Louisiana Revised Statutes Tit. 11, § 2180.2. Compensation limited

A. In addition to other applicable limitations set forth in the plan, and notwithstanding any other provisions of the plan to the contrary, for plan years beginning on or after January 1, 1994, the annual compensation of each employee taken into account under the plan shall not exceed the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993  1 annual compensation limit. The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 annual compensation limit is one hundred fifty thousand dollars, as adjusted by the commissioner of Internal Revenue for increases in the cost-of-living in accordance with Section 401(a)(17)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code 1. The cost-of-living adjustment in effect for a calendar year applies to any period, not exceeding twelve months, over which compensation is determined (determination period) beginning in such calendar year. If a determination period consists of fewer than twelve months, the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 annual compensation limit will be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months in the determination period, and the denominator of which is twelve.

B. For plan years beginning on or after January 1, 1994, any reference in this plan to the limitations under Internal Revenue Code Section 401(a)(17) shall mean the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 annual compensation limit set forth in this Section.

C. If compensation for a prior determination period is taken into account in determining an employee's benefits accruing in the current plan year, the compensation for that prior determination period is subject to the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 annual compensation limit in effect for that prior determination period. For this purpose, for determination periods beginning before the first day of the first plan year beginning on or after January 1, 1994, the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 annual compensation limit is two hundred thousand dollars.
