CONSTITUTION BALLOT
PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE 1970 ILLINOIS CONSTITUTION
Explanation of Amendment
Upon approval by the voters, the proposed amendment, which takes effect
on January 9, 2013, adds a new section to the General Provisions Article of
the Illinois Constitution. The new section would require a three-fifths majority
vote of each chamber of the General Assembly, or the governing body of a
unit of local government, school district, or pension or retirement system, in
order to increase a benefit under any public pension or retirement system. At
the general election to be held on November 6, 2012, you will be called upon
to decide whether the proposed amendment should become part of the
Illinois Constitution.
If you believe the Illinois Constitution should be amended to require a threefifths
majority vote in order to increase a benefit under any public pension or
retirement system, you should vote “YES” on the question. If you believe the
Illinois Constitution should not be amended to require a three-fifths majority
vote in order to increase a benefit under any public pension or retirement
system, you should vote “NO” on the question. Three-fifths of those voting
on the question or a majority of those voting in the election must vote “YES”
in order for the amendment to become effective on January 9, 2013.
For the proposed addition of Section 5.1 to Article XIII of the Illinois
Constitution.
