  governing body of a municipality that adopts an ordinance under
  Section 854.203 providing for increased annuities effective
  January 1 of 2024 or 2025 may elect to compute the annuity increase

  whose service the annuities are based on the effective date of the
  annuity increase multiplied by the percentage increase specified in
  the ordinance, except that an adjustment to the annuity after the
  annuity starting date for annuity increases under this subsection
  may not cause an annuitant's annuity to exceed the amount that the
  annuitant would be entitled to had the maximum amount of the annuity
  increase allowed under Section 854.203(b) been applied to the
  annuity. This subsection expires December 31, 2025.
