A. Notwithstanding the provisions of R.S. 11:886, should any parish or city school board or other employer refuse to transmit either employer's contributions or members' contributions within ten days after its due date, the payment shall be delinquent. Upon a certificate to the state treasurer by the board of trustees of the system that a payment is delinquent, the state treasurer shall deduct the amount thereof from any monies then available for distribution to or for the benefit of that parish or city school board, college or university, or vocational and technical school, or other agency or employer and shall transmit said amount directly to the board of trustees. Upon making such deduction, the state treasurer shall immediately notify the school board or other authority that the deduction has been made and that the funds available for distribution to it are reduced accordingly. In like manner the board of trustees of the system, upon receipt of said funds, shall credit such funds to the account of the members affected thereby and shall notify the school board or other authority thereof.
B. As used in this Section, “due date” means the close of the fifth day after the end of the month for which payment of employer and members' contributions are applicable.
C. The state treasurer shall deduct monthly from the state funds due every employer, except city and parish school boards, the employer contributions on salary funds which come from the state treasury and shall remit this amount directly to the retirement system within five working days after the first day of each month.
