WHEREAS, section 7-198 of the Illinois Pension Code authorizes the Board of Trustees of the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund to establish rules necessary or desirable for the efficient administration of the Fund; and

WHEREAS, P.A. 96-0961 amends sections 7-142 and 7-142.1 of the Pension Code to allow certain elected county officials to adjust their IMRF earnings record to reflect state stipends not funded or paid during the State of Illinois FY 2010; and
