Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Downstate Police Article of the Illinois Pension Code. Provides that if a person who is receiving a police pension becomes employed as a chief of police, the person must so notify the pension fund paying the pension and any other fund in which the person has service credit, and the pension shall be suspended until the employment as chief terminates; if the person elects to participate in IMRF, the person must also notify IMRF of those police pension funds. Provides that if a person who is receiving a police pension enters service as a police officer with a different municipality, the person must so notify the pension fund paying the pension and the pension shall be suspended until the service terminates, unless the different municipality had a population of less than 6,000 at the time of the return to active service. Applies to persons who first enter service after the effective date of the amendatory Act.

Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Amends the Downstate Police Article of the Illinois Pension Code.

Requires each municipality to establish a defined contribution plan for certain police officers. Requires the plan to meet certain requirements, including the immediate vesting of employer contributions. Provides that if a police officer is receiving pension payments and returns to active service with any municipality, he or she shall continue to receive those pension payments, but must participate only in the municipality's defined contribution plan. Provides that if a police officer who has more than 10 years of creditable service in a fund enters active service with a different municipality, he or she may elect to participate in the defined contribution plan in lieu of participating in the defined benefit plan. Authorizes a police officer to rescind his or her election to participate in the defined contribution plan. Amends the State Mandates Act to require implementation without reimbursement. Effective immediately.

Provides that if a police officer who first becomes a member on or after January 1, 2019 is receiving pension payment and re-enters active service with any municipality that has established a pension fund under the Article (rather than any municipality), that police officer may (rather than shall) continue to receive pension payments while he or she is in active service.
