          PENSION NOTE (Illinois Pension Laws Commission)                      
          The fiscal impact of HB 3136 cannot be determined, as the num-       
          ber of additional widows who would qualify for a widow's             
          annuity cannot be determined. The fiscal impact is expected to       
          be minimal.
