Leader Cross’ Chicago and Cook County Pension reform passes committee
HB3813 will tighten up current laws to better prevent fraud and abuse
(Springfield) Legislators in the Personnel and Pensions Committee unanimously approved a bill this afternoon that will reform the Chicago Pension Funds to make them more accountable to the taxpayers and further prevent abuses in the future.
Illinois House Republican Leader Tom Cross (R-Oswego) is the chief sponsor of House Bill 3813, which would repeal a portion of state law passed in 1991 that allowed Chicago city employees to retire with a city pension that was based on a much higher union salary. This would affect the Chicago Municipal Employees’ Pension Fund, Chicago Laborers’ Pension Fund and the Chicago Teachers’ Pension Fund. The change would only allow future union officials to accept a city pension based on their city salary when they left service. Read more
