6    (40 ILCS 5/17-127)  (from Ch. 108 1/2, par. 17-127)
7    Sec. 17-127. Financing; revenues for the Fund.

9paid into the Fund by contributors thereto and from employer
10contributions and State appropriations in accordance with this
11Article; (2) amounts contributed to the Fund by an Employer;
12(3) amounts contributed to the Fund pursuant to any law now in
13force or hereafter to be enacted; (4) contributions from any

1between 20% and 30% of the amount of the annual State
2contribution to the Article 16 retirement system, and the
3General Assembly declares that it is its goal and intention to
4continue this level of contribution to the Fund in the future.
5    (c) Beginning in State fiscal year 1999, the State shall
6include in its annual contribution to the Fund an additional
7amount equal to 0.544% of the Fund's total teacher payroll;
8except that this additional contribution need not be made in a
9fiscal year if the Board has certified in the previous fiscal
10year that the Fund is at least 90% funded, based on actuarial
