12 employees in the exercise of the rights guaranteed in this
13 Act or to dominate or interfere with the formation,

13 provisions of subsection (a) of Section 7.6 shall
14 constitute or give rise to an unfair labor practice under
15 this Act;
16 (5) to violate any of the rules and regulations
17 established by the Board with jurisdiction over them
18 relating to the conduct of representation elections or the
19 conduct affecting the representation elections;

21 to any external agent, individual, firm, agency,
22 partnership or association in any attempt to influence the
23 outcome of representational elections held pursuant to
24 Section 9 of this Act; provided, that nothing in this
25 subsection shall be construed to limit an employer's right

10 or educational employers, whether covered by this Act, the
11 Illinois Educational Labor Relations Act or the public
12 employment labor relations law of any other state or the
13 federal government, provided that such services or advice
14 are generally available to the membership of the
15 organization, group or association, and are not offered
16 solely in an attempt to influence the outcome of a
17 particular representational election; or
18 (7) to refuse to reduce a collective bargaining
19 agreement to writing or to refuse to sign such agreement.
20 (b) It shall be an unfair labor practice for a labor
21organization or its agents:
22 (1) to restrain or coerce public employees in the
23 exercise of the rights guaranteed in this Act, provided,
24 (i) that this paragraph shall not impair the right of a
25 labor organization to prescribe its own rules with respect
26 to the acquisition or retention of membership therein or

SB0011- 6 -LRB100 06001 RPS 16030 b
1 the determination of fair share payments and (ii) that a
2 labor organization or its agents shall commit an unfair
3 labor practice under this paragraph in duty of fair
4 representation cases only by intentional misconduct in
5 representing employees under this Act;
6 (2) to restrain or coerce a public employer in the
7 selection of his representatives for the purposes of
8 collective bargaining or the settlement of grievances; or
9 (3) to cause, or attempt to cause, an employer to
10 discriminate against an employee in violation of
11 subsection (a)(2);

13 with a public employer, if it has been designated in
14 accordance with the provisions of this Act as the exclusive
15 representative of public employees in an appropriate unit;
16 (5) to violate any of the rules and regulations
17 established by the boards with jurisdiction over them
18 relating to the conduct of representation elections or the
19 conduct affecting the representation elections;
20 (6) to discriminate against any employee because he has
21 signed or filed an affidavit, petition or charge or
22 provided any information or testimony under this Act;
23 (7) to picket or cause to be picketed, or threaten to
24 picket or cause to be picketed, any public employer where
25 an object thereof is forcing or requiring an employer to
26 recognize or bargain with a labor organization of the

SB0011- 7 -LRB100 06001 RPS 16030 b
1 representative of its employees, or forcing or requiring
2 the employees of an employer to accept or select such labor
3 organization as their collective bargaining
4 representative, unless such labor organization is
5 currently certified as the representative of such
6 employees:
7 (A) where the employer has lawfully recognized in
8 accordance with this Act any labor organization and a
9 question concerning representation may not
10 appropriately be raised under Section 9 of this Act;
11 (B) where within the preceding 12 months a valid
12 election under Section 9 of this Act has been
13 conducted; or
14 (C) where such picketing has been conducted
15 without a petition under Section 9 being filed within a
16 reasonable period of time not to exceed 30 days from
17 the commencement of such picketing; provided that when
18 such a petition has been filed the Board shall
19 forthwith, without regard to the provisions of
20 subsection (a) of Section 9 or the absence of a showing
21 of a substantial interest on the part of the labor
22 organization, direct an election in such unit as the
23 Board finds to be appropriate and shall certify the
24 results thereof; provided further, that nothing in
25 this subparagraph shall be construed to prohibit any
26 picketing or other publicity for the purpose of

SB0011- 8 -LRB100 06001 RPS 16030 b
1 truthfully advising the public that an employer does
2 not employ members of, or have a contract with, a labor
3 organization unless an effect of such picketing is to
4 induce any individual employed by any other person in
5 the course of his employment, not to pick up, deliver,
6 or transport any goods or not to perform any services;
7 or
8 (8) to refuse to reduce a collective bargaining
9 agreement to writing or to refuse to sign such agreement.
10 (c) The expressing of any views, argument, or opinion or
11the dissemination thereof, whether in written, printed,
12graphic, or visual form, shall not constitute or be evidence of
13an unfair labor practice under any of the provisions of this
14Act, if such expression contains no threat of reprisal or force
15or promise of benefit.

SB0011- 21 -LRB100 06001 RPS 16030 b
1 (a) Except as provided in subsection (a-1), a A participant
2who retires after June 30, 1967, and who has not received an
3initial increase under this Section before the effective date

5following the first anniversary of retirement, whichever
6occurs first, and in the same month of each year thereafter,
7but in no event prior to age 60, have the amount of the
8originally granted retirement annuity increased as follows:
9for each year through 1971, 1 1/2%; for each year from 1972
10through 1979, 2%; and for 1980 and each year thereafter, 3%.
11Annuitants who have received an initial increase under this
12subsection prior to the effective date of this amendatory Act
13of 1991 shall continue to receive their annual increases in the
14same month as the initial increase.
15 (a-1) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article,
16for a Tier 1 employee who made the election under paragraph (1)
17of subsection (a) of Section 2-110.3:
18 (1) The initial increase in retirement annuity under
19 this Section shall occur on the January 1 occurring either

21 anniversary of the annuity start date, whichever is
22 earlier.
23 (2) The amount of each automatic annual increase in
24 retirement annuity occurring on or after the effective date
25 of that election shall be calculated as a percentage of the

SB0011- 22 -LRB100 06001 RPS 16030 b
1 one-half the annual unadjusted percentage increase (but
2 not less than zero) in the consumer price index-u for the
3 12 months ending with the September preceding each November
4 1, whichever is less. If the annual unadjusted percentage
5 change in the consumer price index-u for the 12 months
6 ending with the September preceding each November 1 is zero
7 or there is a decrease, then the annuity shall not be
8 increased.
9 For the purposes of this Section, "consumer price index-u"
10means the index published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of
11the United States Department of Labor that measures the average
12change in prices of goods and services purchased by all urban
13consumers, United States city average, all items, 1982-84 =
14100. The new amount resulting from each annual adjustment shall
15be determined by the Public Pension Division of the Department
16of Insurance and made available to the board of the retirement
17system by November 1 of each year.
18 (b) Beginning January 1, 1990, for eligible participants
19who remain in service after attaining 20 years of creditable
20service, the 3% increases provided under subsection (a) shall
21begin to accrue on the January 1 next following the date upon
22which the participant (1) attains age 55, or (2) attains 20
23years of creditable service, whichever occurs later, and shall
24continue to accrue while the participant remains in service;
25such increases shall become payable on January 1 or July 1,
26whichever occurs first, next following the first anniversary of

SB0011- 23 -LRB100 06001 RPS 16030 b
1retirement. For any person who has service credit in the System
2for the entire period from January 15, 1969 through December
331, 1992, regardless of the date of termination of service, the
4reference to age 55 in clause (1) of this subsection (b) shall
5be deemed to mean age 50.
6 This subsection (b) does not apply to any person who first
7becomes a member of the System after August 8, 2003 (the
8effective date of Public Act 93-494) this amendatory Act of the

15each year thereafter, but in no event prior to age 67, have the
16amount of the retirement annuity then being paid increased by
173% or the annual unadjusted percentage increase in the Consumer
18Price Index for All Urban Consumers as determined by the Public
19Pension Division of the Department of Insurance under
20subsection (a) of Section 2-108.1, whichever is less.
21 (c) The foregoing provisions relating to automatic
22increases are not applicable to a participant who retires
23before having made contributions (at the rate prescribed in
24Section 2-126) for automatic increases for less than the
25equivalent of one full year. However, in order to be eligible
26for the automatic increases, such a participant may make

SB0011- 24 -LRB100 06001 RPS 16030 b
1arrangements to pay to the system the amount required to bring
2the total contributions for the automatic increase to the
3equivalent of one year's contributions based upon his or her
4last salary.
5 (d) A participant who terminated service prior to July 1,
61967, with at least 14 years of service is entitled to an
7increase in retirement annuity beginning January, 1976, and to
8additional increases in January of each year thereafter.
9 The initial increase shall be 1 1/2% of the originally
10granted retirement annuity multiplied by the number of full
11years that the annuitant was in receipt of such annuity prior
12to January 1, 1972, plus 2% of the originally granted
13retirement annuity for each year after that date. The
14subsequent annual increases shall be at the rate of 2% of the
15originally granted retirement annuity for each year through
161979 and at the rate of 3% for 1980 and thereafter.

