Requires certain payroll records to report any salary paid by an employer if that salary is compensation for validated service and is exclusive of salary for overtime, special services, or any employment on an optional basis. Provides that a charter school's pension officer shall be responsible for certifying all payroll information, including certified sick days payable pursuant to a certain provision of the Chicago Teacher Article. In a provision concerning cancellation of pensions in the case of re-employment as a teacher, provides that a pension will not be cancelled if the person does not work as a teacher for compensation on more than 100 days in a school year or (instead of "and") does not accept gross compensation in excess of $30,000. Requires the employer (instead of the Board of Education) to certify to the Fund the status and compensation of each re-employed pensioner. Amends the State Mandates Act to require implementation without reimbursement. Effective immediately.
