1. The board shall administer the provisions of sections 287.812 to 287.855 and shall have the same powers, duties, and obligations in regard to the funds and the system provided for in such sections as it has in regard to the Missouri state employees' retirement system.

2. The commissioner of administration, the state treasurer, and the secretary of the Missouri state employees' retirement system shall perform the same duties in regard to the retirement system established pursuant to the provisions of sections 287.812 to 287.855 that are prescribed for such officers in sections 104.436 and 104.438 in regard to the Missouri state employees' retirement system. Funds so certified and transferred for the retirement system established pursuant to the provisions of sections 287.812 to 287.855 shall be deposited in a separate account of the Missouri state employees' retirement fund and shall be disbursed only for the purposes of sections 287.812 to 287.855.

3. As of April 26, 2005, the liabilities and assets of the administrative law judge's and legal advisor's retirement system shall be transferred and combined with the state employees' retirement system. The contribution rate certified by the board under section 104.1066 for the state employees' retirement system after April 26, 2005, shall include amounts necessary to cover the costs of the administrative law judge's and legal advisor's retirement system.
