(a) The trust shall be administered in a manner reasonably designed to be actuarially sound such that the assets of the trust will be sufficient to defray the obligations of the trust.
(b) In the accounting of the trust made pursuant to Code Section 20-3-611, the board shall annually evaluate or cause to be evaluated the actuarial soundness of the trust by a nationally recognized actuarial firm and determine the additional assets needed, if any, to defray the obligations of the trust. If there are not funds sufficient to ensure the actuarial soundness of the trust, the trust shall adjust payments of subsequent purchases to ensure its actuarial soundness. If there are insufficient numbers of new purchasers to ensure the actuarial soundness of a plan of the trust, the available assets of the trust attributable to the plan shall be immediately prorated among the then existing contracts, and these shares shall be applied, at the option of the person to whom the refund is payable or would be payable under the contract upon termination of the contract, either towards the purposes of the contract for a qualified beneficiary or disbursed to the person to whom the refund is payable or would be payable under the contract upon termination of the contract.
(c) Before entering into advance tuition payment contracts with purchasers, the trust shall solicit answers to appropriate ruling requests from the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding the application of federal security laws to the trust. No contracts shall be entered without the trust making known the status of the request.
