Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Chicago Teacher Article of the Illinois Pension Code. Directs the Fund to conduct a divided medicare coverage referendum, open to teachers continuously employed by the same employer since March 31, 1986. Allows eligible teachers to irrevocably elect to participate in the federal medicare program. Amends the State Mandates Act to require implementation without reimbursement. Effective immediately.

 Pension Note (Government Forecasting & Accountability)
 House Bill 230 would not impact the total accrued liability of the Chicago Teachers' Pension fund, but it may reduce the cost of reimbursing Fund retirees for the cost of health insurance.

 State Mandates Fiscal Note (Illinois State Board of Education)
 This legislation has no impact on the Illinois State Board of Education, but requires the Chicago Public School employers to contribute the mandatory 1.45% to medicare per participant electing to opt into the program. If all teachers eligible opted in it would cost approximately $7 million dollars per year which will decrease as work force diminishes over time.