1 Sec. 2-124. Contributions by State.
2 (a) The State shall make contributions to the System by
3appropriations of amounts which, together with the
4contributions of participants, interest earned on investments,
5and other income will meet the cost of maintaining and
6administering the System on a 90% funded basis in accordance
7with actuarial recommendations.
8 (b) The Board shall determine the amount of State
9contributions required for each fiscal year on the basis of the
10actuarial tables and other assumptions adopted by the Board and
11the prescribed rate of interest, using the formula in
12subsection (c).
13 (c) For State fiscal years 2018 through 2045 (except as
14otherwise provided for fiscal year 2019), the minimum
15contribution to the System to be made by the State for each
16fiscal year shall be an amount determined by the System to be
17sufficient to bring the total assets of the System up to 90% of
18the total actuarial liabilities of the System by the end of
19State fiscal year 2045. In making these determinations, the
20required State contribution shall be calculated each year as a
21level percentage of total payroll, including payroll that is
22not deemed pensionable, over the years remaining to and
23including fiscal year 2045 and shall be determined under the
24projected unit credit actuarial cost method.
25 For State fiscal year 2019:
26 (1) The initial calculation and certification shall be

SB0011- 26 -LRB100 06001 RPS 16030 b
1 based on the amount determined above.
2 (2) For purposes of the recertification due on or
3 before May 1, 2018, the recalculation of the required State
4 contribution for fiscal year 2019 shall take into account
5 the effect on the System's liabilities of the elections
6 made under Section 2-110.3.
7 (3) For purposes of the recertification due on or
8 before October 1, 2018, the total required State
9 contribution for fiscal year 2019 shall be reduced by the
10 amount of the consideration payments made to Tier 1
11 employees who made the election under paragraph (1) of
12 subsection (a) of Section 2-110.3.
13 Beginning in State fiscal year 2018, any increase or
14decrease in State contribution over the prior fiscal year due
15exclusively to changes in actuarial or investment assumptions
16adopted by the Board shall be included in the State
17contribution to the System, as a percentage of the applicable
18employee payroll, and shall be increased in equal annual
19increments so that by the State fiscal year occurring 5 years
20after the adoption of the actuarial or investment assumptions,
21the State is contributing at the rate otherwise required under
22this Section.
23 If Section 2-110.3 is determined to be unconstitutional or
24otherwise invalid by a final unappealable decision of an
25Illinois court or a court of competent jurisdiction, then the
26changes made to this Section by this amendatory Act of the

SB0011- 27 -LRB100 06001 RPS 16030 b
1100th General Assembly shall not take effect and are repealed
2by operation of law.
3 For State fiscal years 2012 through 2017 2045, the minimum
4contribution to the System to be made by the State for each
5fiscal year shall be an amount determined by the System to be
6sufficient to bring the total assets of the System up to 90% of
7the total actuarial liabilities of the System by the end of
8State fiscal year 2045. In making these determinations, the
9required State contribution shall be calculated each year as a
10level percentage of payroll over the years remaining to and
11including fiscal year 2045 and shall be determined under the
12projected unit credit actuarial cost method.
13 For State fiscal years 1996 through 2005, the State
14contribution to the System, as a percentage of the applicable
15employee payroll, shall be increased in equal annual increments
16so that by State fiscal year 2011, the State is contributing at
17the rate required under this Section.
18 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article, the
19total required State contribution for State fiscal year 2006 is
20$4,157,000.
21 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article, the
22total required State contribution for State fiscal year 2007 is
23$5,220,300.
24 For each of State fiscal years 2008 through 2009, the State
25contribution to the System, as a percentage of the applicable
26employee payroll, shall be increased in equal annual increments

SB0011- 28 -LRB100 06001 RPS 16030 b
1from the required State contribution for State fiscal year
22007, so that by State fiscal year 2011, the State is
3contributing at the rate otherwise required under this Section.
4 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article, the
5total required State contribution for State fiscal year 2010 is
6$10,454,000 and shall be made from the proceeds of bonds sold

9expenses determined by the System's share of total bond
10proceeds, (ii) any amounts received from the General Revenue
11Fund in fiscal year 2010, and (iii) any reduction in bond
12proceeds due to the issuance of discounted bonds, if

17pursuant to Section 2-134 and shall be made from the proceeds
18of bonds sold in fiscal year 2011 pursuant to Section 7.2 of
19the General Obligation Bond Act, less (i) the pro rata share of
20bond sale expenses determined by the System's share of total
21bond proceeds, (ii) any amounts received from the General
22Revenue Fund in fiscal year 2011, and (iii) any reduction in
23bond proceeds due to the issuance of discounted bonds, if
24applicable.
25 Beginning in State fiscal year 2046, the minimum State
26contribution for each fiscal year shall be the amount needed to

SB0011- 29 -LRB100 06001 RPS 16030 b
1maintain the total assets of the System at 90% of the total
2actuarial liabilities of the System.
3 Amounts received by the System pursuant to Section 25 of
4the Budget Stabilization Act or Section 8.12 of the State
5Finance Act in any fiscal year do not reduce and do not
6constitute payment of any portion of the minimum State
7contribution required under this Article in that fiscal year.
8Such amounts shall not reduce, and shall not be included in the
9calculation of, the required State contributions under this
10Article in any future year until the System has reached a
11funding ratio of at least 90%. A reference in this Article to
12the "required State contribution" or any substantially similar
13term does not include or apply to any amounts payable to the
14System under Section 25 of the Budget Stabilization Act.
15 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, the
16required State contribution for State fiscal year 2005 and for
17fiscal year 2008 and each fiscal year thereafter, as calculated
18under this Section and certified under Section 2-134, shall not
19exceed an amount equal to (i) the amount of the required State
20contribution that would have been calculated under this Section
21for that fiscal year if the System had not received any
22payments under subsection (d) of Section 7.2 of the General
23Obligation Bond Act, minus (ii) the portion of the State's
24total debt service payments for that fiscal year on the bonds
25issued in fiscal year 2003 for the purposes of that Section
267.2, as determined and certified by the Comptroller, that is

SB0011- 30 -LRB100 06001 RPS 16030 b
1the same as the System's portion of the total moneys
2distributed under subsection (d) of Section 7.2 of the General
3Obligation Bond Act. In determining this maximum for State
4fiscal years 2008 through 2010, however, the amount referred to
5in item (i) shall be increased, as a percentage of the
6applicable employee payroll, in equal increments calculated
7from the sum of the required State contribution for State
8fiscal year 2007 plus the applicable portion of the State's
9total debt service payments for fiscal year 2007 on the bonds
10issued in fiscal year 2003 for the purposes of Section 7.2 of
11the General Obligation Bond Act, so that, by State fiscal year
122011, the State is contributing at the rate otherwise required
13under this Section.
14 (d) For purposes of determining the required State
15contribution to the System, the value of the System's assets
16shall be equal to the actuarial value of the System's assets,
17which shall be calculated as follows:
18 As of June 30, 2008, the actuarial value of the System's
19assets shall be equal to the market value of the assets as of
20that date. In determining the actuarial value of the System's
21assets for fiscal years after June 30, 2008, any actuarial
22gains or losses from investment return incurred in a fiscal
23year shall be recognized in equal annual amounts over the
245-year period following that fiscal year.
25 (e) For purposes of determining the required State
26contribution to the system for a particular year, the actuarial

SB0011- 31 -LRB100 06001 RPS 16030 b
1value of assets shall be assumed to earn a rate of return equal
2to the system's actuarially assumed rate of return.

18 (b) Beginning August 2, 1949, each male participant, and
19from July 1, 1971, each female participant shall contribute
20towards the cost of the survivor's annuity 2% of salary.
21 A participant who has no eligible survivor's annuity
22beneficiary may elect to cease making contributions for
23survivor's annuity under this subsection. A survivor's annuity
24shall not be payable upon the death of a person who has made
25this election, unless prior to that death the election has been

SB0011- 32 -LRB100 06001 RPS 16030 b
1revoked and the amount of the contributions that would have
2been paid under this subsection in the absence of the election
3is paid to the System, together with interest at the rate of 4%
4per year from the date the contributions would have been made
5to the date of payment.
6 (c) Beginning July 1, 1967, each participant shall

11 (d) In addition, each participant serving as an officer of
12the General Assembly shall contribute, for the same purposes
13and at the same rates as are required of a regular participant,
14on each additional payment received as an officer. If the
15participant serves as an officer for at least 2 but less than 4
16years, he or she shall contribute an amount equal to the amount
17that would have been contributed had the participant served as
18an officer for 4 years. Persons who serve as officers in the
1987th General Assembly but cannot receive the additional payment
20to officers because of the ban on increases in salary during
21their terms may nonetheless make contributions based on those
22additional payments for the purpose of having the additional
23payments included in their highest salary for annuity purposes;
24however, persons electing to make these additional
25contributions must also pay an amount representing the
26corresponding employer contributions, as calculated by the

SB0011- 33 -LRB100 06001 RPS 16030 b
1System.
2 (e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article,
3the required contribution of a participant who first becomes a
4participant on or after January 1, 2011 shall not exceed the
5contribution that would be due under this Article if that
6participant's highest salary for annuity purposes were
7$106,800, plus any increases in that amount under Section
82-108.1.
9 (f) Beginning July 1, 2018 or the effective date of the
10Tier 1 employee's election under paragraph (1) of subsection

20 Sec. 2-162. Application and expiration of new benefit
21increases.
22 (a) As used in this Section, "new benefit increase" means
23an increase in the amount of any benefit provided under this
24Article, or an expansion of the conditions of eligibility for
25any benefit under this Article, that results from an amendment

SB0011- 38 -LRB100 06001 RPS 16030 b
1to this Code that takes effect after the effective date of this
2amendatory Act of the 94th General Assembly. "New benefit
3increase", however, does not include any benefit increase
4resulting from the changes made to this Article by this
5amendatory Act of the 100th General Assembly.
6 (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Code or any
7subsequent amendment to this Code, every new benefit increase
8is subject to this Section and shall be deemed to be granted
9only in conformance with and contingent upon compliance with
10the provisions of this Section.
11 (c) The Public Act enacting a new benefit increase must
12identify and provide for payment to the System of additional
13funding at least sufficient to fund the resulting annual
14increase in cost to the System as it accrues.
15 Every new benefit increase is contingent upon the General
16Assembly providing the additional funding required under this
17subsection. The Commission on Government Forecasting and
18Accountability shall analyze whether adequate additional
19funding has been provided for the new benefit increase and
20shall report its analysis to the Public Pension Division of the
21Department of Insurance Financial and Professional Regulation.
22A new benefit increase created by a Public Act that does not
23include the additional funding required under this subsection
24is null and void. If the Public Pension Division determines
25that the additional funding provided for a new benefit increase
26under this subsection is or has become inadequate, it may so

SB0011- 39 -LRB100 06001 RPS 16030 b
1certify to the Governor and the State Comptroller and, in the
2absence of corrective action by the General Assembly, the new
3benefit increase shall expire at the end of the fiscal year in
4which the certification is made.
5 (d) Every new benefit increase shall expire 5 years after
6its effective date or on such earlier date as may be specified
7in the language enacting the new benefit increase or provided
8under subsection (c). This does not prevent the General
9Assembly from extending or re-creating a new benefit increase
10by law.
11 (e) Except as otherwise provided in the language creating
12the new benefit increase, a new benefit increase that expires
13under this Section continues to apply to persons who applied
14and qualified for the affected benefit while the new benefit
15increase was in effect and to the affected beneficiaries and
16alternate payees of such persons, but does not apply to any
17other person, including without limitation a person who
18continues in service after the expiration date and did not
19apply and qualify for the affected benefit while the new
20benefit increase was in effect.

