Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund (IMRF) Article of the Illinois Pension Code. Allows a sheriff's law enforcement employee (SLEP) to convert up to 10 years of non-SLEP service credit into SLEP credit by paying the difference in employee and employer contributions, plus interest. Increases the SLEP retirement formula to 2.5% of the final rate of earnings for each year of SLEP service. Increases the maximum pension payable to a SLEP from 75% to 80% of the final rate of earnings. Removes the 2-year service requirement for earning new benefits after a return to service as a SLEP. Increases the additional employee contribution paid by SLEPs to 2.5% of salary. Also eliminates the reduction in benefit imposed on a surviving spouse who is more than 5 years younger than the deceased member, for the surviving spouse of any member who dies on or after the effective date. Amends the State Mandates Act to require implementation without reimbursement. Effective immediately.

 Pension Note (Economic and Fiscal Commission)
 According to IMRF, the formula increase provided by House Bill 5189 would increase the average annual cost of SLEP employers by an estimated 2.56% of payroll, assuming an amortization period of 28 years. The cost would be reduced by an increase in employee contributions of 0.5% salary, resulting in an average annual employer cost of 2.06% of payroll for SLEP employers. The other provisions of House Bill 5189 would have a fiscal impact, but it has not been determined. The cost estimate is based on a modified retirement rate assumption, as the formula increase provided by House Bill 5168 reduces the number of years of service required to achieve the maximum annuity of 80% of final average salary.
