Bill > SB0682

This bill makes a technical amendment to Section 14-126 of the Illinois Pension Code, which addresses retirement benefits for state employees receiving nonoccupational disability benefits. Specifically, the bill removes a redundant "and" in the text describing the conditions under which a disabled employee can receive a retirement annuity. Under the existing law, an employee with 15 or more years of creditable service who has reached at least age 55, or an employee with 20 or more years of creditable service who has reached at least age 50, can receive a retirement annuity if they remain disabled after exhausting their nonoccupational disability benefits. The bill does not substantively change the eligibility requirements or benefits, but rather appears to be a minor grammatical correction to improve the clarity of the statutory language. This type of technical amendment is common in legislative practice to ensure precise and accurate statutory text.
