A BILL FOR

AN ACT concerning public employee benefits.
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,

Any participant in this fund (other than a member of the
fire department of the city) who has rendered service as a
member of the police department of the city for a period of 3
years or more is entitled to credit for the various purposes of
this Article for service rendered prior to becoming a member or
subsequent thereto for the following periods:

organization whose membership consists of members of the
police department, the Public Vehicle License Commission
and the board of election commissioners of the city.
(c) While performing safety or investigative work for
the county in which such city is principally located or for

performing investigative work for the department as a
civilian employee of the department.
(d) While on leave of absence from the police
department of the city and serving as the chief of police
of a police department outside the city.
No credit shall be granted in this fund, however, for this
service if the policeman has credit therefor in any other

the amount he would have contributed with interest had he
remained an active member of the police department in the
position he occupied as a result of a civil service competitive
examination, certification and appointment by the Civil

Concurrently with such contributions, the city shall
contribute the amounts provided by this Article. No credit
shall be allowed for any period of time for which contributions
by the policeman have not been paid. The period of service
rendered by such policeman prior to the date he became a member
of the police department of the city or while detailed,
assigned or on leave of absence and employed in any of the
departments set forth hereinabove in this Section for which
such policeman has contributed to this fund shall be credited
to him as service for all the purposes of this Article, except
that he shall not have any of the rights conferred by the
provisions of Sections 5-127 and 5-162 of this Article.
The changes in this Section made by Public Act 86-273 shall
apply to members of the fund who have not begun receiving a
pension under this Article on August 23, 1989, without regard
to whether employment is terminated before that date.
