§1202. Failure to timely remit contributions; effect

A.(1) Should any parish or city school board or other employer refuse to transmit either employer's contributions or members' contributions by the due date, the payment of such contributions shall be delinquent.

(2)Upon a certification to the state treasurer or the Department of Education by the board of trustees of the School Employees' Retirement System of Louisiana that a payment is delinquent, the state treasurer or the Department of Education shall deduct the amount thereof from any monies then available for distribution to or for the benefit of that parish or city school board, college or university, or vocational and technical school or other agency or employer and shall transmit said amount directly to the board of trustees.

(3)Upon making such deduction, the state treasurer or the Department of Education shall immediately notify the school board or other authority that the deduction has been made and that the funds available for distribution to it are reduced accordingly.

(4)In like manner the board of trustees of the system, upon receipt of said funds, shall credit such funds to the account of the members affected thereby and shall notify the school board or other authority thereof.