23 Sec. 2-165.1. Defined contribution plan.
24 (a) By July 1, 2018, the System shall prepare and implement
25a voluntary defined contribution plan for up to 5% of eligible

SB0011- 40 -LRB100 06001 RPS 16030 b
1active Tier 1 employees. The System shall determine the 5% cap
2by the number of active Tier 1 employees on the effective date
3of this Section. The defined contribution plan developed under
4this Section shall be a plan that aggregates employer and
5employee contributions in individual participant accounts
6which, after meeting any other requirements, are used for
7payouts after retirement in accordance with this Section and
8any other applicable laws.
9 As used in this Section, "defined benefit plan" means the
10retirement plan available under this Article to Tier 1
11employees who have not made the election authorized under this
12Section.
13 (1) Under the defined contribution plan, an active Tier
14 1 employee of this System could elect to cease accruing
15 benefits in the defined benefit plan under this Article and
16 begin accruing benefits for future service in the defined
17 contribution plan. Service credit under the defined
18 contribution plan may be used for determining retirement
19 eligibility under the defined benefit plan.
20 (2) Participants in the defined contribution plan
21 shall pay employee contributions at the same rate as Tier 1
22 employees in this System who do not participate in the
23 defined contribution plan.
24 (3) State contributions shall be paid into the accounts
25 of all participants in the defined contribution plan at a
26 uniform rate, expressed as a percentage of compensation and

SB0011- 41 -LRB100 06001 RPS 16030 b
1 determined for each year. This rate shall be no higher than
2 the employer's normal cost for Tier 1 employees in the
3 defined benefit plan for that year, as determined by the
4 System and expressed as a percentage of compensation, and
5 shall be no lower than 3% of compensation. The State shall
6 adjust this rate annually.
7 (4) The defined contribution plan shall require 5 years
8 of participation in the defined contribution plan before
9 vesting in State contributions. If the participant fails to
10 vest in them, the State contributions, and the earnings
11 thereon, shall be forfeited.
12 (5) The defined contribution plan may provide for
13 participants in the plan to be eligible for defined
14 disability benefits. If it does, the System shall reduce
15 the employee contributions credited to the participant's
16 defined contribution plan account by an amount determined
17 by the System to cover the cost of offering such benefits.
18 (6) The defined contribution plan shall provide a
19 variety of options for investments. These options shall
20 include investments handled by the Illinois State Board of
21 Investment as well as private sector investment options.
22 (7) The defined contribution plan shall provide a
23 variety of options for payouts to retirees and their
24 survivors.
25 (8) To the extent authorized under federal law and as
26 authorized by the System, the plan shall allow former

SB0011- 42 -LRB100 06001 RPS 16030 b
1 participants in the plan to transfer or roll over employee
2 and vested State contributions, and the earnings thereon,
3 into other qualified retirement plans.
4 (9) The System shall reduce the employee contributions
5 credited to the participant's defined contribution plan
6 account by an amount determined by the System to cover the
7 cost of offering these benefits and any applicable
8 administrative fees.
9 (b) Only persons who are active Tier 1 employees of the
10System on the effective date of this Section are eligible to
11participate in the defined contribution plan. Participation in
12the defined contribution plan shall be limited to the first 5%
13of eligible persons who elect to participate. The election to
14participate in the defined contribution plan is voluntary and
15irrevocable.
16 (c) An eligible active Tier 1 employee may irrevocably
17elect to participate in the defined contribution plan by filing
18with the System a written application to participate that is
19received by the System prior to its determination that 5% of
20eligible persons have elected to participate in the defined
21contribution plan.
22 When the System first determines that 5% of eligible
23persons have elected to participate in the defined contribution
24plan, the System shall provide notice to previously eligible
25employees that the plan is no longer available and shall cease
26accepting applications to participate.

SB0011- 43 -LRB100 06001 RPS 16030 b
1 (d) The System shall make a good faith effort to contact
2each active Tier 1 employee who is eligible to participate in
3the defined contribution plan. The System shall mail
4information describing the option to join the defined
5contribution plan to each of these employees to his or her last
6known address on file with the System. If the employee is not
7responsive to other means of contact, it is sufficient for the
8System to publish the details of the option on its website.
9 Upon request for further information describing the
10option, the System shall provide employees with information
11from the System before exercising the option to join the plan,
12including information on the impact to their vested benefits or
13non-vested service. The individual consultation shall include
14projections of the participant's defined benefits at
15retirement or earlier termination of service and the value of
16the participant's account at retirement or earlier termination
17of service. The System shall not provide advice or counseling
18with respect to whether the employee should exercise the
19option. The System shall inform Tier 1 employees who are
20eligible to participate in the defined contribution plan that
21they may also wish to obtain information and counsel relating
22to their option from any other available source, including but
23not limited to labor organizations, private counsel, and
24financial advisors.
25 (e) In no event shall the System, its staff, its authorized
26representatives, or the Board be liable for any information

SB0011- 44 -LRB100 06001 RPS 16030 b
1given to an employee under this Section. The System may
2coordinate with the Illinois Department of Central Management
3Services and other retirement systems administering a defined
4contribution plan in accordance with this amendatory Act of the
5100th General Assembly to provide information concerning the
6impact of the option set forth in this Section.
7 (f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, no
8person shall begin participating in the defined contribution
9plan until it has attained qualified plan status and received
10all necessary approvals from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service.
11 (g) The System shall report on its progress under this
12Section, including the available details of the defined
13contribution plan and the System's plans for informing eligible
14Tier 1 employees about the plan, to the Governor and the
15General Assembly on or before January 15, 2018.
16 (h) The Illinois State Board of Investments shall be the
17plan sponsor for the defined contribution plan established
18under this Section.
19 (i) The intent of this amendatory Act of the 100th General
20Assembly is to ensure that the State's normal cost of
21participation in the defined contribution plan is similar, and
22if possible equal, to the State's normal cost of participation
23in the defined benefit plan, unless a lower State's normal cost
24is necessary to ensure cost neutrality.
25 (j) If Section 2-110.3 is determined to be unconstitutional
26or otherwise invalid by a final unappealable decision of an

SB0011- 45 -LRB100 06001 RPS 16030 b
1Illinois court or a court of competent jurisdiction, then this
2Section shall not take effect and is repealed by operation of
3law.

91 employee in the System's defined benefit plan during the time
10in which he or she participated in the defined contribution

SB0011- 61 -LRB100 06001 RPS 16030 b
1the monthly retirement annuity provided under Rule 1, Rule 2,
2Rule 3, or Rule 4 contained in this Section, multiplied by the
3number of full months which elapsed from the date the
4retirement annuity payments began to January 1, 1972, plus
50.1667% of such annuity, multiplied by the number of full
6months which elapsed from January 1, 1972, or the date the
7retirement annuity payments began, whichever is later, to
8January 1, 1978, plus 0.25% of such annuity multiplied by the
9number of full months which elapsed from January 1, 1978, or
10the date the retirement annuity payments began, whichever is
11later, to the effective date of the increase.
12 The annuitant shall receive an increase in his or her

17is effective January 1, 1980 and applies to each annuitant
18whose status as an employee terminates before or after that
19date.
20 Beginning January 1, 1990, and except as provided in
21subsection (d-1), all automatic annual increases payable under
22this Section shall be calculated as a percentage of the total
23annuity payable at the time of the increase, including all
24increases previously granted under this Article.
25 The change made in this subsection by P.A. 85-1008 is
26effective January 26, 1988, and is applicable without regard to

4of subsection (a) of Section 15-132.9:
5 (1) The initial increase in retirement annuity under
6 this Section shall occur on the January 1 occurring either
7 on or after the attainment of age 67 or the fifth
8 anniversary of the annuity start date, whichever is
9 earlier.
10 (2) The amount of each automatic annual increase in
11 retirement annuity occurring on or after the effective date
12 of that election shall be calculated as a percentage of the
13 originally granted retirement annuity, equal to 3% or
14 one-half the annual unadjusted percentage increase (but
15 not less than zero) in the consumer price index-u for the
16 12 months ending with the September preceding each November
17 1, whichever is less. If the annual unadjusted percentage
18 change in the consumer price index-u for the 12 months
19 ending with the September preceding each November 1 is zero
20 or there is a decrease, then the annuity shall not be
21 increased.
22 For the purposes of this Section, "consumer price index-u"
23means the index published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of
24the United States Department of Labor that measures the average
25change in prices of goods and services purchased by all urban
26consumers, United States city average, all items, 1982-84 =

SB0011- 63 -LRB100 06001 RPS 16030 b
1100. The new amount resulting from each annual adjustment shall
2be determined by the Public Pension Division of the Department
3of Insurance and made available to the board of the retirement
4system by November 1 of each year.
5 (d-5) A retirement annuity of a Tier 2 member shall receive
6annual increases on the January 1 occurring either on or after
7the attainment of age 67 or the first anniversary of the
8annuity start date, whichever is later. Each annual increase
9shall be calculated at 3% or one half the annual unadjusted
10percentage increase (but not less than zero) in the consumer
11price index-u for the 12 months ending with the September
12preceding each November 1, whichever is less, of the originally
13granted retirement annuity. If the annual unadjusted
14percentage change in the consumer price index-u for the 12
15months ending with the September preceding each November 1 is
16zero or there is a decrease, then the annuity shall not be
17increased.
18 (e) If, on January 1, 1987, or the date the retirement
19annuity payment period begins, whichever is later, the sum of
20the retirement annuity provided under Rule 1 or Rule 2 of this
21Section and the automatic annual increases provided under the
22preceding subsection or Section 15-136.1, amounts to less than
23the retirement annuity which would be provided by Rule 3, the
24retirement annuity shall be increased as of January 1, 1987, or
25the date the retirement annuity payment period begins,
26whichever is later, to the amount which would be provided by

