     § 5509.  Appropriations and assessments by the Commonwealth.
        (a)  Annual submission of budget.--The board shall prepare
     and submit annually an itemized budget consisting of the amounts
     necessary to be appropriated by the Commonwealth out of the
     General Fund and special operating funds and the amounts to be
     assessed the other employers required to meet the obligations
     accruing during the fiscal period beginning the first day of
     July of the following year.
        (b)  Appropriation and payment.--The General Assembly shall
     make an appropriation sufficient to provide for the obligations
     of the Commonwealth. Such amount shall be paid by the State
     Treasurer through the Department of Revenue into the fund in
     accordance with requisitions presented by the board. The
     contributions by the Commonwealth on behalf of active members
     who are officers of the Pennsylvania State Police shall be
     charged to the General Fund and to the Motor License Fund in the
     same ratios as used to apportion the appropriations for salaries
     of members of the Pennsylvania State Police. The contributions
     by the Commonwealth on behalf of active members who are
     enforcement officers and investigators of the Pennsylvania
     Liquor Control Board shall be charged to the General Fund and to
     the State Stores Fund.
        (c)  Contributions from funds other than General Fund.--The
     amounts assessed other employers who are required to make the
     necessary contributions out of funds other than the General Fund
     shall be paid by such employers into the fund in accordance with
     requisitions presented by the board. The General Fund of the
     Commonwealth shall not be held liable to appropriate the moneys
     required to build up the reserves necessary for the payment of
     benefits to employees of such other employers. In case any such
     other employer shall fail to provide the moneys necessary for
     such purpose, then the service of such members for such period
     for which money is not so provided shall be credited and pickup
     contributions with respect to such members shall continue to be
     credited to the members' savings account. The annuity to which
     such member is entitled shall be determined as actuarially
     equivalent to the present value of the maximum single life
     annuity of each such member reduced by the amount of employer
     contributions payable on account and attributable to his
     compensation during such service.
