I read on the site of the Chicago Tribune that upon turning 75 Card. George has submitted his letter of resignation to the Holy Father. He does not expect the letter to be accepted for at least two years.
Can. 401 §1 of the Code of Canon Law states that diocesan bishops must submit their resignation to the Holy Father on reaching the age of 75.
The Pope can choose not to accept the resignation as it pleaseth.
