b. The State reserves the authority to amend or terminate the Supplemental Annuity Collective Trust program at any time and for any reason.

c. The State may provide that, in connection with a termination of the program, all accounts will be distributed, provided that the State and any related employer on the date of termination do not make contributions to an alternative plan or program subject to the rules under section 403(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (26 U.S.C. s.403(b)), as amended, that is not part of the program during the period beginning on the date of termination and ending 12 months after the distribution of all assets from the Supplemental Annuity Collective Trust program, except as permitted by the applicable regulations of the United States Department of the Treasury.
