PUBLIC EMPLOYEE BENEFITS-TECH

HB 1666 amends a definition section in the Illinois Pension Code to clarify technical language, with no changes to actual benefit structures or eligibility. It specifically revises Section 1-101.1 of the Pension Code, which defines terms used throughout the law, to correct or standardize wording. This technical adjustment directly affects how pension code provisions are interpreted but does not alter any benefits, funding, or rules for public employees. The bill is a routine clarification, not a policy change, and applies to all Illinois public pension systems governed by the code. It was recently introduced in the Illinois General Assembly but has not yet advanced beyond initial committee referral.
