HB3795 LRB100 05341 RPS 15352 b
AN ACT concerning public employee benefits.
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
Section 5. The Illinois Pension Code is amended by changing
Section 9-179.1 as follows:
(40 ILCS 5/9-179.1) (from Ch. 108 1/2, par. 9-179.1)
Sec. 9-179.1. Military service. A contributing employee as
of January 1, 1993 with at least 25 years of service credit may
apply for creditable service for up to 2 years of military
service whether or not the military service followed service as
a county employee. The military service need not have been
served in wartime, but the employee must not have been
dishonorably discharged. To establish this creditable service
the applicant must pay to the Fund, while in the service of the
county, an amount determined by the Fund to represent the
employee contributions for the creditable service established,
based on the employee's rate of compensation on his or her last
day as a contributor before the military service, or on his or
her first day as a contributor after the military service,
whichever is greater, plus interest at the effective rate from
the date of discharge to the date of payment. If a person who
has established any credit under this Section applies for or
receives any early retirement incentive under Section 9-134.2,

HB3795 - 2 - LRB100 05341 RPS 15352 b
the credit under this Section shall be forfeited and the amount
paid to the Fund under this Section shall be refunded.

of this Act, no reimbursement by the State is required for the
implementation of any mandate created by this amendatory Act of
the 100th General Assembly.

becoming law.
