Provides that an annuitant shall not receive an automatic increase in retirement annuity on or after the effective date of the amendatory Act unless, according to the most recent actuarial valuations, the total assets of the System are equal to or greater than 100% of the total actuarial liabilities of the System. Establishes a schedule for vesting in the self-directed retirement plan. Requires the Public Pension Division's retirement age matrix to proportionally discount the increase in statutory retirement age based on proximity to the currently established retirement age.
