On May 6, 2026, CTPF Trustees and staff held a successful lobby 
day in Springfield, Ill. The event educated lawmakers about CTPF’s 
legislative priorities and included a subject matter hearing on the 
health insurance funding bill HB 4396. Executive Director 
Carlton W. Lenoir, Sr., Trustee Maria J. Rodriguez, Recording 
Secretary Lois Nelson, and Vice President Quentin S. Washington, 
offered in-person testimony urging lawmakers to advance the bill. The testimony was 
supported by more than 800 witness slips filed by CTPF members and stakeholders.  
“Our lobby day in Springfield ensured that 
our members’ needs were brought directly 
before lawmakers and that our collective 
voice was heard in support of our legislative 
priorities, in particular our Health Insurance 
funding bill HB 4396,” said Executive Director 
Carlton W. Lenoir, Sr. “Standing together 
reinforces the importance of this legislation 
and underscores the real impact these 
decisions have on our retirees.”  
NEW LAWS SIGNED BY GOVERNOR 
PRITZKER 
On June 26, 2026, Governor J.B. Pritzker signed HB 4575, now PA 104-0498 into law. 
The legislation widens the filing period for CTPF Trustee elections and became 
effective immediately upon signing.   
HB 4576, now PA 104-0614, requires employers to retain payroll records for at least           
five years, aligning recordkeeping requirements with CTPF’s audit needs and ensuring 
the Fund has access to the records necessary to conduct employer audits and verify 
pension-related reporting and contributions.
