(a) On or before September 1, 2027 and every three years thereafter, or at the request of the Board in conjunction with any proposed changes to the amortization schedule, the Board shall consider the intent set forth in subsection 1949a(a) of this chapter and evaluate whether to modify the postretirement adjustment formula or any other benefit that may accrue to the members of the System who are in active service on or before June 30, 2022 and made contributions for the duration of fiscal year 2023 and members in active service on or after July 1, 2022 and made contributions for at least one year.
