0.03 percent of the payroll reported for each class or subclass of Florida Retirement System membership. Effective July 1, 2014, the employer assessment is 0.04 percent of the payroll reported for each class or subclass of membership. Effective July 1, 2016, the employer assessment is 0.06 percent of the payroll reported for each class or subclass of membership. The amount assessed shall be transferred by the division from the Florida Retirement System Contributions Clearing Trust Fund to the State Board of Administration’s Administrative Trust Fund to offset the costs of administering the investment plan and the costs of providing educational services to members of the Florida Retirement System. Approval of the trustees is required before the expenditure of these funds. Payments for third-party administrative or educational expenses shall be made only pursuant to the terms of the approved contracts for such services.
