A BILL FOR

AN ACT concerning State government.

Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois, represented in the General Assembly:

Section 5. The State Salary and Annuity Withholding Act is amended by changing Section 4 as follows:

(5 ILCS 365/4) (from Ch. 127, par. 354)

Sec. 4. Authorization of withholding. An employee or annuitant may authorize the withholding of a portion of his salary, wages, or annuity for any one or more of the following purposes:

(1) for purchase of United States Savings Bonds;

(2) for payment of premiums on life or accident and health insurance as defined in Section 4 of the "Illinois Insurance Code", approved June 29, 1937, as amended, and for payment of premiums on policies of automobile insurance as defined in Section 143.13 of the "Illinois Insurance Code", as amended, and the personal multiperil coverages commonly known as homeowner's insurance. However, no portion of salaries, wages or annuities may be withheld to pay premiums on automobile, homeowner's, life or accident and health insurance policies issued by any one insurance company or insurance service company unless a minimum of 100 employees or annuitants insured by that company authorize the withholding by an Office within 6 months after such withholding begins. If such minimum is not satisfied the Office may discontinue withholding for such company. For any insurance company or insurance service company which has not previously had withholding, the Office may allow withholding for premiums, where less than 100 policies have been written, to cover a probationary period. An insurance company which has discontinued withholding may reinstate it upon presentation of facts indicating new management or re-organization satisfactory to the Office;

(3) for payment to any labor organization designated by the employee;

(4) for payment of dues to any association the membership of which consists of State employees and former State employees;

(5) for deposit in any credit union, in which State employees are within the field of membership as a result of their employment;

(6) for payment to or for the benefit of an institution of higher education by an employee of that institution;

(7) for payment of parking fees at the parking facilities located on the Urbana-Champaign campus of the University of Illinois;

(8) for voluntary payment to the State of Illinois of amounts then due and payable to the State;

(9) for investment purchases made as a participant or contributor to qualified tuition programs established pursuant to Section 529 of the Internal Revenue Code or qualified ABLE programs established pursuant to Section 529A of the Internal Revenue Code;

(10) for voluntary payment to the Illinois Department of Revenue of amounts due or to become due under the Illinois Income Tax Act;

(11) for payment of optional contributions to a retirement system subject to the provisions of the Illinois Pension Code;

(12) for contributions to organizations found qualified by the State Comptroller under the requirements set forth in the Voluntary Payroll Deductions Act of 1983;

(13) for payment of fringe benefit contributions to employee benefit trust funds (whether such employee benefit trust funds are governed by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, 29 U.S.C. §1001 et seq. or not) for State contractual employees hired through labor organizations and working pursuant to a signed agreement between a labor organization and a State agency, whether subject to the Illinois Prevailing Wage Act or not; this item (13) is not intended to limit employee benefit trust funds and the contributions to be made thereto to be limited to those which are encompassed for purposes of computing the prevailing wage in any particular locale, but rather such employee benefit trusts are intended to include contributions to be made to such funds that are intended to assist in training, building and maintenance, industry advancement, and the like, including but not limited to those benefit trust funds such as pension and welfare that are normally computed in the prevailing wage rates and which otherwise would be subject to contribution obligations by private employers that are signatory to agreements with labor organizations;

(14) for voluntary payment as part of the Illinois Gives Initiative under Section 26 of the State Comptroller Act; or

(15) for payment of parking fees at the underground facility located at the intersection of South Spring Street and West Edwards Street south of the William G. Stratton State Office Building in Springfield or the parking ramp located at 401 South College Street, west of the William G. Stratton State Office Building in Springfield.

Section 10. The Secretary of State Act is amended by changing Section 12 as follows:

(15 ILCS 305/12) (from Ch. 124, par. 10.2)

Sec. 12. Parking fees; leases.

(a) The Secretary of State shall impose a fee of $20 per month payable by all State employees parking vehicles in the underground parking facility located at the intersection of South Spring Street and West Edwards Street south of the William G. Stratton State Office Building in Springfield and the parking ramp located at 401 South College Street located west of the William G. Stratton State Office Building in Springfield, unless a non-State employee requests a space located in either garage, in which case the Secretary shall set the fee by rule. Except as otherwise provided in this Section, State officers and employees who make application for and are allotted parking places in such parking facilities shall authorize the Comptroller to deduct the required fees from their payroll checks under the State Salary and Annuity Withholding Act and the amounts so withheld shall be deposited as provided in Section 8 of that Act. Until December 31, 2024, members and employees of the General Assembly who make application for and are allotted parking places in such parking facilities may, alternatively, upon application by the Secretary of the Senate or the Clerk of the House of Representatives, have their parking fee paid by the General Assembly. The amounts paid in this instance would also be deposited as provided in Section 8 of the State Salary and Annuity Withholding Act. The President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives may authorize payment of the fees from appropriations made to the General Assembly. Persons who are not subject to the State Salary and Annuity Withholding Act and who are allotted parking places under this Section shall pay the required fees directly to the Office of the Secretary of State and the amounts so collected shall be deposited in the State Parking Facility Maintenance Fund in the State Treasury.

(b) The Secretary of State may enter into agreements with public or private entities or individuals to lease to those entities or individuals parking spaces at State-owned Secretary of State facilities. Such agreements may be executed only upon a determination by the Secretary that leasing the parking spaces will not adversely impact the delivery of services to the public. The fee to be charged to the entity or individual leasing the parking spaces shall be established by rule. All funds collected by the Secretary pursuant to such leases shall be deposited in the State Parking Facility Maintenance Fund and shall be used for the maintenance and repair of parking lots at State-owned Secretary of State facilities.

The Architect may enter into agreements with other State agencies for the provision of materials or performance of services necessary for the implementation of the master plan.

State officers and agencies providing normal, day-to-day repair, maintenance, or landscaping or providing security, commissary, utility, parking, banking, tour guide, event scheduling, or other operational services for buildings and facilities within the legislative complex immediately prior to the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 93rd General Assembly shall continue to provide that normal, day-to-day repair, maintenance, or landscaping or those services on the same basis, whether by contract or employees, that the repair, maintenance, landscaping, or services were provided immediately prior to the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 93rd General Assembly, subject to the provisions of the master plan and with the approval of or as otherwise directed by the Architect of the Capitol.
