321.22  Pensions exempt from process.--No pension under the provisions of this law, either before or after its order of distribution, shall be held, seized, taken, retained, or levied on by virtue of any legal process issued out of any court against the beneficiary, but the same shall be paid directly to the beneficiary thereof. The Highway Patrol Pension Trust Fund shall be expended only for the benefits as set forth in this law, and shall not be otherwise disposed. Should the name and/or duties of the ¹Department of Public Safety be changed, and/or the name and/or duties of the ¹Drivers' License Division of the State Department of Public Safety be changed, such change or changes shall in no way affect the validity of this law; such names shall be automatically substituted for the name or names now in effect, and such superseding agencies shall assume full responsibilities as provided by this law and continue benefits to eligible members. Necessary funds for the continuance of benefits to such members as may be eligible shall be provided, if necessary, from other revenue than heretofore set forth, which shall come from the state General Revenue Fund; the legislative intent being to establish a permanent fund for eligible members so long as it may be required.
