AI Summary
This bill amends the Illinois Pension Code to incorporate the Retirement Systems Reciprocal Act (Article 20) specifically for Chicago firefighters who become eligible to receive retirement or survivor's annuities on or after the effective date of the bill. The bill allows eligible firefighters to elect to proceed under the Retirement Systems Reciprocal Act, which likely provides provisions for combining pension credits or benefits across different retirement systems. Additionally, the bill modifies the State Mandates Act to specify that the state is not required to reimburse local governments for implementing this legislative change. By creating a new section (6-235) in the Illinois Pension Code, the bill provides a targeted extension of reciprocal retirement benefits for Chicago firefighters, giving them more flexibility in how they can manage and potentially maximize their pension benefits.
