          PENSION NOTE (Illinois Pension Laws Commission)                      
          Based on the December 31, 1998 actuarial valuation, HB 4241          
          would increase the accrued liability of the Chicago Firefigh-        
          ter's Fund by an estimated $43.1 million. The level dollar           
          annual payment needed to amortize the estimated increase in          
          unfunded liability over 40 years is $3.5 million. The estimated      
          increase in normal cost is $0.6 million, or 0.23% of payroll.        
          Therefore, the estimated increase in total annual cost is $4.1       
          million, or 1.51% of payroll.
