 3    the Fund during such year had he  been  contributing  at  the
 4    rate  then  in  effect  for  members  of  the  County  Police
 5    Department and the amount actually contributed, plus interest
 6    thereon at the rate of 6% per annum from the end of such year
 7    to the date of payment.
 8        (f-1)  The   term  "corrections  officer"  means  (i)  an

12    juvenile  probation  officer who works for the chief judge of
13    the circuit court of the county.
14        (g)  In no case shall an annual annuity provided in  this

17    immediately preceding the date of withdrawal from service.
18        A deputy sheriff or corrections officer may, in addition,
19    be  entitled  to  the  benefits  provided by Section 9-133 or

23    member of the State Employees' Retirement System of  Illinois
24    to  any  Fund established under this Article of which he is a
25    member, and such  transferred  creditable  service  shall  be
26    included  as  service  for  the  purpose  of  calculating his
27    benefits under this Article to the extent  that  the  payment
28    specified in Section 14-105.3 has been received by such Fund.
29        (i)  An  active  deputy sheriff who has at least 15 years
30    of service credit in that capacity may elect to have  any  or
31    all  of  his  credits under this Article for service not as a
32    deputy sheriff deemed to be credits for service as  a  deputy
33    sheriff,  by  filing  a  written  election  with  the  Board,
34    accompanied  by  payment of an amount to be determined by the
 
                            -5-      LRB093 09342 EFG 09576 b
 1    Board, equal to (1) the  difference  between  the  amount  of
 2    employee  contributions actually contributed by the applicant
 3    for such service not as a deputy  sheriff,  and  the  amounts
 4    that  would have been contributed had such contributions been
 5    made at the rates applicable to service as a deputy  sheriff,
 6    plus  (2)  interest  thereon  at  the  rate  of 3% per annum,

 9        (i-1)  An  active corrections officer who has at least 15
10    years of service credit in that capacity may  elect  to  have

13    a  corrections  officer by filing a written election with the
14    Board, accompanied by payment of an amount to  be  determined
15    by  the Board, equal to (1) the difference between the amount
16    of  employee  contributions  actually  contributed   by   the
17    applicant  for  that service not as a corrections officer and
18    the amounts  that  would  have  been  contributed  had  those
19    contributions been made at the rates applicable to service as
20    a  corrections officer, plus (2) interest thereon at the rate
21    of 3% per  annum,  compounded  annually,  from  the  date  of
22    service to the date of payment.
23        (j)  Beginning  on  the effective date of this amendatory
24    Act of 1996, the terms "deputy  sheriff"  and  "member  of  a
25    County Police Department" shall also include any chief of the

 6    the  County  Sheriff's  Department  before  the  date  of the
 7    election included as service as  a  deputy  sheriff  for  the
 8    purposes   of   this   Section,   by   making  an  additional
 9    contribution for each year of  such  service,  equal  to  the
10    difference  between  the  amount  that  he  or she would have
11    contributed to the Fund during that year at the rate then  in

16    in  paragraph  (b)(2)  or (d) of Section 9-109, or any future

22    date,  with  interest  on  both such amounts at 4% per annum,
23    equals the sum that would have been to his credit  from  sums
24    deducted  from  his  salary  if deductions at the rate herein
25    stated had been made  during  his  entire  service  until  he
26    attained age 65, with interest at 4% per annum for the period
27    subsequent  to  his  attainment  of  age  65. Such deductions

21        representing  employer  contributions,  and  (3)  regular
22        interest  thereon from the date of service to the date of
23        payment.  However, if the former  member  of  the  county
24        police department retires on or after January 1, 1993 but
25        no  later  than  March  1,  1993, the amount representing

 6        date of the employee's withdrawal from  service,  not  to
 7        exceed  a  total of 180 days, provided that the amount of
 8        such accumulated sick leave is certified  by  the  County
 9        Comptroller  to the Board and the employee pays an amount
10        equal to 8.5%  (9%  for  members  of  the  County  Police

15        made  within  30  days  after  the date of withdrawal and
16        prior to receipt of the first annuity check.  The service
17        credit granted for such accumulated sick leave shall  not
18        change  the employee's date of withdrawal for the purpose
19        of computing the effective date of the annuity.
20        (3)  In computing the term of service of an  employee  on
21    or  after  the effective date for ordinary disability benefit
22    purposes, the following periods of time shall be  counted  as
23    periods of service:
24             (a)  Unless  otherwise  specified  in Section 9-157,
25        the time during which he  performed  the  duties  of  his

30        disability benefit.
31             (d)  Any period of disability for which he  received
32        whole or part pay.
33        (4)  For   an  employee  who  on  January  1,  1958,  was
34    transferred by Act of the  70th  General  Assembly  from  his

 1    position  in  a  department of welfare of any city located in
 2    the county in which this Article is in force and effect to  a
 3    similar  position  in  a  department  of such county, service
 4    shall also be credited for ordinary  disability  benefit  and
 5    child's  annuity  for  such  period  of department of welfare
 6    service during  which  period  he  was  a  contributor  to  a
 7    statutory annuity and benefit fund in such city and for which
 8    purposes  service  credit  would otherwise not be credited by
 9    virtue of such involuntary transfer.
10        (5)  An employee described in subsection (e)  of  Section
11    9-108  shall  receive credit for child's annuity and ordinary
12    disability benefit for the period of time for  which  he  was
13    credited   with  service  in  the  fund  from  which  he  was
14    involuntarily separated  through  class  or  group  transfer;
15    provided,  that no such credit shall be allowed to the extent
16    that it results in a duplication of credits or benefits,  and
17    neither  shall  such  credit be allowed to the extent that it
18    was or may be forfeited by the application for and acceptance
19    of a refund  from  the  fund  from  which  the  employee  was
20    transferred.
21        (6)  Overtime  or  extra service shall not be included in
22    computing service.  Not more than 1 year of service shall  be

16             the  fund  at  the  time  such  lump sum payment was
17             received.  The service  granted  for  the  lump  sum
18             payment  shall  not  change  the  employee's date of
