C. A county may adopt a plan amendment or other modification that increases retirement benefits or that would otherwise increase the unfunded actuarial accrued liability of the retirement plan if the county provides concurrent funding for the plan amendment or other proposed plan modification. D. Before a county described by this section adopts a plan amendment or other plan modification, the proposed plan amendment or other plan modification shall be reviewed by a qualified actuary who shall prepare an impact statement with respect to the proposed plan amendment or other plan modification. The actuary shall provide the impact statement to the plan administrator, if applicable, and to the county clerk of the county maintaining the retirement plan. E. If the impact statement prepared by the actuary determines that the proposed plan amendment or other plan modification would increase the unfunded actuarial accrued liability of the county retirement plan, the county shall not adopt or implement the amendment or other modification unless the county provides concurrent funding.
