1 AN ACT to amend the Illinois Pension Code and the State
2 Mandates Act.
3 Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
4 represented in the General Assembly:
5 Section 5. The Illinois Pension Code is amended by
6 changing Sections 3-110, 3-111, 3-111.1, 3-112, 3-113.1,
7 3-114.1, 3-114.2, 3-114.3, 3-114.6, and 3-125.1 as follows:
8 (40 ILCS 5/3-110) (from Ch. 108 1/2, par. 3-110)
9 Sec. 3-110. Creditable service.
10 (a) "Creditable service" is the time served by a police
11 officer as a member of a regularly constituted police force
12 of a municipality. In computing creditable service furloughs
13 without pay exceeding 30 days shall not be counted, but all
14 leaves of absence for illness or accident, regardless of
15 length, and all periods of disability retirement for which a
16 police officer has received no disability pension payments
17 under this Article shall be counted.
18 (a-5) Up to 3 years of time during which the police
19 officer receives a disability pension under Section 3-114.1,
20 3-114.2, 3-114.3, or 3-114.6 shall be counted as creditable
21 service, provided that (i) the police officer returns to
22 active service after the disability for a period at least
23 equal to the period for which credit is to be established and
24 (ii) the police officer makes contributions to the fund based
25 on the rates specified in Section 3-125.1 and the salary upon
26 which the disability pension is based. These contributions
27 may be paid at any time prior to the commencement of a
28 retirement pension. The police officer may, but need not,
29 elect to have the contributions deducted from the disability
30 pension or to pay them in installments on a schedule approved
31 by the board. If not deducted from the disability pension,
-2- LRB9109338EGfg
1 the contributions shall include interest at the rate of 6%
2 per year, compounded annually, from the date for which
3 service credit is being established to the date of payment.
4 If contributions are paid under this subsection (a-5) in
5 excess of those needed to establish the credit, the excess
6 shall be refunded. This subsection (a-5) applies to persons
7 receiving a disability pension under Section 3-114.1,
8 3-114.2, 3-114.3, or 3-114.6 on the effective date of this
9 amendatory Act of the 91st General Assembly, as well as
10 persons who begin to receive such a disability pension after
11 that date.
12 (b) Creditable service includes all periods of service
13 in the military, naval or air forces of the United States
14 entered upon while an active police officer of a
15 municipality, provided that upon applying for a permanent
16 pension, and in accordance with the rules of the board, the
17 police officer pays into the fund the amount the officer
18 would have contributed if he or she had been a regular
19 contributor during such period, to the extent that the
20 municipality which the police officer served has not made
21 such contributions in the officer's behalf. The total amount
22 of such creditable service shall not exceed 5 years, except
23 that any police officer who on July 1, 1973 had more than 5
24 years of such creditable service shall receive the total
25 amount thereof.
26 (c) Creditable service also includes service rendered by
27 a police officer while on leave of absence from a police
28 department to serve as an executive of an organization whose
29 membership consists of members of a police department,
30 subject to the following conditions: (i) the police officer
31 is a participant of a fund established under this Article
32 with at least 10 years of service as a police officer; (ii)
33 the police officer received no credit for such service under
34 any other retirement system, pension fund, or annuity and
-3- LRB9109338EGfg
1 benefit fund included in this Code; (iii) pursuant to the
2 rules of the board the police officer pays to the fund the
3 amount he or she would have contributed had the officer been
4 an active member of the police department; and (iv) the
5 organization pays a contribution equal to the municipality's
6 normal cost for that period of service.
7 (d)(1) Creditable service also includes periods of
8 service originally established in another police pension fund
9 under this Article or in the Fund established under Article 7
10 of this Code for which (i) the contributions have been
11 transferred under Section 3-110.7 or Section 7-139.9 and (ii)
12 any additional contribution required under paragraph (2) of
13 this subsection has been paid in full in accordance with the
14 requirements of this subsection (d).
15 (2) If the board of the pension fund to which creditable
16 service and related contributions are transferred under
17 Section 3-110.7 or 7-139.9 determines that the amount
18 transferred is less than the true cost to the pension fund of