SB0011- 64 -LRB100 06001 RPS 16030 b
1Rule 3 of this Section. Such increased amount shall be
2considered as the retirement annuity in determining benefits
3provided under other Sections of this Article. This paragraph
4applies without regard to whether status as an employee
5terminated before the effective date of this amendatory Act of
61987, provided that the annuitant was employed at least
7one-half time during the period on which the final rate of
8earnings was based.
9 (f) A participant is entitled to such additional annuity as
10may be provided on an actuarially equivalent basis, by any
11accumulated additional contributions to his or her credit.
12However, the additional contributions made by the participant
13toward the automatic increases in annuity provided under this
14Section shall not be taken into account in determining the
15amount of such additional annuity.
16 (g) If, (1) by law, a function of a governmental unit, as
17defined by Section 20-107 of this Code, is transferred in whole
18or in part to an employer, and (2) a participant transfers
19employment from such governmental unit to such employer within
206 months after the transfer of the function, and (3) the sum of
21(A) the annuity payable to the participant under Rule 1, 2, or
223 of this Section (B) all proportional annuities payable to the
23participant by all other retirement systems covered by Article
2420, and (C) the initial primary insurance amount to which the
25participant is entitled under the Social Security Act, is less
26than the retirement annuity which would have been payable if

SB0011- 65 -LRB100 06001 RPS 16030 b
1all of the participant's pension credits validated under
2Section 20-109 had been validated under this system, a
3supplemental annuity equal to the difference in such amounts
4shall be payable to the participant.
5 (h) On January 1, 1981, an annuitant who was receiving a
6retirement annuity on or before January 1, 1971 shall have his
7or her retirement annuity then being paid increased $1 per
8month for each year of creditable service. On January 1, 1982,
9an annuitant whose retirement annuity began on or before
10January 1, 1977, shall have his or her retirement annuity then
11being paid increased $1 per month for each year of creditable
12service.
13 (i) On January 1, 1987, any annuitant whose retirement
14annuity began on or before January 1, 1977, shall have the
15monthly retirement annuity increased by an amount equal to 8¢
16per year of creditable service times the number of years that
17have elapsed since the annuity began.

9 Beginning in State fiscal year 2018, any increase or
10decrease in State contribution over the prior fiscal year due
11exclusively to changes in actuarial or investment assumptions

17from the required State contribution for State fiscal year
182007, so that by State fiscal year 2011, the State is
19contributing at the rate otherwise required under this Section.

16contribution for each fiscal year shall be the amount needed to
17maintain the total assets of the System at 90% of the total
18actuarial liabilities of the System.
19 Amounts received by the System pursuant to Section 25 of
20the Budget Stabilization Act or Section 8.12 of the State
21Finance Act in any fiscal year do not reduce and do not
22constitute payment of any portion of the minimum State
23contribution required under this Article in that fiscal year.
24Such amounts shall not reduce, and shall not be included in the
25calculation of, the required State contributions under this
26Article in any future year until the System has reached a

SB0011- 70 -LRB100 06001 RPS 16030 b
1funding ratio of at least 90%. A reference in this Article to
2the "required State contribution" or any substantially similar
3term does not include or apply to any amounts payable to the
4System under Section 25 of the Budget Stabilization Act.
5 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, the
6required State contribution for State fiscal year 2005 and for
7fiscal year 2008 and each fiscal year thereafter, as calculated
8under this Section and certified under Section 15-165, shall

10State contribution that would have been calculated under this
11Section for that fiscal year if the System had not received any
12payments under subsection (d) of Section 7.2 of the General
13Obligation Bond Act, minus (ii) the portion of the State's
14total debt service payments for that fiscal year on the bonds
15issued in fiscal year 2003 for the purposes of that Section
167.2, as determined and certified by the Comptroller, that is
17the same as the System's portion of the total moneys
18distributed under subsection (d) of Section 7.2 of the General
19Obligation Bond Act. In determining this maximum for State
20fiscal years 2008 through 2010, however, the amount referred to
21in item (i) shall be increased, as a percentage of the
22applicable employee payroll, in equal increments calculated
23from the sum of the required State contribution for State
24fiscal year 2007 plus the applicable portion of the State's
25total debt service payments for fiscal year 2007 on the bonds
26issued in fiscal year 2003 for the purposes of Section 7.2 of

6which are sufficient to cover the accruing normal costs on
7behalf of the employee. However, universities having employees
8who are compensated out of local auxiliary funds, income funds,
9or service enterprise funds are not required to pay such
10contributions on behalf of those employees. The local auxiliary
11funds, income funds, and service enterprise funds of
12universities shall not be considered trust funds for the
13purpose of this Article, but funds of alumni associations,
14foundations, and athletic associations which are affiliated
15with the universities included as employers under this Article

24determined annually by the Board on the basis of the actuarial
25assumptions adopted by the Board and the recommendations of the
26actuary, and shall be expressed as a percentage of salary for

SB0011- 72 -LRB100 06001 RPS 16030 b
1each such employee. The Board shall certify the rate to the
2affected municipalities as soon as may be practical. The

13employer for the previous academic year, determined on a
14full-time equivalent basis, by more than 6%, the participant's
15employer shall pay to the System, in addition to all other
16payments required under this Section and in accordance with
17guidelines established by the System, the present value of the
18increase in benefits resulting from the portion of the increase

18charged at a rate equal to the System's annual actuarially
19assumed rate of return on investment compounded annually from
20the 91st day after receipt of the bill. Payments must be
21concluded within 3 years after the employer's receipt of the
22bill.
23 When assessing payment for any amount due under this
24subsection (g), the System shall include earnings, to the

2involuntary furlough occurring on or after July 1, 2015 and on
3or before June 30, 2017 or (ii) periods of voluntary pay
4reduction in lieu of furlough occurring on or after July 1,

17more than the unadjusted percentage increase in the consumer
18price index-u for the calendar year ending on the December 31
19immediately preceding the beginning of the academic year, then
20the participant's employer shall pay to the System, in addition
21to all other payments required under this Section and in
22accordance with guidelines established by the System, the
23present value of the increase in benefits resulting from the
24portion of the increase in earnings that is in excess of the
25unadjusted percentage increase in the consumer price index-u
26for the applicable calendar year. This present value shall be

SB0011- 76 -LRB100 06001 RPS 16030 b
1computed by the System on the basis of the actuarial
2assumptions and tables used in the most recent actuarial

3under this System and who made the election under paragraph (1)
4of subsection (a) of Section 15-132.9 shall make contributions
5of 0.55% of earnings applicable under this System. The
6contributions made under this subsection (c-5) shall be
7considered as survivor's insurance contributions for purposes
8of this Article and such contributions shall be considered as
9additional contributions for purposes of this Article if the
10employee has elected to participate in the portable benefit
11package and has completed the applicable one-year waiting
12period.
13 (d) If the board by board rule so permits and subject to
14such conditions and limitations as may be specified in its
15rules, a participant may make other additional contributions of
16such percentage of earnings or amounts as the participant shall
17elect in a written notice thereof received by the board.
18 (e) That fraction of a participant's total accumulated
19normal contributions, the numerator of which is equal to the
20number of years of service in excess of that which is required
21to qualify for the maximum retirement annuity, and the
22denominator of which is equal to the total service of the
23participant, shall be considered as accumulated additional
24contributions. The determination of the applicable maximum
25annuity and the adjustment in contributions required by this
26provision shall be made as of the date of the participant's

SB0011- 87 -LRB100 06001 RPS 16030 b
1retirement.
2 (f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, a participating
3employee shall not be required to make contributions under this
4Section after the date upon which continuance of such
5contributions would otherwise cause his or her retirement
6annuity to exceed the maximum retirement annuity as specified
7in clause (1) of subsection (c) of Section 15-136.
8 (g) A participant may make contributions for the purchase
9of service credit under this Article; however, only a
10participating employee may make optional contributions under
11subsection (b) of Section 15-157.1 of this Article.

1certification is based. On or before January 1 of each year,
2beginning January 1, 2013, the State Actuary shall issue a
3preliminary report concerning the proposed certification and
4identifying, if necessary, recommended changes in actuarial

9amount of the required State contribution for the next fiscal
10year. The Board's certification must note, in a written

14fiscal impact of not following the State Actuary's recommended
15changes on the required State contribution.

