New Act

Synopsis As Introduced
Creates the Public School Teachers' Pension and Retirement Fund of Chicago Continuing Appropriation Act. Provides for appropriations from the Common School Fund to the Public School Teachers' Pension and Retirement Fund of Chicago of the amount by which the total available amount of all other appropriations to that Retirement Fund for the payment of State contributions is less than the total amount of the vouchers for required State contributions lawfully submitted by the Retirement Fund for that month under Section 17-127 of the Illinois Pension Code on a continuing monthly basis. Provides that nothing in the Act shall be construed, interpreted, or otherwise viewed to imply an authorization, desire, or intent to merge or in any other way combine the Public School Teachers' Pension and Retirement Fund of Chicago with any other pension fund. Effective immediately.

Pension Note (Commission on Gov't Forecasting and Accountability)

House Bill 2371 would create a continuing appropriation for the Chicago Teachers' Pension Fund. This would guarantee that the State would appropriate to the Fund 0.544% of payroll in years that the Fund has a funded ratio below 90%. For FY 2006 the required appropriation would be $9.9 million. Traditionally, the State contributes $65 million to the Fund, but that amount is not required by statute and would not qualify as a continuing appropriation under House Bill 2371.
