Senate Sponsors: MADIGAN,R-BOMKE. Short description: PEN CD-SERS-SERVICE CREDIT Synopsis of Bill as introduced: Amends the State Employee Article of the Illinois Pension Code. Allows purchase of service credit for certain periods of leave of absence beginning before 1982 and lasting up to 2 years. Allows a member who is an active contributor to another reciprocal system to establish service credit for certain periods, including certain periods of military service not interrupting employment. Bases the contribution rate on the type of service to be established. Also makes technical changes. Effective immediately. PENSION NOTE (Pension Laws Commission) The fiscal impact of SB 68 cannot be determined as the amount of service credit that would be purchased is unknown. The fis- cal impact is expected to be minor, as the employee must pay both the employee and employer contributions, plus interest calculated from the beginning of the leave of absence to the date of payment.
