Sec. 5.08. AMENDMENTS BY GOVERNING BODY IN EVENT OF FISCAL EMERGENCY. (a) Notwithstanding Section 5.07 of this article, in the event a municipality to which this article applies has a fiscal emergency that requires an amendment to the administrative rules governing municipal contributions, the governing body may amend the administrative rules to address the emergency if the governing body:

(1) determines that the emergency exists and approves the proposed amendment by the unanimous vote of all members of the governing body; and

(2) provides written notice to the administrative head of the public retirement system at least five business days before the date the proposed amendment takes effect.

(b) On the 90th day after the date an amendment under this section takes effect and for each subsequent 90-day period while the amendment is in effect, the governing body shall determine whether the emergency continues to exist. If the governing body does not determine by a unanimous vote that the emergency continues to exist or if the governing body fails to vote on whether the emergency exists as required by this subsection, the amendment automatically expires on the date the vote is taken or on the date the vote should have been taken, as applicable.
