Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund (IMRF) Article of the Illinois Pension Code. Deletes a provision that requires the authorized agent of a participating municipality or participating instrumentality to be a member of the fund. Deletes a provision that prohibited certain employers from electing a 1,000-hour participation standard based on their original date of participation. Authorizes retired members who return to work for an IMRF employer to keep their pension even if employed in a position requiring less than the employer's standard for participation in IMRF. Amends the State Mandates Act to require implementation without reimbursement. Effective immediately.
