DAVIS,STEVE. 40 ILCS 5/7-109.3 from Ch. 108 1/2, par. 7-109.3 40 ILCS 5/7-142.2 new 30 ILCS 805/8.26 new Amends the IMRF Article of the Illinois Pension Code. Makes county probation officers eligible for the sheriff's law enforcement employee (SLEP) formula. Allows these probation officers to convert non-SLEP service as a probation officer into SLEP credit by paying the difference in employee contributions plus interest. Includes provisions allowing the employee to have the contribution deducted from the retirement annuity in certain circumstances. Allows the employer to amortize over 5 years the liability resulting from conversions occurring in the first year. Amends the State Mandates Act to require implementation without reimbursement. Effective immediately. PENSION NOTE (Illinois Pension Laws Commission) The fiscal impact of HB 5834 cannot be determined, as the num- ber of county probation officers is unknown. Including addi- tional employees under the SLEP formula would increase IMRF costs for their employers.