2Section 15-132.9.
3 On or before October 1, 2018, the Board shall recalculate
4and recertify to the Governor and the General Assembly the
5amount of the required State contribution to the System for
6State fiscal year 2019, taking into account the reduction
7specified under item (3) of subsection (a-1) of Section 15-155.
8 (b) The Board shall certify to the State Comptroller or
9employer, as the case may be, from time to time, by its
10chairperson and secretary, with its seal attached, the amounts
11payable to the System from the various funds.
12 (c) Beginning in State fiscal year 1996, on or as soon as
13possible after the 15th day of each month the Board shall
14submit vouchers for payment of State contributions to the
15System, in a total monthly amount of one-twelfth of the
16required annual State contribution certified under subsection
17(a). From the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 93rd
18General Assembly through June 30, 2004, the Board shall not
19submit vouchers for the remainder of fiscal year 2004 in excess
20of the fiscal year 2004 certified contribution amount
21determined under this Section after taking into consideration
22the transfer to the System under subsection (b) of Section
236z-61 of the State Finance Act. These vouchers shall be paid by
24the State Comptroller and Treasurer by warrants drawn on the
25funds appropriated to the System for that fiscal year.
26 If in any month the amount remaining unexpended from all

SB0011- 91 -LRB100 06001 RPS 16030 b
1other appropriations to the System for the applicable fiscal
2year (including the appropriations to the System under Section
38.12 of the State Finance Act and Section 1 of the State
4Pension Funds Continuing Appropriation Act) is less than the
5amount lawfully vouchered under this Section, the difference
6shall be paid from the General Revenue Fund under the
7continuing appropriation authority provided in Section 1.1 of
8the State Pension Funds Continuing Appropriation Act.
9 (d) So long as the payments received are the full amount
10lawfully vouchered under this Section, payments received by the
11System under this Section shall be applied first toward the
12employer contribution to the self-managed plan established
13under Section 15-158.2. Payments shall be applied second toward
14the employer's portion of the normal costs of the System, as
15defined in subsection (f) of Section 15-155. The balance shall

19result of legislative enactment or otherwise, payments
20sufficient to fully fund the employer contribution to the
21self-managed plan established under Section 15-158.2 and to
22fully fund that portion of the employer's portion of the normal
23costs of the System, as calculated in accordance with Section
2415-155(a-1), then any payments received shall be applied
25proportionately to the optional retirement program established
26under Section 15-158.2 and to the employer's portion of the

7 Sec. 15-198. Application and expiration of new benefit
8increases.
9 (a) As used in this Section, "new benefit increase" means
10an increase in the amount of any benefit provided under this
11Article, or an expansion of the conditions of eligibility for
12any benefit under this Article, that results from an amendment
13to this Code that takes effect after the effective date of this
14amendatory Act of the 94th General Assembly. "New benefit
15increase", however, does not include any benefit increase
16resulting from the changes made to this Article by this
17amendatory Act of the 100th General Assembly.
18 (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Code or any
19subsequent amendment to this Code, every new benefit increase
20is subject to this Section and shall be deemed to be granted
21only in conformance with and contingent upon compliance with
22the provisions of this Section.
23 (c) The Public Act enacting a new benefit increase must
24identify and provide for payment to the System of additional
25funding at least sufficient to fund the resulting annual

SB0011- 93 -LRB100 06001 RPS 16030 b
1increase in cost to the System as it accrues.
2 Every new benefit increase is contingent upon the General
3Assembly providing the additional funding required under this
4subsection. The Commission on Government Forecasting and
5Accountability shall analyze whether adequate additional
6funding has been provided for the new benefit increase and
7shall report its analysis to the Public Pension Division of the
8Department of Insurance Financial and Professional Regulation.
9A new benefit increase created by a Public Act that does not
10include the additional funding required under this subsection
11is null and void. If the Public Pension Division determines
12that the additional funding provided for a new benefit increase
13under this subsection is or has become inadequate, it may so
14certify to the Governor and the State Comptroller and, in the
15absence of corrective action by the General Assembly, the new
16benefit increase shall expire at the end of the fiscal year in
17which the certification is made.
18 (d) Every new benefit increase shall expire 5 years after
19its effective date or on such earlier date as may be specified
20in the language enacting the new benefit increase or provided
21under subsection (c). This does not prevent the General
22Assembly from extending or re-creating a new benefit increase
23by law.
24 (e) Except as otherwise provided in the language creating
25the new benefit increase, a new benefit increase that expires
26under this Section continues to apply to persons who applied

SB0011- 94 -LRB100 06001 RPS 16030 b
1and qualified for the affected benefit while the new benefit
2increase was in effect and to the affected beneficiaries and
3alternate payees of such persons, but does not apply to any
4other person, including without limitation a person who
5continues in service after the expiration date and did not
6apply and qualify for the affected benefit while the new
7benefit increase was in effect.

10 Sec. 15-200.1. Defined contribution plan.
11 (a) By July 1, 2018, the System shall prepare and implement
12a voluntary defined contribution plan for up to 5% of eligible
13active Tier 1 employees. The System shall determine the 5% cap
14by the number of active Tier 1 employees on the effective date
15of this Section. The defined contribution plan developed under
16this Section shall be a plan that aggregates employer and
17employee contributions in individual participant accounts
18which, after meeting any other requirements, are used for
19payouts after retirement in accordance with this Section and
20any other applicable laws.
21 As used in this Section, "defined benefit plan" means the
22retirement plan available under this Article to Tier 1
23employees who have not made the election authorized under this
24Section.
25 (1) Under the defined contribution plan, an active Tier

SB0011- 95 -LRB100 06001 RPS 16030 b
1 1 employee of this System could elect to cease accruing
2 benefits in the defined benefit plan under this Article and
3 begin accruing benefits for future service in the defined
4 contribution plan. Service credit under the defined
5 contribution plan may be used for determining retirement
6 eligibility under the defined benefit plan. An active Tier
7 1 employee who elects to cease accruing benefits in his or
8 her defined benefit plan shall be prohibited from
9 purchasing service credit on or after the date of his or
10 her election. A Tier 1 employee making the irrevocable
11 election provided under this Section shall not receive
12 interest accruals to his or her Rule 2 benefit on or after
13 the date of his or her election.
14 (2) Participants in the defined contribution plan
15 shall pay employee contributions at the same rate as other
16 participants under this Article as determined by the
17 System.
18 (3) State contributions shall be paid into the accounts
19 of all participants in the defined contribution plan at a
20 uniform rate, expressed as a percentage of earnings and
21 determined for each year. This rate shall be no higher than
22 the employer's normal cost for Tier 1 employees in the
23 defined benefit plan for that year, as determined by the
24 System and expressed as a percentage of earnings, and shall
25 be no lower than 3% of earnings. The State shall adjust
26 this rate annually.

SB0011- 96 -LRB100 06001 RPS 16030 b
1 (4) The defined contribution plan shall require 5 years
2 of participation in the defined contribution plan before
3 vesting in State contributions. If the participant fails to
4 vest in them, the State contributions, and the earnings
5 thereon, shall be forfeited.
6 (5) The defined contribution plan may provide for
7 participants in the plan to be eligible for the defined
8 disability benefits available to other participants under
9 this Article. If it does, the System shall reduce the
10 employee contributions credited to the member's defined
11 contribution plan account by an amount determined by the
12 System to cover the cost of offering such benefits.
13 (6) The defined contribution plan shall provide a
14 variety of options for investments. These options shall
15 include investments handled by the System as well as
16 private sector investment options.
17 (7) The defined contribution plan shall provide a
18 variety of options for payouts to retirees and their
19 survivors.
20 (8) To the extent authorized under federal law and as
21 authorized by the System, the plan shall allow former
22 participants in the plan to transfer or roll over employee
23 and vested State contributions, and the earnings thereon,
24 into other qualified retirement plans.
25 (9) The System shall reduce the employee contributions
26 credited to the member's defined contribution plan account

SB0011- 97 -LRB100 06001 RPS 16030 b
1 by an amount determined by the System to cover the cost of
2 offering these benefits and any applicable administrative
3 fees.
4 (b) Only persons who are active Tier 1 employees of the
5System on the effective date of this Section are eligible to
6participate in the defined contribution plan. Participation in
7the defined contribution plan shall be limited to the first 5%
8of eligible persons who elect to participate. The election to
9participate in the defined contribution plan is voluntary and
10irrevocable.
11 (c) An eligible Tier 1 employee may irrevocably elect to
12participate in the defined contribution plan by filing with the
13System a written application to participate that is received by
14the System prior to its determination that 5% of eligible
15persons have elected to participate in the defined contribution
16plan.
17 When the System first determines that 5% of eligible
18persons have elected to participate in the defined contribution
19plan, the System shall provide notice to previously eligible
20employees that the plan is no longer available and shall cease
21accepting applications to participate.
22 (d) The System shall make a good faith effort to contact
23each active Tier 1 employee who is eligible to participate in
24the defined contribution plan. The System shall mail
25information describing the option to join the defined
26contribution plan to each of these employees to his or her last

SB0011- 98 -LRB100 06001 RPS 16030 b
1known address on file with the System. If the employee is not
2responsive to other means of contact, it is sufficient for the
3System to publish the details of the option on its website.
4 Upon request for further information describing the
5option, the System shall provide employees with information
6from the System before exercising the option to join the plan,
7including information on the impact to their vested benefits or
8non-vested service. The individual consultation shall include
9projections of the member's defined benefits at retirement or
10earlier termination of service and the value of the member's
11account at retirement or earlier termination of service. The
12System shall not provide advice or counseling with respect to
13whether the employee should exercise the option. The System
14shall inform Tier 1 employees who are eligible to participate
15in the defined contribution plan that they may also wish to
16obtain information and counsel relating to their option from
17any other available source, including but not limited to labor
18organizations, private counsel, and financial advisors.
19 (e) In no event shall the System, its staff, its authorized
20representatives, or the Board be liable for any information
21given to an employee under this Section. The System may
22coordinate with the Illinois Department of Central Management
23Services and other retirement systems administering a defined
24contribution plan in accordance with this amendatory Act of the
25100th General Assembly to provide information concerning the
26impact of the option set forth in this Section.

