House Sponsors: DURKIN. Short description: PEN CD-CHGO TCHR-ERI-STRIKERS Synopsis of Bill as introduced: Amends the Chicago Teacher Article of the Illinois Pension Code to allow a person who began receiving early retirement benefits in 1994 to purchase additional service credit for up to 3 weeks in 1968 during which the person was prevented from working due to civil unrest. Requires an additional employee contribution. Makes payment of the resulting increase in retirement annuity payable retroactively from the date of retirement. Amends the State Mandates Act to require implementation without reimbursement. Effective immediately. PENSION NOTE (Illinois Pension Laws Commission) The fiscal impact of HB 1716 cannot be determined, as the amount of service credit that would be established is unknown. The fiscal impact is estimated to be minor, as the time period for which service could be established is limited to January 1968.
