Bill Title: Amends the Cook County Article of the Illinois Pension Code. Allows the board of the Fund to waive the required physician's proof of disability if (1) the employee has been compensated by the county for the disability or specific loss under the Workers' Compensation Act or Workers' Occupational Diseases Act or (2) the employee claims ordinary disability of up to 8 weeks for maternity. Provides that an employee who enters service after December 31, 2016 and who, while in receipt of an ordinary or duty disability benefit, assumes any employment for compensation, shall not be entitled to receive any amount of such disability benefit which, when added to his compensation for such employment during disability, plus any amount payable under the provisions of the Workers' Compensation Act or Workers' Occupational Diseases Act, would exceed the rate of salary on which his disability benefit is based. Effective immediately.
