House Bill 3695 Passes Illinois House 

House Bill 3695 cleared a major hurdle on April 14, 2015, when it passed out of the Illinois House on a vote of 102 to 9. The legislation reinstates the pension tax levy diverted from CTPF in 1995. 

The bill will now be considered in the Illinois Senate where it is being sponsored by Sen. Mattie Hunter (D-Chicago). 

"We are pleased to see this bill favorably received by the Illinois House and look forward to its favorable consideration in the Senate," said Charles A. Burbridge, CTPF executive director.
