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