1568	1568	21 became members before January 1, 2011, then that provision

1587	1587	4 members or participants in that Article before January 1,
1588	1588	5 2011, except that each annual increase shall be calculated at
1589	1589	6 3% or one-half the annual unadjusted percentage increase (but
1590	1590	7 not less than zero) in the consumer price index-u for the 12
1591	1591	8 months ending with the September preceding each November 1,
1592	1592	9 whichever is greater, of the originally granted retirement
1593	1593	10 annuity. If the annual unadjusted percentage change in the
1594	1594	11 consumer price index-u for the 12 months ending with the
1595	1595	12 September preceding each November 1 is zero or there is a
1596	1596	13 decrease, then the annuity shall not be increased.
1597	1597	14 For the purposes of this Section, "consumer price index-u"
1598	1598	15 means the index published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of
1599	1599	16 the United States Department of Labor that measures the
1600	1600	17 average change in prices of goods and services purchased by
1601	1601	18 all urban consumers, United States city average, all items,

1603	1603	20 adjustment shall be determined by the Public Pension Division
1604	1604	21 of the Department of Insurance and made available to the
1605	1605	22 boards of the retirement systems and pension funds by November
1606	1606	23 1 of each year.

1632	1632	14 (a) As used in this Section, "new benefit increase" means
1633	1633	15 an increase in the amount of any benefit provided under this
1634	1634	16 Article, or an expansion of the conditions of eligibility for
1635	1635	17 any benefit under this Article, that results from an amendment
1636	1636	18 to this Code that takes effect after June 1, 2005 (the
1637	1637	19 effective date of Public Act 94-4). "New benefit increase",
1638	1638	20 however, does not include any benefit increase resulting from

1654	1654	3 Act of the 102nd General Assembly.
1655	1655	4 (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Code or
1656	1656	5 any subsequent amendment to this Code, every new benefit
1657	1657	6 increase is subject to this Section and shall be deemed to be
1658	1658	7 granted only in conformance with and contingent upon
1659	1659	8 compliance with the provisions of this Section.
1660	1660	9 (c) The Public Act enacting a new benefit increase must
1661	1661	10 identify and provide for payment to the System of additional
1662	1662	11 funding at least sufficient to fund the resulting annual
1663	1663	12 increase in cost to the System as it accrues.
1664	1664	13 Every new benefit increase is contingent upon the General
1665	1665	14 Assembly providing the additional funding required under this
1666	1666	15 subsection. The Commission on Government Forecasting and
1667	1667	16 Accountability shall analyze whether adequate additional
1668	1668	17 funding has been provided for the new benefit increase and
1669	1669	18 shall report its analysis to the Public Pension Division of
1670	1670	19 the Department of Insurance. A new benefit increase created by
1671	1671	20 a Public Act that does not include the additional funding
1672	1672	21 required under this subsection is null and void. If the Public
1673	1673	22 Pension Division determines that the additional funding
1674	1674	23 provided for a new benefit increase under this subsection is
1675	1675	24 or has become inadequate, it may so certify to the Governor and
1676	1676	25 the State Comptroller and, in the absence of corrective action
1677	1677	26 by the General Assembly, the new benefit increase shall expire

1699	1699	12 and qualified for the affected benefit while the new benefit
1700	1700	13 increase was in effect and to the affected beneficiaries and

1702	1702	15 other person, including, without limitation, a person who

1740	1740	18 increase is subject to this Section and shall be deemed to be
1741	1741	19 granted only in conformance with and contingent upon
