(a) Notwithstanding the provision of any other law to the contrary, an elected officer of a unit of local government that is a participating employer under the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund shall not receive any salary or other compensation from the unit of local government if the member is receiving pension benefits from the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund under Article 7 of the Illinois Pension Code for the elected official's service in that same elected position. If an elected officer is receiving benefits from the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund on August 23, 2019 (the effective date of Public Act 101-544), the elected official's salary and compensation shall be reduced to zero at the beginning of the member's next term if the member is still receiving such pension benefits.
