| Public Act 100-1173 | ||||
| ||||
| ||||
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 5-214 as follows:
| ||||
(40 ILCS 5/5-214) (from Ch. 108 1/2, par. 5-214)
| ||||
Sec. 5-214. Credit for other service. Any participant in | ||||
this fund (other
than a member of the fire department of the | ||||
city) who has rendered service
as a member of the police | ||||
department of the city for a period of 3 years
or more is | ||||
entitled to credit for the various purposes of this Article for
| ||||
service rendered prior to becoming a member or subsequent | ||||
thereto for the
following periods:
| ||||
(a) While on leave of absence from the police | ||||
department assigned or
detailed to investigative, | ||||
protective, security or police work for the park
district | ||||
of the city, the department of the Port of Chicago or the | ||||
sanitary
district in which the city is located.
| ||||
(b) As a temporary police officer in the city or while | ||||
serving in the
office of the mayor or in the office of the | ||||
corporation counsel, as a
member of the city council of the | ||||
city, as an employee of the Policemen's
Annuity and Benefit | ||||
Fund created by this Article, as the head
of an | ||||
organization whose membership consists of members of the | ||
police
department, the Public Vehicle License Commission | ||
and the board of election
commissioners of the city, | ||
provided that, in each of these cases and for all periods | ||
specified in this item (b), including those beginning | ||
before the effective date of this amendatory Act of the | ||
97th General Assembly, the police officer is on leave and | ||
continues to remain in sworn status, subject to the | ||
professional standards of the public employer or those | ||
terms established in statute.
| ||
(c) While performing safety or investigative work for | ||
the county in which
such city is principally located or for | ||
the State of Illinois or for the
federal government, on | ||
leave of absence from the department of police, or
while | ||
performing investigative work for the department as a | ||
civilian
employee of the department. Notwithstanding any | ||
other provision of law, the board shall reconsider an | ||
application for credit for service under this item (c) that | ||
was submitted after January 1, 1992 and before April 1, | ||
2008 and was denied.
| ||
(d) While on leave of absence from the police | ||
department of the city
and serving as the chief of police | ||
of a police department outside the city.
| ||
No credit shall be granted in this fund, however, for this | ||
service if the
policeman has credit therefor in any other | ||
annuity and benefit fund, or
unless he contributes to this fund | ||
the amount he would have contributed
with interest had he | ||
remained an active member of the police department
in the | ||
position he occupied as a result of a civil service competitive
| ||
examination, certification and appointment by the Civil | ||
Service Board; or
in the case of a city operating under the | ||
provisions of a personnel ordinance
the position he occupied as | ||
a result of a personnel ordinance competitive
examination | ||
certification and appointment under the authority of a | ||
Municipal
Personnel ordinance.
| ||
Concurrently with such contributions, the city shall | ||
contribute the amounts
provided by this Article. No credit | ||
shall be allowed for any period of
time for which contributions | ||
by the policeman have not been paid. The period
of service | ||
rendered by such policeman prior to the date he became a member
| ||
of the police department of the city or while detailed, | ||
assigned or on leave
of absence and employed in any of the | ||
departments set forth hereinabove
in this Section for which | ||
such policeman has contributed to this fund shall
be credited | ||
to him as service for all the purposes of this Article, except
| ||
that he shall not have any of the rights conferred by the | ||
provisions of
Sections 5-127 and 5-162 of this Article.
| ||
The changes in this Section made by Public Act 86-273 shall | ||
apply to members
of the fund who have not begun receiving a | ||
pension under this Article on August
23, 1989, without regard | ||
to whether employment is terminated before that date.
| ||
