<SynopsisText>HB 1551 would require some airport authorities and park districts to make higher employer contributions, as some IMRF members that are currently covered by the regular IMRF formula would instead be eligible for  the SLEP formula. As the SLEP formula provides higher benefits, higher employee and employer contributions are also required.</SynopsisText></synopsis>