SB0011- 99 -LRB100 06001 RPS 16030 b
1 (f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, no
2person shall begin participating in the defined contribution
3plan until it has attained qualified plan status and received
4all necessary approvals from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service.
5 (g) The System shall report on its progress under this
6Section, including the available details of the defined
7contribution plan and the System's plans for informing eligible
8Tier 1 employees about the plan, to the Governor and the
9General Assembly on or before January 15, 2018.
10 (h) If an active Tier 1 employee has not made an election
11under Section 15-134.5 of this Code, then the plan prescribed
12under this Section shall not apply to that Tier 1 employee and
13that Tier 1 employee shall remain eligible to make the election
14prescribed under Section 15-134.5.
15 (i) The intent of this amendatory Act of the 100th General
16Assembly is to ensure that the State's normal cost of
17participation in the defined contribution plan is similar, and
18if possible equal, to the State's normal cost of participation
19in the defined benefit plan, unless a lower State's normal cost
20is necessary to ensure cost neutrality.
21 (j) If Section 15-132.9 is determined to be
22unconstitutional or otherwise invalid by a final unappealable
23decision of an Illinois court or a court of competent
24jurisdiction, then this Section shall not take effect and is
25repealed by operation of law.

17thereafter during the lifetime of the annuitant, determined as
18a percentage of the originally granted retirement annuity or
19disability retirement annuity for increases granted prior to

21amount of annuity, including previous increases under this
22Section, for increases granted on or after January 1, 1990, as

12 one-half the annual unadjusted percentage increase (but
13 not less than zero) in the consumer price index-u for the
14 12 months ending with the September preceding each November
15 1, whichever is less. If the annual unadjusted percentage
16 change in the consumer price index-u for the 12 months

4level percentage of total payroll, including payroll that is
5not deemed pensionable, over the years remaining to and
6including fiscal year 2045 and shall be determined under the
7projected unit credit actuarial cost method.
8 For State fiscal year 2019:
9 (1) The initial calculation and certification shall be

SB0011- 125 -LRB100 06001 RPS 16030 b
1employee payroll, and shall be increased in equal annual
2increments so that by the State fiscal year occurring 5 years

4the State is contributing at the rate otherwise required under
5this Section.
6 For State fiscal years 2012 through 2017 2045, the minimum
7contribution to the System to be made by the State for each
8fiscal year shall be an amount determined by the System to be
9sufficient to bring the total assets of the System up to 90% of
10the total actuarial liabilities of the System by the end of
11State fiscal year 2045. In making these determinations, the
12required State contribution shall be calculated each year as a
13level percentage of payroll over the years remaining to and

23percentages of the applicable employee payroll, even if the
24indicated percentage will produce a State contribution in
25excess of the amount otherwise required under this subsection
26and subsection (a), and notwithstanding any contrary

SB0011- 126 -LRB100 06001 RPS 16030 b
1certification made under subsection (a-1) before the effective
2date of this amendatory Act of 1998: 10.02% in FY 1999; 10.77%
3in FY 2000; 11.47% in FY 2001; 12.16% in FY 2002; 12.86% in FY

12contribution to the System, as a percentage of the applicable
13employee payroll, shall be increased in equal annual increments
14from the required State contribution for State fiscal year
152007, so that by State fiscal year 2011, the State is
16contributing at the rate otherwise required under this Section.
17 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article, the
18total required State contribution for State fiscal year 2010 is
19$2,089,268,000 and shall be made from the proceeds of bonds
20sold in fiscal year 2010 pursuant to Section 7.2 of the General
21Obligation Bond Act, less (i) the pro rata share of bond sale
22expenses determined by the System's share of total bond
23proceeds, (ii) any amounts received from the Common School Fund
24in fiscal year 2010, and (iii) any reduction in bond proceeds
25due to the issuance of discounted bonds, if applicable.

10bonds, if applicable. This amount shall include, in addition to
11the amount certified by the System, an amount necessary to meet
12employer contributions required by the State as an employer
13under paragraph (e) of this Section, which may also be used by
14the System for contributions required by paragraph (a) of
15Section 16-127.
16 Beginning in State fiscal year 2046, the minimum State
17contribution for each fiscal year shall be the amount needed to
18maintain the total assets of the System at 90% of the total
19actuarial liabilities of the System.
20 Amounts received by the System pursuant to Section 25 of
21the Budget Stabilization Act or Section 8.12 of the State
22Finance Act in any fiscal year do not reduce and do not
23constitute payment of any portion of the minimum State
24contribution required under this Article in that fiscal year.
25Such amounts shall not reduce, and shall not be included in the
26calculation of, the required State contributions under this

SB0011- 128 -LRB100 06001 RPS 16030 b
1Article in any future year until the System has reached a
2funding ratio of at least 90%. A reference in this Article to
3the "required State contribution" or any substantially similar
4term does not include or apply to any amounts payable to the
5System under Section 25 of the Budget Stabilization Act.
6 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, the
7required State contribution for State fiscal year 2005 and for
8fiscal year 2008 and each fiscal year thereafter, as calculated
9under this Section and certified under subsection (a-1), shall
10not exceed an amount equal to (i) the amount of the required
11State contribution that would have been calculated under this
12Section for that fiscal year if the System had not received any
13payments under subsection (d) of Section 7.2 of the General
14Obligation Bond Act, minus (ii) the portion of the State's
15total debt service payments for that fiscal year on the bonds
16issued in fiscal year 2003 for the purposes of that Section
177.2, as determined and certified by the Comptroller, that is
18the same as the System's portion of the total moneys
19distributed under subsection (d) of Section 7.2 of the General
20Obligation Bond Act. In determining this maximum for State
21fiscal years 2008 through 2010, however, the amount referred to
22in item (i) shall be increased, as a percentage of the
23applicable employee payroll, in equal increments calculated
24from the sum of the required State contribution for State
25fiscal year 2007 plus the applicable portion of the State's
26total debt service payments for fiscal year 2007 on the bonds

SB0011- 129 -LRB100 06001 RPS 16030 b
1issued in fiscal year 2003 for the purposes of Section 7.2 of
2the General Obligation Bond Act, so that, by State fiscal year
32011, the State is contributing at the rate otherwise required
4under this Section.
5 (c) Payment of the required State contributions and of all
6pensions, retirement annuities, death benefits, refunds, and
7other benefits granted under or assumed by this System, and all
8expenses in connection with the administration and operation
9thereof, are obligations of the State.
10 If members are paid from special trust or federal funds
11which are administered by the employing unit, whether school
12district or other unit, the employing unit shall pay to the
13System from such funds the full accruing retirement costs based
14upon that service, which, beginning July 1, 2014, shall be at a
15rate, expressed as a percentage of salary, equal to the total
16minimum contribution to the System to be made by the State for
17that fiscal year, including both normal cost and unfunded
18liability components, expressed as a percentage of payroll, as
19determined by the System under subsection (b-3) of this
20Section. Employer contributions, based on salary paid to
21members from federal funds, may be forwarded by the
22distributing agency of the State of Illinois to the System
23prior to allocation, in an amount determined in accordance with
24guidelines established by such agency and the System. Any
25contribution for fiscal year 2015 collected as a result of the
26change made by this amendatory Act of the 98th General Assembly

SB0011- 130 -LRB100 06001 RPS 16030 b
1shall be considered a State contribution under subsection (b-3)
2of this Section.
3 (d) Effective July 1, 1986, any employer of a teacher as
4defined in paragraph (8) of Section 16-106 shall pay the
5employer's normal cost of benefits based upon the teacher's
6service, in addition to employee contributions, as determined
7by the System. Such employer contributions shall be forwarded
8monthly in accordance with guidelines established by the
9System.
10 However, with respect to benefits granted under Section
1116-133.4 or 16-133.5 to a teacher as defined in paragraph (8)
12of Section 16-106, the employer's contribution shall be 12%
13(rather than 20%) of the member's highest annual salary rate
14for each year of creditable service granted, and the employer
15shall also pay the required employee contribution on behalf of
16the teacher. For the purposes of Sections 16-133.4 and
1716-133.5, a teacher as defined in paragraph (8) of Section
1816-106 who is serving in that capacity while on leave of
19absence from another employer under this Article shall not be
20considered an employee of the employer from which the teacher
21is on leave.
22 (e) Beginning July 1, 1998, every employer of a teacher
23shall pay to the System an employer contribution computed as
24follows:
25 (1) Beginning July 1, 1998 through June 30, 1999, the
26 employer contribution shall be equal to 0.3% of each

SB0011- 131 -LRB100 06001 RPS 16030 b
1 teacher's salary.
2 (2) Beginning July 1, 1999 and thereafter, the employer
3 contribution shall be equal to 0.58% of each teacher's
4 salary.
5The school district or other employing unit may pay these
6employer contributions out of any source of funding available
7for that purpose and shall forward the contributions to the
8System on the schedule established for the payment of member
9contributions.
10 These employer contributions are intended to offset a
11portion of the cost to the System of the increases in
12retirement benefits resulting from this amendatory Act of 1998.
13 Each employer of teachers is entitled to a credit against
14the contributions required under this subsection (e) with
15respect to salaries paid to teachers for the period January 1,
162002 through June 30, 2003, equal to the amount paid by that
17employer under subsection (a-5) of Section 6.6 of the State
18Employees Group Insurance Act of 1971 with respect to salaries
19paid to teachers for that period.
20 The additional 1% employee contribution required under
21Section 16-152 by this amendatory Act of 1998 is the
22responsibility of the teacher and not the teacher's employer,
23unless the employer agrees, through collective bargaining or
24otherwise, to make the contribution on behalf of the teacher.
25 If an employer is required by a contract in effect on May
261, 1998 between the employer and an employee organization to

SB0011- 132 -LRB100 06001 RPS 16030 b
1pay, on behalf of all its full-time employees covered by this
2Article, all mandatory employee contributions required under
3this Article, then the employer shall be excused from paying
4the employer contribution required under this subsection (e)
5for the balance of the term of that contract. The employer and
6the employee organization shall jointly certify to the System
7the existence of the contractual requirement, in such form as
8the System may prescribe. This exclusion shall cease upon the
9termination, extension, or renewal of the contract at any time
10after May 1, 1998.
11 (f) For school years beginning on or after June 1, 2005 and
12before July 1, 2018, if If the amount of a teacher's salary for
13any school year used to determine final average salary exceeds
14the member's annual full-time salary rate with the same
15employer for the previous school year by more than 6%, the
16teacher's employer shall pay to the System, in addition to all
17other payments required under this Section and in accordance
18with guidelines established by the System, the present value of
19the increase in benefits resulting from the portion of the
20increase in salary that is in excess of 6%. This present value
21shall be computed by the System on the basis of the actuarial
22assumptions and tables used in the most recent actuarial
23valuation of the System that is available at the time of the
24computation. If a teacher's salary for the 2005-2006 school
25year is used to determine final average salary under this
26subsection (f), then the changes made to this subsection (f) by

