      1.  The Board may establish a fund to pay the accrued benefits of a member that are not payable because of the limitations set forth in NRS 286.537. The fund must be established in accordance with the provisions of section 415(m) of the Internal Revenue Code (26 U.S.C. § 415(m)) and must be separate from the Public Employees’ Retirement Fund.

      (a) Determine the amount of the employer contributions that must be allocated to the fund; and

      (b) Deposit that amount in the fund before it deposits any remaining employer contributions in the Public Employees’ Retirement Fund.
