3327	3327	4 Sec. 14-152.1. Application and expiration of new benefit
3328	3328	5 increases.
3329	3329	6 (a) As used in this Section, "new benefit increase" means
3330	3330	7 an increase in the amount of any benefit provided under this
3331	3331	8 Article, or an expansion of the conditions of eligibility for
3332	3332	9 any benefit under this Article, that results from an amendment
3333	3333	10 to this Code that takes effect after June 1, 2005 (the
3334	3334	11 effective date of Public Act 94-4). "New benefit increase",
3335	3335	12 however, does not include any benefit increase resulting from
3336	3336	13 the changes made to Article 1 or this Article by Public Act
3337	3337	14 96-37, Public Act 100-23, Public Act 100-587, Public Act

3339	3339	16 102-210, Public Act 102-856, Public Act 102-956, or this
3340	3340	17 amendatory Act of the 104th General Assembly this amendatory
3341	3341	18 Act of the 102nd General Assembly.
3342	3342	19 (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Code or
3343	3343	20 any subsequent amendment to this Code, every new benefit
3344	3344	21 increase is subject to this Section and shall be deemed to be
3345	3345	22 granted only in conformance with and contingent upon
3346	3346	23 compliance with the provisions of this Section.
3347	3347	24 (c) The Public Act enacting a new benefit increase must
3348	3348	25 identify and provide for payment to the System of additional

3359	3359	1 funding at least sufficient to fund the resulting annual
3360	3360	2 increase in cost to the System as it accrues.
3361	3361	3 Every new benefit increase is contingent upon the General
3362	3362	4 Assembly providing the additional funding required under this
3363	3363	5 subsection. The Commission on Government Forecasting and
3364	3364	6 Accountability shall analyze whether adequate additional
3365	3365	7 funding has been provided for the new benefit increase and
3366	3366	8 shall report its analysis to the Public Pension Division of
3367	3367	9 the Department of Insurance. A new benefit increase created by
3368	3368	10 a Public Act that does not include the additional funding
3369	3369	11 required under this subsection is null and void. If the Public
3370	3370	12 Pension Division determines that the additional funding
3371	3371	13 provided for a new benefit increase under this subsection is
3372	3372	14 or has become inadequate, it may so certify to the Governor and
3373	3373	15 the State Comptroller and, in the absence of corrective action
3374	3374	16 by the General Assembly, the new benefit increase shall expire
3375	3375	17 at the end of the fiscal year in which the certification is
3376	3376	18 made.
3377	3377	19 (d) Every new benefit increase shall expire 5 years after
3378	3378	20 its effective date or on such earlier date as may be specified
3379	3379	21 in the language enacting the new benefit increase or provided
3380	3380	22 under subsection (c). This does not prevent the General
3381	3381	23 Assembly from extending or re-creating a new benefit increase
3382	3382	24 by law.
3383	3383	25 (e) Except as otherwise provided in the language creating
3384	3384	26 the new benefit increase, a new benefit increase that expires
