5    Sec. 14-152.1. Application and expiration of new benefit
6increases.
7    (a) As used in this Section, "new benefit increase" means
8an increase in the amount of any benefit provided under this
9Article, or an expansion of the conditions of eligibility for
10any benefit under this Article, that results from an amendment
11to this Code that takes effect after June 1, 2005 (the
12effective date of Public Act 94-4). "New benefit increase",
13however, does not include any benefit increase resulting from
14the changes made to Article 1 or this Article by Public Act
1596-37, Public Act 100-23, or this amendatory Act of the 100th
16General Assembly or by this amendatory Act of the 100th General
17Assembly.
18    (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Code or any
19subsequent amendment to this Code, every new benefit increase
20is subject to this Section and shall be deemed to be granted
21only in conformance with and contingent upon compliance with
22the provisions of this Section.
23    (c) The Public Act enacting a new benefit increase must
24identify and provide for payment to the System of additional
25funding at least sufficient to fund the resulting annual

 

 

HB5611 Engrossed- 82 -LRB100 20507 RJF 35882 b

1increase in cost to the System as it accrues.
2    Every new benefit increase is contingent upon the General
3Assembly providing the additional funding required under this
4subsection. The Commission on Government Forecasting and
5Accountability shall analyze whether adequate additional
6funding has been provided for the new benefit increase and
7shall report its analysis to the Public Pension Division of the
8Department of Insurance. A new benefit increase created by a
9Public Act that does not include the additional funding
10required under this subsection is null and void. If the Public
11Pension Division determines that the additional funding
12provided for a new benefit increase under this subsection is or
13has become inadequate, it may so certify to the Governor and
14the State Comptroller and, in the absence of corrective action
15by the General Assembly, the new benefit increase shall expire
16at the end of the fiscal year in which the certification is
17made.
18    (d) Every new benefit increase shall expire 5 years after
19its effective date or on such earlier date as may be specified
20in the language enacting the new benefit increase or provided
21under subsection (c). This does not prevent the General
22Assembly from extending or re-creating a new benefit increase
23by law.
24    (e) Except as otherwise provided in the language creating
25the new benefit increase, a new benefit increase that expires
26under this Section continues to apply to persons who applied

 

 

HB5611 Engrossed- 83 -LRB100 20507 RJF 35882 b

1and qualified for the affected benefit while the new benefit
2increase was in effect and to the affected beneficiaries and
3alternate payees of such persons, but does not apply to any
4other person, including without limitation a person who
5continues in service after the expiration date and did not
6apply and qualify for the affected benefit while the new
7benefit increase was in effect.
