Requires the corporate authorities of the municipality to reestablish those funds if a police officer or firefighter of the municipality seeks to establish service credit in the fund or if reestablishment of the fund is required upon a former police officer or firefighter's reinstatement of creditable service. Suspends the duty of the corporate authorities of a municipality to establish and administer a downstate police or firefighter pension fund while the fund is dissolved.
