What this bill does
Amends the Downstate Teacher and Chicago Teacher Articles of the Illinois Pension Code.

Provides that an employer must notify a board if a retiring member has been accused of sexually abusing a student. Provides that a board may, through an administrative hearing, review the claim of sexual abuse and may order that benefits be forfeited.
