Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Downstate Teacher Article of the Illinois Pension Code. Provides that a person who is employed by a private business enterprise engaged in the business of providing schools with temporary substitute teachers is not a "teacher" and is neither entitled to service credit nor required to make employee contributions with respect to that employment. Amends the School Code. Provides that a school board may contract with a private business entity to train and provide qualified temporary substitute teachers, and that those qualified temporary substitute teachers may be employees of the private business entity rather than employees of the school board. Effective July 1, 2003.

	Pension Note (Pension Laws Commission)
	The fiscal impact cannot be determined. There would be a fiscal impact as substitute teachers who are now required to participate in TRS would not be required to become TRS members.

	Fiscal Note (State Board of Education)
	No fiscal impact.

Fiscal Note (Teachers' Retirement System)

There will be no change in the state contributions to the Teachers' Retirement System as a result of this legislation. However, increased state contributions to TRS will be required if teachers that are employed with a temporary employment agency seek to purchase the credit at a later date. Contributions that are required for the purchase of optional service credit covers seventy-nine cents for every dollar of actual cost. Approximately 3,500 substitute teachers become full-time teachers every year.
