The State or any county, city, town or other political subdivision may, by contract, agree with any employee to defer or contribute a portion of that employee's compensation as part of a tax-deferred arrangement permitted for employees under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and subsequently contract for, purchase or otherwise procure for the employee an investment product or products as permitted by applicable law, including, but not limited to, a fixed or variable life insurance or annuity contract from an insurance company licensed to contract business in this State, shares of an investment company registered under the federal Investment Company Act of 1940 or investment products offered by any state or national bank.
