SB 1687 extends the effective date of Section 15-139.5 (Return to work restrictions created by PA 97-968) from August 1, 2013 to August 1, 2014. SB 1687 also provides that such provisions of Public Act 97-968 shall not apply to SURS annuitants that are “status employees” under the Civil Service system, and eliminates the “18 paid week condition” of Public Act 97-968.