19 allowing that creditable service to be established, then in
20 order to establish that creditable service the police officer
21 must pay to the pension fund, within the payment period
22 specified in paragraph (3) of this subsection, an additional
23 contribution equal to the difference, as determined by the
24 board in accordance with the rules and procedures adopted
25 under paragraph (6) of this subsection.
26 (3) Except as provided in paragraph (4), the additional
27 contribution must be paid to the board (i) within 5 years
28 from the date of the transfer of contributions under Section
29 3-110.7 or 7-139.9 and (ii) before the police officer
30 terminates service with the fund. The additional
31 contribution may be paid in a lump sum or in accordance with
32 a schedule of installment payments authorized by the board.
33 (4) If the police officer dies in service before payment
34 in full has been made and before the expiration of the 5-year
-4- LRB9109338EGfg
1 payment period, the surviving spouse of the officer may elect
2 to pay the unpaid amount on the officer's behalf within 6
3 months after the date of death, in which case the creditable
4 service shall be granted as though the deceased police
5 officer had paid the remaining balance on the day before the
6 date of death.
7 (5) If the additional contribution is not paid in full
8 within the required time, the creditable service shall not be
9 granted and the police officer (or the officer's surviving
10 spouse or estate) shall be entitled to receive a refund of
11 (i) any partial payment of the additional contribution that
12 has been made by the police officer and (ii) those portions
13 of the amounts transferred under subdivision (a)(1) of
14 Section 3-110.7 or subdivisions (a)(1) and (a)(3) of Section
15 7-139.9 that represent employee contributions paid by the
16 police officer (but not the accumulated interest on those
17 contributions) and interest paid by the police officer to the
18 prior pension fund in order to reinstate service terminated
19 by acceptance of a refund.
20 Transferred credit that is not granted due to failure to
21 pay the additional contribution within the required time is
22 lost; it may not be transferred to another pension fund and
23 may not be reinstated in the pension fund from which it was
24 transferred.
25 (6) The Public Employee Pension Fund Division of the
26 Department of Insurance shall establish by rule the manner of
27 making the calculation required under paragraph (2) of this
28 subsection, taking into account the appropriate actuarial
29 assumptions; the police officer's service, age, and salary
30 history; the level of funding of the pension fund to which
31 the credits are being transferred; and any other factors that
32 the Division determines to be relevant. The rules may
33 require that all calculations made under paragraph (2) be
34 reported to the Division by the board performing the
-5- LRB9109338EGfg
1 calculation, together with documentation of the creditable
2 service to be transferred, the amounts of contributions and
3 interest to be transferred, the manner in which the
4 calculation was performed, the numbers relied upon in making
5 the calculation, the results of the calculation, and any
6 other information the Division may deem useful.

3 (a) This Section applies only to police officers who are
4 employed by a municipality with a combined police and fire
5 department and who have regular firefighting duties in
6 addition to their law enforcement duties.
7 (b) The General Assembly finds that service in a police

9 officers to perform unusual tasks in times of stress and
10 danger; that officers are subject to exposure to extreme heat
11 or extreme cold in certain seasons while performing their

10 impairment of the heart, lungs, or respiratory tract, or the
11 existence of cancer, the officer shall not be entitled to an
12 occupational disease disability pension under this Section
13 unless and until a subsequent examination reveals no such
14 impairment or cancer.

20 to receive if he or she retired (but not including any
21 automatic annual increase in that retirement pension).
22 The occupational disease disability pension is payable to
23 the officer during the period of the disability. If the
24 disability ceases before the death of the officer, the
25 disability pension payable under this Section shall also
26 cease and the officer thereafter shall receive such pension
27 benefits as are provided in accordance with other provisions
28 of this Article.
29 If an officer dies while still disabled and receiving a
30 disability pension under this Section, the disability pension
31 shall continue to be paid to the officer's survivors in the
32 sequence provided in Section 3-112.
