ANNOTATION
Annotator's note. Since § 31-30.5-208 is similar to §§ 31-30-313 and 31-30-412 as they existed prior to the 1996 amendment that relocated parts 3 through 10 of article 30, relevant cases construing those sections have been included in the annotations to this section.
Intent of section. This section and section 31-30-412 are obviously intended to protect the pension funds from attachment and levy by creditors. Conrad v. City of Thornton, 191 Colo. 444, 553 P.2d 822 (1976).
Reason for restriction on use of pension funds. This section and section 31-30-412 place a restriction on the use of pension funds in order to secure the funds for the use and benefit of the firemen and policemen who contributed to the fund. Conrad v. City of Thornton, 191 Colo. 444, 553 P.2d 822 (1976).
