Short description: 
PEN CD-IMRF-SLEP DISABILITY                                                

Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Amends the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund (IMRF) Article           
   of the Illinois Pension Code. Increases the basic disability benefit        
   for a sheriff's law enforcement employee whose disability is the re-        
   sult of sickness, accident, or injury incurred in or resulting from         
   the performance of an act of duty, from 50% to 65% of final rate of         
   earnings. Amends the State Mandates Act to require implementation           
   without reimbursement. Effective immediately.                               
          PENSION NOTE (Illinois Pension Laws Commission)                      
          An actuarial cost estimate is not available. The effect of           
          HB 962 on individual employers will vary according to the num-       
          ber of current and future duty disabilitants. Currently, duty        
          disability benefits for SLEP and regular employees of IMRF are       
          equal to 50% of the salary received at the time of disability.       
          HB 962 provides a duty disability benefit of 65% of salary for       
          SLEP employees, but does not change the duty disability amount       
          for regular IMRF members.
