Senate Sponsors: JONES,E-MOLARO. Short description: PEN CD-COOK CO-CORRECTIONAL Synopsis of Bill as introduced: Amends the Cook County Article of the Pension Code. Allows a county correctional officer to establish credit for periods spent as an officer or employee of a labor organization that represents employees. Requires payment of employee and employer contributions plus interest; waives the employer contributions if application is made before July 1, 2000. Amends the State Mandates Act to require implementation without reimbursement. Effective immediately. PENSION NOTE (Pension Laws Commission) The fiscal impact should be very minor, as only a small numb- er of persons are likely to qualify to purchase the service credit. There would be a fiscal impact as employer contribu- tions are not required if an application to purchase the ser- vice credit is received by the Fund between Jan. 1, 2000, and July 1, 2000.
