Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Amends the Illinois Public Labor Relations Act. Exempts the changes made to the Illinois Pension Code under this amendatory Act from provisions providing that, if there is a conflict between the Act and any other law, the provisions of the Act or any collective bargaining agreement negotiated under the Act shall prevail and control. Amends the Illinois Pension Code. Makes changes applicable to persons who first become employees and participants under any system under the Code, other than a downstate police or downstate firefighter pension fund, the Chicago Police pension fund, the Chicago Firemen pension fund, or the Retirement Plan for Chicago Transit Authority Employees or service as a SLEP under IMRF, on or after the effective date of the amendatory Act concerning the following: conditions for retirement, calculation of salary, annual increases, survivor's annuities, and application of alternative formula provisions. Amends the Chicago Teacher Article of the Illinois Pension Code. Sets forth a new employer contribution schedule. Amends the State Mandates Act to require implementation without reimbursement. Contains a severability clause. Provides that certain provisions are effective immediately.

 Fiscal Note, House Floor Amendment No. 4 (State Universities Retirement Systems)
 SB 1946 (H-AM 4) does not impact the fiscal year 2011 certified employer contribution amount due to the State Universities Retirement System. The impact on costs in future years has yet to be determined.

 State Debt Impact Note, House Floor Amendment No. 4 (Government Forecasting & Accountability)
 SB (H-AM 4) would not change the amount of authorization for any type of State-issued or State-supported bond, and, therefore, would not affect the level of State indebtedness.

 Pension Note, House Floor Amendment No. 4 (Government Forecasting & Accountability)
 The Commission's actuary completed an earlier similar analysis of this retirement age change together with a maximum pension salary of $150,000 which determined total savings of $43.86 billion and a net present value reduction of $9.75 billion for the State systems only. In addition, an earlier analysis of the COLA change contained in SB 1946 (H-AM 4) determined an additional savings of $12.31 billion. The savings associated with the COLA change is likely to be less than this amount as the actuary's cost study assumed the COLA change without change the current retirement age.
