79	79	4 The maximum retirement annuity under this subsection (b)
80	80	5 shall be 75% of final average salary.
81	81	6 For the purposes of this subsection (b), "final average
82	82	7 salary" means the greater of: (i) the average monthly salary

86	86	11 the number of months of service in that period; or (ii) the
87	87	12 average monthly salary obtained by dividing the total salary
88	88	13 of the policeman during the 48 consecutive months of service
89	89	14 within the last 60 months of service in which the total salary
90	90	15 was the highest by the number of months of service in that
91	91	16 period.
92	92	17 Beginning on January 1, 2011, for all purposes under this
93	93	18 Code (including without limitation the calculation of benefits
94	94	19 and employee contributions), the annual salary based on the

116	116	5 (c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article,
117	117	6 for a person who first becomes a policeman under this Article
118	118	7 on or after January 1, 2011, eligibility for and the amount of
119	119	8 the annuity to which the qualified surviving spouse, children,
120	120	9 and parents are entitled under this subsection (c) shall be
121	121	10 determined as follows:
122	122	11 (1) The surviving spouse of a deceased policeman to
123	123	12 whom this Section applies shall be deemed qualified to
124	124	13 receive a Tier 2 surviving spouse's annuity under this

126	126	15 requirements specified under subdivision (A), (B), (C), or
127	127	16 (D) of this paragraph (1); and (ii) the surviving spouse
128	128	17 would not otherwise be excluded from receiving a widow's
129	129	18 annuity under the eligibility requirements for a widow's
130	130	19 annuity set forth in Section 5-146. The Tier 2 surviving
131	131	20 spouse's annuity is in lieu of the widow's annuity
132	132	21 determined under any other Section of this Article and is
133	133	22 subject to the requirements of Section 5-147.1.
134	134	23 As used in this subsection (c), "earned annuity" means
135	135	24 a Tier 2 monthly retirement annuity determined under
136	136	25 subsection (b) of this Section, including any increases

292	292	1 that no such annuity shall be paid to the surviving
293	293	2 spouse of a policeman who dies while in receipt of
294	294	3 disability benefits when the policeman's death was
295	295	4 caused by an intervening illness or injury unrelated
296	296	5 to the illness or injury that had prevented him from
297	297	6 subsequently resuming active service in the police
298	298	7 department.
299	299	8 (E) Notwithstanding any other provision of this
300	300	9 Article, the monthly Tier 2 surviving spouse's annuity
301	301	10 under subdivision (A) or (B) of this paragraph (1)
302	302	11 shall be increased on the January 1 next occurring
303	303	12 after (i) attainment of age 60 by the recipient of the
304	304	13 Tier 2 surviving spouse's annuity or (ii) the first
305	305	14 anniversary of the Tier 2 surviving spouse's annuity
306	306	15 start date, whichever is later, and on each January 1
307	307	16 thereafter, by 3% or one-half the annual unadjusted
308	308	17 percentage increase (but not less than zero) in the
309	309	18 consumer price index-u for the 12 months ending with
310	310	19 the September preceding each November 1, whichever is
311	311	20 less, of the originally granted Tier 2 surviving
312	312	21 spouse's annuity. If the unadjusted percentage change
313	313	22 in the consumer price index-u for a 12-month period
314	314	23 ending in September is zero or, when compared with the
315	315	24 preceding period, decreases, then the annuity shall
316	316	25 not be increased.

402	402	3 provisions of this Section, as enacted by Public Act 96-1495,
403	403	4 require clarification relating to necessary eligibility
404	404	5 standards and the manner of determining and paying the
405	405	6 intended Tier 2 benefits and contributions in order to enable
406	406	7 the Fund to unambiguously implement and administer benefits
407	407	8 for Tier 2 members. The changes to this Section and the
408	408	9 conforming changes to Sections 5-153, 5-155, 5-163, 5-167.1
409	409	10 (except for the changes to subsection (a) of that Section),
410	410	11 5-169, and 5-170 made by this amendatory Act of the 99th
411	411	12 General Assembly are enacted to clarify the provisions of this
412	412	13 Section as enacted by Public Act 96-1495, and are hereby
413	413	14 declared to represent and be consistent with the original and
414	414	15 continuing intent of this Section and Public Act 96-1495.
415	415	16 (e) The changes to Sections 5-153, 5-155, 5-163, 5-167.1
416	416	17 (except for the changes to subsection (a) of that Section),
417	417	18 5-169, and 5-170 made by this amendatory Act of the 99th
418	418	19 General Assembly are intended to be retroactive to January 1,
419	419	20 2011 (the effective date of Public Act 96-1495) and, for the
420	420	21 purposes of Section 1-103.1 of this Code, they apply without
421	421	22 regard to whether the relevant policeman was in service on or
422	422	23 after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 99th
423	423	24 General Assembly.
