Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Illinois Pension Code in relation to the 5 State-funded retirement systems. Decreases annual increases (COLAs) for certain persons who first became participants before January 1, 2011 and did not begin to receive a retirement annuity before the effective date of this amendatory Act. Provides that the automatic annual increases shall be (1) 3% of the first $50,000 of the annual total annuity payable at the time of the increase, and (2) if the annual total annuity payable at the time of the increase exceeds $50,000, a percentage of that excess equal to the lesser of 3% or one-half of the annual unadjusted percentage increase (but not less than zero) in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers.

 Pension Note (Government Forecasting & Accountability)
 The Commission's actuary estimates that HB 5377 would reduce State contributions to TRS by $10-$14 billion between FY 2013 and FY 2045. The total savings for all five State systems combined would likely be in the $20-$28 billion range over the same time period.
