The authority shall establish and maintain a deferred compensation plan for the
employees of the State of Kentucky. Participation in such plan shall be by
agreement between such employees and the authority and shall provide for the
deferral of such amount of compensation as requested by the employee.
Participating employees must authorize that such deductions be made from their
wages for the purpose of participation in such program. Amounts so deducted shall
be deposited in the State Treasury to the credit of the trust fund.
The board is directed to develop and obtain, for the benefit of employees, a
qualified employee plan that includes a qualified cash or deferred arrangement as
described in Section 401(K)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code. The board is directed
to develop a program for participants to borrow from their account or accounts in
the plan. The plan shall be in addition to other plans offered by the board, and shall
be offered to employees upon receipt of appropriate approval of the Internal
Revenue Service or on January 1, 1985, whichever occurs later.
Notwithstanding the provisions of KRS 337.060, agreements to participate and plan
elections made by employees pursuant to subsections (1) and (2) of this section may
be made in writing or by electronic record, signature, or contract as determined by
the authority and in accordance with the provisions of KRS 369.101 to 369.120.
Agreements and elections, including but not limited to hardship withdrawal
applications, loan applications, beneficiary designations, and withdrawal requests
made by participating employees under the plan, shall not be denied legal effect or
enforceability if made electronically to the extent permitted by the authority.