SB0011- 133 -LRB100 06001 RPS 16030 b
1Public Act 94-1057 shall apply in calculating whether the
2increase in his or her salary is in excess of 6%. For the
3purposes of this Section, change in employment under Section
410-21.12 of the School Code on or after June 1, 2005 shall
5constitute a change in employer. The System may require the
6employer to provide any pertinent information or
7documentation. The changes made to this subsection (f) by this
8amendatory Act of the 94th General Assembly apply without
9regard to whether the teacher was in service on or after its
10effective date.
11 Whenever it determines that a payment is or may be required
12under this subsection, the System shall calculate the amount of
13the payment and bill the employer for that amount. The bill
14shall specify the calculations used to determine the amount
15due. If the employer disputes the amount of the bill, it may,
16within 30 days after receipt of the bill, apply to the System
17in writing for a recalculation. The application must specify in
18detail the grounds of the dispute and, if the employer asserts
19that the calculation is subject to subsection (g) or (h) of
20this Section, must include an affidavit setting forth and
21attesting to all facts within the employer's knowledge that are
22pertinent to the applicability of that subsection. Upon
23receiving a timely application for recalculation, the System
24shall review the application and, if appropriate, recalculate
25the amount due.
26 The employer contributions required under this subsection

SB0011- 134 -LRB100 06001 RPS 16030 b
1(f) may be paid in the form of a lump sum within 90 days after
2receipt of the bill. If the employer contributions are not paid
3within 90 days after receipt of the bill, then interest will be
4charged at a rate equal to the System's annual actuarially
5assumed rate of return on investment compounded annually from
6the 91st day after receipt of the bill. Payments must be
7concluded within 3 years after the employer's receipt of the
8bill.
9 (f-1) For school years beginning on or after July 1, 2018,
10if the amount of a teacher's salary for any school year used to
11determine final average salary exceeds the member's annual
12full-time salary rate with the same employer for the previous
13school year by more than the unadjusted percentage increase in
14the consumer price index-u for the calendar year ending on the
15December 31 immediately preceding the beginning of the school
16year, then the teacher's employer shall pay to the System, in
17addition to all other payments required under this Section and
18in accordance with guidelines established by the System, the
19present value of the increase in benefits resulting from the
20portion of the increase in salary that is in excess of the
21unadjusted percentage increase in the consumer price index-u
22for the applicable calendar year. This present value shall be
23computed by the System on the basis of the actuarial
24assumptions and tables used in the most recent actuarial
25valuation of the System that is available at the time of the
26computation. The System may require the employer to provide any

SB0011- 135 -LRB100 06001 RPS 16030 b
1pertinent information or documentation.
2 Whenever it determines that a payment is or may be required
3under this subsection (f-1), the System shall calculate the
4amount of the payment and bill the employer for that amount.
5The bill shall specify the calculations used to determine the
6amount due. If the employer disputes the amount of the bill, it
7may, within 30 days after receipt of the bill, apply to the
8System in writing for a recalculation. The application must
9specify in detail the grounds of the dispute and, if the
10employer asserts that the calculation is subject to subsection
11(h-1) of this Section, must include an affidavit setting forth
12and attesting to all facts within the employer's knowledge that
13are pertinent to the applicability of subsection (h-1). Upon
14receiving a timely application for recalculation, the System
15shall review the application and, if appropriate, recalculate
16the amount due.
17 The employer contributions required under this subsection
18(f-1) may be paid in the form of a lump sum within 90 days after
19receipt of the bill. If the employer contributions are not paid
20within 90 days after receipt of the bill, then interest shall
21be charged at a rate equal to the System's annual actuarially
22assumed rate of return on investment compounded annually from
23the 91st day after receipt of the bill. Payments must be
24concluded within 3 years after the employer's receipt of the
25bill.
26 For the purposes of this Section, "consumer price index-u"

SB0011- 136 -LRB100 06001 RPS 16030 b
1means the index published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of
2the United States Department of Labor that measures the average
3change in prices of goods and services purchased by all urban
4consumers, United States city average, all items, 1982-84 =
5100. The new amount resulting from each annual adjustment shall
6be determined by the Public Pension Division of the Department
7of Insurance and made available to the boards of the retirement
8systems and pension funds by November 1 of each year.
9 (g) This subsection (g) applies only to payments made or
10salary increases given on or after June 1, 2005 but before July
111, 2011. The changes made by Public Act 94-1057 shall not
12require the System to refund any payments received before July
1331, 2006 (the effective date of Public Act 94-1057).
14 When assessing payment for any amount due under subsection
15(f), the System shall exclude salary increases paid to teachers
16under contracts or collective bargaining agreements entered
17into, amended, or renewed before June 1, 2005.
18 When assessing payment for any amount due under subsection
19(f), the System shall exclude salary increases paid to a
20teacher at a time when the teacher is 10 or more years from
21retirement eligibility under Section 16-132 or 16-133.2.
22 When assessing payment for any amount due under subsection
23(f), the System shall exclude salary increases resulting from
24overload work, including summer school, when the school
25district has certified to the System, and the System has
26approved the certification, that (i) the overload work is for

SB0011- 137 -LRB100 06001 RPS 16030 b
1the sole purpose of classroom instruction in excess of the
2standard number of classes for a full-time teacher in a school
3district during a school year and (ii) the salary increases are
4equal to or less than the rate of pay for classroom instruction
5computed on the teacher's current salary and work schedule.
6 When assessing payment for any amount due under subsection
7(f), the System shall exclude a salary increase resulting from
8a promotion (i) for which the employee is required to hold a
9certificate or supervisory endorsement issued by the State
10Teacher Certification Board that is a different certification
11or supervisory endorsement than is required for the teacher's
12previous position and (ii) to a position that has existed and
13been filled by a member for no less than one complete academic
14year and the salary increase from the promotion is an increase
15that results in an amount no greater than the lesser of the
16average salary paid for other similar positions in the district
17requiring the same certification or the amount stipulated in
18the collective bargaining agreement for a similar position
19requiring the same certification.
20 When assessing payment for any amount due under subsection
21(f), the System shall exclude any payment to the teacher from
22the State of Illinois or the State Board of Education over
23which the employer does not have discretion, notwithstanding
24that the payment is included in the computation of final
25average salary.
26 (h) When assessing payment for any amount due under

SB0011- 138 -LRB100 06001 RPS 16030 b
1subsection (f), the System shall exclude any salary increase
2described in subsection (g) of this Section given on or after
3July 1, 2011 but before July 1, 2014 under a contract or
4collective bargaining agreement entered into, amended, or
5renewed on or after June 1, 2005 but before July 1, 2011.
6Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, any
7payments made or salary increases given after June 30, 2014
8shall be used in assessing payment for any amount due under
9subsection (f) of this Section.
10 (h-1) When assessing payment for any amount due under
11subsection (f-1), the System shall exclude earnings increases
12paid to participants under contracts or collective bargaining
13agreements entered into, amended, or renewed before the
14effective date of this amendatory Act of the 100th General
15Assembly.
16 (i) The System shall prepare a report and file copies of
17the report with the Governor and the General Assembly by
18January 1, 2007 that contains all of the following information:
19 (1) The number of recalculations required by the
20 changes made to this Section by Public Act 94-1057 for each
21 employer.
22 (2) The dollar amount by which each employer's
23 contribution to the System was changed due to
24 recalculations required by Public Act 94-1057.
25 (3) The total amount the System received from each
26 employer as a result of the changes made to this Section by

SB0011- 139 -LRB100 06001 RPS 16030 b
1 Public Act 94-4.
2 (4) The increase in the required State contribution
3 resulting from the changes made to this Section by Public
4 Act 94-1057.
5 (i-5) For school years beginning on or after July 1, 2018,
6if the amount of a participant's salary for any school year,
7determined on a full-time equivalent basis, exceeds the amount
8of the salary set for the Governor, the participant's employer
9shall pay to the System, in addition to all other payments
10required under this Section and in accordance with guidelines
11established by the System, the amount of earnings that exceed
12the salary set for the Governor multiplied by the level
13percentage of payroll used in that fiscal year as determined by
14the System to be sufficient to bring the total assets of the
15System up to 90% of the total actuarial liabilities of the
16System by the end of State fiscal year 2045. This amount shall
17be computed by the System on the basis of the actuarial
18assumptions and tables used in the most recent actuarial
19valuation of the System that is available at the time of the
20computation. The System may require the employer to provide any
21pertinent information or documentation.
22 Whenever it determines that a payment is or may be required
23under this subsection, the System shall calculate the amount of
24the payment and bill the employer for that amount. The bill
25shall specify the calculations used to determine the amount
26due. If the employer disputes the amount of the bill, it may,

SB0011- 140 -LRB100 06001 RPS 16030 b
1within 30 days after receipt of the bill, apply to the System
2in writing for a recalculation. The application must specify in
3detail the grounds of the dispute. Upon receiving a timely
4application for recalculation, the System shall review the
5application and, if appropriate, recalculate the amount due.
6 The employer contributions required under this subsection
7may be paid in the form of a lump sum within 90 days after
8receipt of the bill. If the employer contributions are not paid
9within 90 days after receipt of the bill, then interest will be
10charged at a rate equal to the System's annual actuarially
11assumed rate of return on investment compounded annually from
12the 91st day after receipt of the bill. Payments must be
13concluded within 3 years after the employer's receipt of the
14bill.
15 (j) For purposes of determining the required State
16contribution to the System, the value of the System's assets
17shall be equal to the actuarial value of the System's assets,
18which shall be calculated as follows:
19 As of June 30, 2008, the actuarial value of the System's
20assets shall be equal to the market value of the assets as of
21that date. In determining the actuarial value of the System's
22assets for fiscal years after June 30, 2008, any actuarial
23gains or losses from investment return incurred in a fiscal
24year shall be recognized in equal annual amounts over the
255-year period following that fiscal year.
26 (k) For purposes of determining the required State

SB0011- 141 -LRB100 06001 RPS 16030 b
1contribution to the system for a particular year, the actuarial
2value of assets shall be assumed to earn a rate of return equal
3to the system's actuarially assumed rate of return.
4 (l) If Section 16-122.9 is determined to be
5unconstitutional or otherwise invalid by a final unappealable
6decision of an Illinois court or a court of competent
7jurisdiction, then the changes made to this Section by this
8amendatory Act of the 100th General Assembly shall not take
9effect and are repealed by operation of law.

