Senate Sponsors: RADOGNO. Short description: PEN CD-CHGO POL-WIDOW INCREASE Synopsis of Bill as introduced: Amends the Chicago Police Article of the Illinois Pension Code. Provides a compounded 3% annual increase in surviving spouse annuities. Amends the State Mandates Act to require implementation without reimbursement. Effective immediately. PENSION NOTE (Pension Laws Commission) According to an analysis prepared by the Fund's actuary (based on 12/31/98 membership data), the estimated increase in accrued liability due to SB 345 is $110.9 million. The increase in normal cost is estimated to be $1.2 million and the annual payment needed to amortize the estimated increase in the accrued liability over 40 years is $5.5 million. Therefore, the estimated 1st year cost of SB 345 is $6.7 million, or 0.91% of payroll. As payroll grows, the annual cost will increase commensurate with payroll.
