2912	2912	1 (a) As used in this Section, "new benefit increase" means
2913	2913	2 an increase in the amount of any benefit provided under this
2914	2914	3 Article, or an expansion of the conditions of eligibility for
2915	2915	4 any benefit under this Article, that results from an amendment
2916	2916	5 to this Code that takes effect after June 1, 2005 (the
2917	2917	6 effective date of Public Act 94-4). "New benefit increase",
2918	2918	7 however, does not include any benefit increase resulting from
2919	2919	8 the changes made to Article 1 or this Article by Public Act
2920	2920	9 96-37, Public Act 100-23, Public Act 100-587, Public Act
2921	2921	10 100-611, Public Act 101-10, Public Act 101-610, Public Act
2922	2922	11 102-210, Public Act 102-856, Public Act 102-956, or this
2923	2923	12 amendatory Act of the 103rd General Assembly this amendatory
2924	2924	13 Act of the 102nd General Assembly.
2925	2925	14 (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Code or
2926	2926	15 any subsequent amendment to this Code, every new benefit
2927	2927	16 increase is subject to this Section and shall be deemed to be
2928	2928	17 granted only in conformance with and contingent upon
2929	2929	18 compliance with the provisions of this Section.
2930	2930	19 (c) The Public Act enacting a new benefit increase must
2931	2931	20 identify and provide for payment to the System of additional
2932	2932	21 funding at least sufficient to fund the resulting annual
2933	2933	22 increase in cost to the System as it accrues.
2934	2934	23 Every new benefit increase is contingent upon the General
2935	2935	24 Assembly providing the additional funding required under this
2936	2936	25 subsection. The Commission on Government Forecasting and
2937	2937	26 Accountability shall analyze whether adequate additional

2947	2947	HB3263 - 82 - LRB103 28890 RPS 55276 b
2948	2948	1 funding has been provided for the new benefit increase and
2949	2949	2 shall report its analysis to the Public Pension Division of
2950	2950	3 the Department of Insurance. A new benefit increase created by
2951	2951	4 a Public Act that does not include the additional funding
2952	2952	5 required under this subsection is null and void. If the Public
2953	2953	6 Pension Division determines that the additional funding
2954	2954	7 provided for a new benefit increase under this subsection is
2955	2955	8 or has become inadequate, it may so certify to the Governor and
2956	2956	9 the State Comptroller and, in the absence of corrective action
2957	2957	10 by the General Assembly, the new benefit increase shall expire
2958	2958	11 at the end of the fiscal year in which the certification is
2959	2959	12 made.
2960	2960	13 (d) Every new benefit increase shall expire 5 years after
2961	2961	14 its effective date or on such earlier date as may be specified
2962	2962	15 in the language enacting the new benefit increase or provided
2963	2963	16 under subsection (c). This does not prevent the General
2964	2964	17 Assembly from extending or re-creating a new benefit increase
2965	2965	18 by law.
2966	2966	19 (e) Except as otherwise provided in the language creating
2967	2967	20 the new benefit increase, a new benefit increase that expires
2968	2968	21 under this Section continues to apply to persons who applied
2969	2969	22 and qualified for the affected benefit while the new benefit
2970	2970	23 increase was in effect and to the affected beneficiaries and
2971	2971	24 alternate payees of such persons, but does not apply to any
2972	2972	25 other person, including, without limitation, a person who
2973	2973	26 continues in service after the expiration date and did not
