HB 131 -- Local Government Employees' Retirement System

Sponsor:  Deeken

This bill gives jurisdiction over any dispute regarding the Local
Government Employees' Retirement System (LAGERS) to the circuit
court of Cole County.

The bill suspends full-time student benefits under LAGERS during
any period of military duty.  Upon the student's return to
school, the benefits will be reinstated.  The student's benefit
period will be extended by the number of months of military
service.

Under current law, a disability allowance under LAGERS is
adjusted by the amount of workers' compensation benefit, federal
social security insurance, or other monthly personal service
received for any gainful employment.  The bill repeals this
section of law and allows the full disability allowance.
