    59-1501.  SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT SYSTEM -- WIDOWS OF GOVERNORS, SENATORS
OR CONGRESSMEN. (1) A supplemental retirement system is hereby created under
the management and control of the public employee retirement board, as
provided in chapter 13, title 59, Idaho Code, to provide retirement allowance
to widows of governors of this state and to widows of United States senators
or congressmen of this state, provided the spouse of such widow completed at
least four (4) years in one or more of the offices named.
    (2)  Such widows shall qualify for a retirement allowance upon attaining
the age of sixty-five (65) years, and such retirement allowance shall be an
annual amount equal to two and one-half per cent (2 1/2%) of the current
annual compensation of the office last held by her spouse, multiplied by the
number of years he served, payable in equal monthly installments. Provided,
however, the annual amount of retirement allowance shall not be less than four
thousand eight hundred dollars ($4,800) or more than ten thousand eight
hundred dollars ($10,800).
    (3)  The amount of the retirement allowance herein prescribed shall be
reduced by the amount of retirement allowance received from any other
retirement system operated by the state or federal government, except social
security benefits. The retirement board is also authorized to pay the
reasonable expenses incurred as a result of a last illness, including funeral
expenses, not otherwise paid from any other source.
