In a major legislative victory for PBPA members and other peace officers employed by the state outside of ISP HB 2600 sponsored by Rep. Daniel Burke (D-Chicago) passed out of the House Pension and Personnel Committee unanimously!
This bill will place police officers hired after 1/1/11 – including Conservation Police and Capitol Police back under the state’s alternative pension formula for law enforcement.
We will continue to push this measure on the House floor.
