HB 1700

Abstract

Amends the Chicago Laborers Article of the Illinois Pension Code. Provides that the annual annuity increase for a person first employed under the Article on or after the effective date shall be at a rate of 3% of the original fixed annuity (instead of 3% of the current payable monthly annuity). Provides that the city council of the city shall levy a tax annually upon all taxable property in the city at a rate that will produce a sum that will be sufficient to bring the total assets of the Laborers' and Retirement Board Employees' Annuity and Benefit Fund up to 90% of the total actuarial liabilities of the Fund by the end of fiscal year 2016 (instead of a sum that will be sufficient for the requirements of the Article, with a maximum provided). Amends the State Mandates Act to require implementation without reimbursement.
