| AN ACT concerning public employee benefits.
|
| 2 |
| Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
|
| 3 |
| represented in the General Assembly:
|
| 4 |
| Section 5. The Illinois Pension Code is amended by changing |
| 5 |
| Section 7-219 as follows:
|
| 6 |
| (40 ILCS 5/7-219) (from Ch. 108 1/2, par. 7-219)
|
| 7 |
| Sec. 7-219. Felony conviction.
|
| 8 |
| None of the benefits provided for in this Article shall be |
| 9 |
| paid to any
person who is convicted of any felony relating to |
| 10 |
| or arising out of or in
connection with his service as an |
| 11 |
| employee. If the person convicted of such a felony is an |
| 12 |
| employee of more than one employer that participates in the |
| 13 |
| Fund, then the person may not receive benefits based on any of |
| 14 |
| his or her service as an employee for all employers that |
| 15 |
| participate in the Fund.
|
| 16 |
| This Section shall not operate to impair any contract or |
| 17 |
| vested right
heretofore acquired under any law or laws |
| 18 |
| continued in this Article, nor to
preclude the right to a |
| 19 |
| refund; except that, notwithstanding Section 7-217 and the |
| 20 |
| other provisions of this Code, if, as a result of the felony, |
| 21 |
| the person is ordered by the court to pay restitution to the |
| 22 |
| employer, then (i) the employer may apply for a refund of |
| 23 |
| employee contributions on the employee's behalf and (ii) |
| 24 |
| pursuant to appropriate documentation from the employer and the |
| 25 |
| court, the Fund shall pay to the employer all or a portion of |
| 26 |
| the refund in a sum sufficient to satisfy the court-ordered |
| 27 |
| restitution.
|
| 28 |
| All future entrants entering service subsequent to July 9, |
| 29 |
| 1955 shall be
deemed to have consented to the provisions of |
| 30 |
| this Section as a condition
of coverage.
