2		Development Authority, however, may be entered into for any

12		Board prior to entering into any extension or renewal if the
13		cost associated with the extension or renewal exceeds $249,999.
14		The Procurement Policy Board may object to the proposed
15		extension or renewal within 30 calendar days and require a
16		hearing before the Board prior to entering into the extension
17		or renewal. If the Procurement Policy Board does not object

21		This subsection does not apply to any emergency procurement,

20		offices of Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Attorney General,
21		Secretary of State, Comptroller, or Treasurer and State
22		agencies, as defined under Section 5-15 of the Civil

9		percentage increase (but not less than zero) in the consumer
10		price index-u for the 12 months ending with the September
11		preceding each November 1, including all previous adjustments.
12		For the purposes of this Section, "consumer price index-u"

23		unadjusted percentage increase (but not less than zero) in the
24		consumer price index-u for the 12 months ending with the
25		September preceding each November 1, whichever is less, of the
26		originally granted retirement annuity. If the annual

1		unadjusted percentage change in the consumer price index-u for
2		the 12 months ending with the September preceding each November
3		1 is zero or there is a decrease, then the annuity shall not be
4		increased.
5		(f) The initial survivor's or widow's annuity of an
6		otherwise eligible survivor or widow of a retired member or
7		participant who first became a member or participant on or
8		after January 1, 2011 shall be in the amount of 66 2/3% of the
9		retired member's or participant's retirement annuity at the
10		date of death. In the case of the death of a member or
11		participant who has not retired and who first became a member
12		or participant on or after January 1, 2011, eligibility for a
13		survivor's or widow's annuity shall be determined by the
14		applicable Article of this Code. The initial benefit shall be
15		66 2/3% of the earned annuity without a reduction due to age. A
