1 AN ACT to amend the Illinois Pension Code by changing
2 Section 17-131 and to amend the State 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 Section 17-131 as follows:
7 (40 ILCS 5/17-131) (from Ch. 108 1/2, par. 17-131)
8 Sec. 17-131. Administration of payroll deductions.
9 During any period in which salaries are paid, payroll such
10 deductions by an Employer or the Board shall be made for all
11 salary paid on the basis of the full salary rates, exclusive
12 of salaries for overtime, special services or any employment
13 on an optional basis, such as in summer school. If salaries
14 represent adjustments on account of error, deductions by the
15 Employer or the Board shall be at the rates in force during
16 the applicable payroll period. If teachers receive salaries
17 for the school year, as established by an Employer, or if
18 they receive salaries for more than 10 calendar months, the
19 amount required for each year of service shall be deducted by
20 such Employer in installments. The total amounts for each
21 semimonthly payroll period, or bi-weekly payroll period, as
22 the case may be, shall be deducted for all salary paid only
23 when salary payments represent 5 days' pay or more. If an
24 Employer or the Board pays salaries to members of the
25 teaching force for vacation periods, the salary shall be
26 considered part of the teacher's annual salary, shall be
27 subject to the standard deductions for pension contributions,
28 and shall be considered to represent additional service
29 credit for each day paid pay for 5 or more days' employment
30 in a bi-weekly or semi-monthly payroll period for purposes
31 set forth in this Section. If deductions from salaries

1 result in amounts of less than one cent, the fractional sums
2 shall be increased to the next higher cent. Any excess of
3 these fractional increases over the prescribed annual
4 contributions shall be credited to the teachers' accounts.
5 In the event that, pursuant to Section 17-130.1, employee
6 contributions are picked up or made by the Board of Education
7 on behalf of its employees from the proceeds of the tax
8 levied under Section 34-60 of the School Code, then the
9 amount of the employee contributions which are picked up or
10 made in that manner shall not be deducted from the salaries
11 of such employees.
