Senate Sponsors: LUECHTEFELD. Short description: PEN CD-TRANSFER CHESTER TCHRS Synopsis of Bill as introduced: Amends the Illinois Pension Code. In the case of DHS security employees who are teachers, allows current employees to elect (and requires future hires) to participate in the State Employees' Retirement System rather than the Teachers' Retirement System; authorizes persons so electing to transfer credits for previous service in that capacity. Effective immediately. PENSION NOTE (Pension Laws Commission) The fiscal impact of SB 182 cannot be determined, as the amount of service credit that would be transferred from TRS to SERS is unknown. The fiscal impact is estimated to be minor, as the person transferring the service credit is required to pay to SERS the employee and employer contributions, plus interest (less the amount transferred from TRS).
