Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the State Universities Article of the Illinois Pension Code. Provides that if an employer fails to transmit required contributions to the System for more than 120 days after the payment of those contributions is due, the Board may certify to the State Comptroller the amount of those delinquent employer contributions and the State Comptroller shall deduct the certified amount from State funds to the employer and remit the amount deducted to the System. Provides that if State funds from which those deductions may be made are not available or if deductions are delayed for longer than 120 days after the date of the certification to the Comptroller, the Board may proceed against the employer to recover the amounts of such delinquent payments in the appropriate circuit court. Adds similar provisions if the employer is a community college district. Makes other changes. Effective immediately.

Senate Floor Amendment No. 1
Deletes reference to:
40 ILCS 5/15-155.1 new
Adds reference to:
40 ILCS 5/15-155from Ch. 108 1/2, par. 15-155

Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Amends the State Universities Article of the Illinois Pension Code. Provides that for State fiscal years (rather than academic years) beginning on or after July 1, 2017, if the amount of a participant's earnings for any State fiscal year exceeds the amount of the salary set by law for the Governor that is in effect on July 1 of that fiscal year (rather than the salary set for the Governor), the participant's employer shall pay to the System an additional contribution. Provides that the additional contribution may be paid within 90 days after issuance (rather than receipt) of the bill. Provides that if the employer contributions are not paid within 90 days after issuance (rather than receipt) of the bill, then interest will be charged at a specified rate compounded annually from the 91st day after issuance (rather than receipt) of the bill. Provides that all payments must be received (rather than concluded) within 3 years after issuance (rather than the employer's receipt) of the bill. Provides that if the employer fails to make complete payment, including payment of any applicable interest, within 3 years, then the System may, after giving notice to the employer, certify the delinquent amount to the State Comptroller, and the Comptroller shall thereupon deduct the certified delinquent amount from State funds payable to the employer and pay them instead to the System. Provides that the provisions concerning earnings in excess of the Governor's salary do not apply to the extent an employer pays the employer normal cost of such earnings. Provides that the changes are intended to apply retroactively to July 6, 2017. Effective immediately.

House Committee Amendment No. 1
Adds reference to:
40 ILCS 5/16-158

Further amends the Illinois Pension Code. In provisions of the Downstate Teacher Article that require a participant's employer to make an additional contribution if the participant's salary exceeds the amount of salary set for the Governor, removes a provision that specifies that the salary of the participant is determined on a full-time equivalent basis.
