The rollover account must be kept separate from the member account of the member and must be invested separately from all other moneys in the Public Employees Retirement Fund. All earnings on the rollover account shall be credited by the board to the rollover account. If the membership of the employee in the Public Employees Retirement System is terminated under the provisions of ORS 238.095, the board shall cease investment of the amounts in the rollover account and, after the effective date of the termination, shall no longer credit earnings and losses to the rollover account.

Rules and procedures adopted by the board must ensure that the rollover contributions do not adversely affect the status of the system and the Public Employees Retirement Fund as a qualified governmental plan and trust under federal income tax law. (7) The board shall by rule establish a maintenance fee for rollover accounts established under this section. The fee may be collected out of earnings on rollover accounts or, if there are no earnings, from the principal amounts paid into the rollover accounts.
