PEN CD-TRS-SALARY INCREASES

Summary

The bill changes the Illinois pension code so that salary increases given to downstate teachers for overload work—such as extra classes or summer school—will not trigger additional employer pension contributions, provided the district certifies the work and the increase does not exceed the teacher’s regular classroom rate. It applies to raises starting on or after July 1 2025 and is intended to reduce costs for school districts while still rewarding teachers for extra instructional duties.
