Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund (IMRF) Article of the Illinois Pension Code. Provides that if an employer fails to notify the Board to suspend the annuity of an annuitant who returns to service as a participating employee, the employer may be required to reimburse the Fund for an amount up to the total of any annuity payments made to the annuitant after the date the annuity should have been suspended, as determined by the Board, less any amount actually repaid by the annuitant. Amends the State Mandates Act to require implementation without reimbursement. Effective immediately.

Senate Floor Amendment No. 2
Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Reinserts the provisions of the introduced bill with the following changes. Provides that to be required to reimburse certain annuity payments paid to employed or re-employed annuitants, the participating employer must have knowingly failed to notify (rather than the participating employer failed to notify) the Board to suspend the annuity. Reduces the amount that the participating employer may be required to reimburse to one-half of the total of any annuity payments made to the annuitant after the date the annuity should have been suspended. Provides that in no case shall the total amount repaid by the annuitant plus any amount reimbursed by the employer to the Fund be more than the total of all annuity payments made to the annuitant after the date the annuity should have been suspended. Provides that the reimbursement provisions of the amendatory Act do not apply if the annuitant returned to work for the employer for less than 12 months. Requires the Fund to notify all annuitants of the requirement to notify the Fund if they return to work for a participating employer. Requires the Fund to develop and maintain a system to track annuitants who have returned to work. Effective immediately.
