Bill > HB0079

This bill amends the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund (IMRF) Article of the Illinois Pension Code to modify provisions regarding retirement annuities and employment. Specifically, the bill creates an exception for annuitants receiving a sheriff's law enforcement employee annuity who return to work as a school security guard. Under the new provision, such an annuitant will be considered a participating employee if they work more than 999 hours annually with a participating employer, which means they can continue to receive their retirement annuity while working in this specific role. This change provides additional flexibility for retired law enforcement employees who wish to work as school security guards, allowing them to supplement their income without completely losing their retirement benefits. The bill takes effect immediately upon becoming law, which means it can be implemented as soon as it is signed, potentially offering quick relief to eligible retired sheriff's law enforcement employees interested in working as school security guards.
