HB 5377

Abstract

Amends the Illinois Pension Code in relation to the 5 State-funded retirement systems. Decreases annual increases (COLAs) for certain persons who first became participants before January 1, 2011 and did not begin to receive a retirement annuity before the effective date of this amendatory Act. Provides that the automatic annual increases shall be (1) 3% of the first $50,000 of the annual total annuity payable at the time of the increase, and (2) if the annual total annuity payable at the time of the increase exceeds $50,000, a percentage of that excess equal to the lesser of 3% or one-half of the annual unadjusted percentage increase (but not less than zero) in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers.
