Bill > SB1752

This bill amends the Illinois Pension Code by adding a new section that grants the board of the Chicago Municipal Fund the power to reproduce its records through various digital and analog methods, including photography, microfilming, and digital or electronic reproduction, in compliance with the Local Records Act. The bill specifically stipulates that these reproduced records—whether they are photographs, microfilm, digital, or electronic copies—will be considered original records and documents for all legal purposes, including as admissible evidence in courts and administrative agencies. This provision effectively modernizes record-keeping practices by allowing the pension fund board to create and use digital copies of documents with the same legal standing as physical originals, which can help with preservation, accessibility, and efficient document management. The bill will take effect immediately upon becoming law.
