Senate Sponsors: CLAYBORNE. Short description: PENCD-SERS-IL DEFENDER PROJECT Synopsis of Bill as introduced: Amends the State Employees Article of the Illinois Pension Code. Provides that an employee who was employed on a full-time basis by the Illinois Defender Project, an LEAA-ILEC grant project, prior to the time that the project became the Office of the State Appellate Defender, may establish creditable service for not more than 48 months of that employment by making certain contributions. Effective immediately. PENSION NOTE (Illinois Pension Laws Commission) The fiscal impact of SB 1790 is expected to be small as few employees would be eligible to purchase service credit. There would be a cost to the System, as the member is required to make only the employee contributions, plus interest.
