Short description: PEN CD-IMRF-SLEP CREDITS Synopsis of Bill as introduced: Amends the Downstate Police and Illinois Municipal (IMRF) Arti- cles of the Illinois Pension Code. Allows certain sheriff's law enfor- cement employees (SLEPs) to convert up to 10 years of regular IMRF credits for employment as a sworn member of the police department of a city, village, or incorporated town with a population under 5,000 into SLEP credits. Allows SLEPs to transfer up to 10 years of service cred- it from a downstate police pension fund to IMRF. Amends the State Man- dates Act to require implementation without reimburserment. Effective immediately. PENSION NOTE (Pension Laws Comm.) The fiscal impact of HB 1794 cannot be calculated, as the amount of service credit that would be transferred or converted to SLEP service is unknown. There may be a fiscal impact if the required contributions do not fully address the entire cost of the established SLEP service credit.