16 Sec. 16-203. Application and expiration of new benefit
17increases.
18 (a) As used in this Section, "new benefit increase" means
19an increase in the amount of any benefit provided under this
20Article, or an expansion of the conditions of eligibility for
21any benefit under this Article, that results from an amendment
22to this Code that takes effect after June 1, 2005 (the
23effective date of Public Act 94-4). "New benefit increase",
24however, does not include any benefit increase resulting from
25the changes made to this Article by Public Act 95-910 or this

SB0011- 142 -LRB100 06001 RPS 16030 b
1amendatory Act of the 100th 95th General Assembly.
2 (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Code or any
3subsequent amendment to this Code, every new benefit increase
4is subject to this Section and shall be deemed to be granted
5only in conformance with and contingent upon compliance with
6the provisions of this Section.
7 (c) The Public Act enacting a new benefit increase must
8identify and provide for payment to the System of additional
9funding at least sufficient to fund the resulting annual
10increase in cost to the System as it accrues.
11 Every new benefit increase is contingent upon the General
12Assembly providing the additional funding required under this
13subsection. The Commission on Government Forecasting and
14Accountability shall analyze whether adequate additional
15funding has been provided for the new benefit increase and
16shall report its analysis to the Public Pension Division of the
17Department of Insurance Financial and Professional Regulation.
18A new benefit increase created by a Public Act that does not
19include the additional funding required under this subsection
20is null and void. If the Public Pension Division determines
21that the additional funding provided for a new benefit increase
22under this subsection is or has become inadequate, it may so
23certify to the Governor and the State Comptroller and, in the
24absence of corrective action by the General Assembly, the new
25benefit increase shall expire at the end of the fiscal year in
26which the certification is made.

SB0011- 143 -LRB100 06001 RPS 16030 b
1 (d) Every new benefit increase shall expire 5 years after
2its effective date or on such earlier date as may be specified
3in the language enacting the new benefit increase or provided
4under subsection (c). This does not prevent the General
5Assembly from extending or re-creating a new benefit increase
6by law.
7 (e) Except as otherwise provided in the language creating
8the new benefit increase, a new benefit increase that expires
9under this Section continues to apply to persons who applied
10and qualified for the affected benefit while the new benefit
11increase was in effect and to the affected beneficiaries and
12alternate payees of such persons, but does not apply to any
13other person, including without limitation a person who
14continues in service after the expiration date and did not
15apply and qualify for the affected benefit while the new
16benefit increase was in effect.

19 Sec. 16-205.1. Defined contribution plan.
20 (a) By July 1, 2018, the System shall prepare and implement
21a voluntary defined contribution plan for up to 5% of eligible
22active Tier 1 employees. The System shall determine the 5% cap
23by the number of active Tier 1 employees on the effective date
24of this Section. The defined contribution plan developed under
25this Section shall be a plan that aggregates employer and

SB0011- 144 -LRB100 06001 RPS 16030 b
1employee contributions in individual participant accounts
2which, after meeting any other requirements, are used for
3payouts after retirement in accordance with this Section and
4any other applicable laws.
5 As used in this Section, "defined benefit plan" means the
6retirement plan available under this Article to Tier 1
7employees who have not made the election authorized under this
8Section.
9 (1) Under the defined contribution plan, an active Tier
10 1 employee of this System could elect to cease accruing
11 benefits in the defined benefit plan under this Article and
12 begin accruing benefits for future service in the defined
13 contribution plan. Service credit under the defined
14 contribution plan may be used for determining retirement
15 eligibility under the defined benefit plan. An active Tier
16 1 employee who elects to cease accruing benefits in his or
17 her defined benefit plan shall be prohibited from
18 purchasing service credit on or after the date of his or
19 her election. A Tier 1 employee making the irrevocable
20 election provided under this Section shall not receive
21 interest accruals to his or her benefit under paragraph (A)
22 of subsection (a) of Section 16-133 on or after the date of
23 his or her election.
24 (2) Participants in the defined contribution plan
25 shall pay employee contributions at the same rate as Tier 1
26 employees in this System who do not participate in the

SB0011- 145 -LRB100 06001 RPS 16030 b
1 defined contribution plan.
2 (3) State contributions shall be paid into the accounts
3 of all participants in the defined contribution plan at a
4 uniform rate, expressed as a percentage of salary and
5 determined for each year. This rate shall be no higher than
6 the employer's normal cost for Tier 1 employees in the
7 defined benefit plan for that year, as determined by the
8 System and expressed as a percentage of salary, and shall
9 be no lower than 0% of salary. The State shall adjust this
10 rate annually.
11 (4) The defined contribution plan shall require 5 years
12 of participation in the defined contribution plan before
13 vesting in State contributions. If the participant fails to
14 vest in them, the State contributions, and the earnings
15 thereon, shall be forfeited.
16 (5) The defined contribution plan may provide for
17 participants in the plan to be eligible for the defined
18 disability benefits available to other participants under
19 this Article. If it does, the System shall reduce the
20 employee contributions credited to the member's defined
21 contribution plan account by an amount determined by the
22 System to cover the cost of offering such benefits.
23 (6) The defined contribution plan shall provide a
24 variety of options for investments. These options shall
25 include investments in a fund created by the System and
26 managed in accordance with legal and fiduciary standards,

SB0011- 146 -LRB100 06001 RPS 16030 b
1 as well as investment options otherwise available.
2 (7) The defined contribution plan shall provide a
3 variety of options for payouts to retirees and their
4 survivors.
5 (8) To the extent authorized under federal law and as
6 authorized by the System, the plan shall allow former
7 participants in the plan to transfer or roll over employee
8 and vested State contributions, and the earnings thereon,
9 into other qualified retirement plans.
10 (9) The System shall reduce the employee contributions
11 credited to the member's defined contribution plan account
12 by an amount determined by the System to cover the cost of
13 offering these benefits and any applicable administrative
14 fees.
15 (b) Only persons who are active Tier 1 employees of the
16System on the effective date of this Section are eligible to
17participate in the defined contribution plan. Participation in
18the defined contribution plan shall be limited to the first 5%
19of eligible persons who elect to participate. The election to
20participate in the defined contribution plan is voluntary and
21irrevocable.
22 (c) An eligible Tier 1 employee may irrevocably elect to
23participate in the defined contribution plan by filing with the
24System a written application to participate that is received by
25the System prior to its determination that 5% of eligible
26persons have elected to participate in the defined contribution

SB0011- 147 -LRB100 06001 RPS 16030 b
1plan.
2 When the System first determines that 5% of eligible
3persons have elected to participate in the defined contribution
4plan, the System shall provide notice to previously eligible
5employees that the plan is no longer available and shall cease
6accepting applications to participate.
7 (d) The System shall make a good faith effort to contact
8each active Tier 1 employee who is eligible to participate in
9the defined contribution plan. The System shall mail
10information describing the option to join the defined
11contribution plan to each of these employees to his or her last
12known address on file with the System. If the employee is not
13responsive to other means of contact, it is sufficient for the
14System to publish the details of the option on its website.
15 Upon request for further information describing the
16option, the System shall provide employees with information
17from the System before exercising the option to join the plan,
18including information on the impact to their vested benefits or
19non-vested service. The individual consultation shall include
20projections of the member's defined benefits at retirement or
21earlier termination of service and the value of the member's
22account at retirement or earlier termination of service. The
23System shall not provide advice or counseling with respect to
24whether the employee should exercise the option. The System
25shall inform Tier 1 employees who are eligible to participate
26in the defined contribution plan that they may also wish to

SB0011- 148 -LRB100 06001 RPS 16030 b
1obtain information and counsel relating to their option from
2any other available source, including but not limited to labor
3organizations, private counsel, and financial advisors.
4 (e) In no event shall the System, its staff, its authorized
5representatives, or the Board be liable for any information
6given to an employee under this Section. The System may
7coordinate with the Illinois Department of Central Management
8Services and other retirement systems administering a defined
9contribution plan in accordance with this amendatory Act of the
10100th General Assembly to provide information concerning the
11impact of the option set forth in this Section.
12 (f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, no
13person shall begin participating in the defined contribution
14plan until it has attained qualified plan status and received
15all necessary approvals from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service.
16 (g) The System shall report on its progress under this
17Section, including the available details of the defined
18contribution plan and the System's plans for informing eligible
19Tier 1 employees about the plan, to the Governor and the
20General Assembly on or before January 15, 2018.
21 (h) The intent of this amendatory Act of the 100th General
22Assembly is to ensure that the State's normal cost of
23participation in the defined contribution plan is similar, and
24if possible equal, to the State's normal cost of participation
25in the defined benefit plan, unless a lower State's normal cost
26is necessary to ensure cost neutrality.
