AI Summary
This bill amends the State Employees Group Insurance Act of 1971 and the Illinois Pension Code to modify definitions related to retirement and group insurance benefits, specifically for community college employees. The bill expands the definition of "community college benefit recipient" to include people receiving retirement income from a self-managed plan account under the State Universities Article of the Illinois Pension Code. It also clarifies that for participants in the self-managed plan, retirement begins when the participant is eligible for retirement under the applicable pension code articles and starts receiving retirement income from their self-managed plan account. The changes aim to provide more precise language around retirement status and eligibility for group insurance benefits, particularly for community college employees who may have alternative retirement arrangements like self-managed plan accounts. This update helps ensure that employees who choose different retirement options can still access group insurance benefits consistent with traditional retirement pathways.
