(1)

The purpose of ORS 238.660 (Fund generally) is to ensure that the Public Employees Retirement Fund (PERF) is for the exclusive benefit of PERS members and the members’ beneficiaries. If any other provision of an OAR imposes a requirement upon the PERF contrary to ORS 238.660 (Fund generally), 238.660 (Fund generally) and this rule shall prevail and be the controlling factor for any Board or staff action.

(2)

Pursuant to ORS 238.660 (Fund generally), the PERF is a trust fund, separate and distinct, for the sole and exclusive use of the members and their beneficiaries as set forth in ORS 238.005 (Definitions) to 238.750 (Short title) and 237.950 (Pre-1953 Public Employees Retirement System abolished) to 237.980 (Rights and moneys exempt from taxation, execution and bankruptcy and are unassignable), unless otherwise specifically provided by law. All moneys, regardless of source, paid into the PERF, are to be used exclusively for the purposes set forth in ORS 238.005 (Definitions) to 238.750 (Short title) and 237.950 (Pre-1953 Public Employees Retirement System abolished) to 237.980 (Rights and moneys exempt from taxation, execution and bankruptcy and are unassignable), unless otherwise specifically provided by law. All moneys and income earned thereon shall remain in the PERF except:

(a)

As otherwise provided in ORS 238.005 (Definitions) to 238.750 (Short title) and 237.950 (Pre-1953 Public Employees Retirement System abolished) to 237.980 (Rights and moneys exempt from taxation, execution and bankruptcy and are unassignable); or

(b)

For any laws of the State of Oregon specifically authorizing the investment of moneys from the PERF for the purposes enhancing the value of the PERF.

(3)
