Short description: 
PEN CD-JUDGES-INCREASE BENEFIT                                             

Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Amends the Judges Article  of  the  Pension  Code.   Reduces  the      
   amount  of  the early retirement penalty for certain judges who retire      
   before attaining age 60.  Also provides that a judge who  is  eligible      
   to  receive  the  maximum rate of annuity may elect to have his or her      
   contributions to the System based only  on  the  increases  in  salary      
   received  by  the  judge  on or after the date of the election, rather      
   than the total salary received.  Effective immediately.

          liability $372,000, in total annual cost, $39,800 (0.04% of
