CTPF’s 2026 legislative priorities include aligning contributor 
election petition deadlines, strengthening payroll record retention 
to support audit authority, and advancing legislation to raise the 
health insurance reimbursement subsidy cap from $65 million 
to $100 million to help protect retiree coverage from cost increases. 
“This legislative agenda is essential to CTPF’s day-to-day operations and to the 
retirement security our members count on. From improving payroll record retention 
that supports accurate benefits administration, to protecting retiree health insurance 
coverage, these measures help keep the Fund running efficiently and ensure members 
receive the benefits they have earned,” said Executive Director Carlton W. Lenoir, Sr.  
Current legislation advancing these priorities includes HB 4575/SB 2818 (electoral 
petition deadline fix) and HB 4576/SB 2861 (payroll record retention), which passed the 
House Personnel and Pensions Committee with strong bipartisan support. The measures 
were supported by testimony from Executive Director Carlton Lenoir, Sr. and hundreds 
of witness slips filed by Trustees, members, and stakeholders. Both bills moved to the 
full House, where continued bipartisan backing is expected. SB 2818 and SB 2861 have 
both passed out of committee with favorable recommendations. A subject matter 
hearing on HB 4396/SB 1893, highlighting the importance of this bill, will be held in May.

During their March 19, 2026, meeting, 
the CTPF Board of Trustees adopted a 
resolution thanking Illinois Attorney

The action follows the March 13, 2026,

involving the theft of more than $100,000           
in CTPF pension benefits. 
“This resolution reflects our Board’s 
commitment to safeguarding the integrity 
of the Fund and protecting the benefits 
our members have earned,” said Jacquelyn 
Price Ward, President of the CTPF Board of Trustees. “We appreciate Attorney General 
Raoul and his office for their diligence in pursuing this case and for reinforcing the 
message that pension fraud will be taken seriously and prosecuted.” Read the
