1 | 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 5-152 as follows:
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6 | (40 ILCS 5/5-152) (from Ch. 108 1/2, par. 5-152)
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7 | Sec. 5-152. Child's annuity - Conditions - Amount. A | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8 | child's
annuity shall be payable in the following cases of | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9 | policemen who die
on or after the effective date: (a) A | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10 | policeman whose death results
from injury incurred in the | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11 | performance of an act or acts of duty;
(b) a policeman who dies | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12 | in service from any cause; (c) a policeman
who withdraws upon | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13 | or after attainment of age 50 and who enters upon
or is | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14 | eligible for annuity; (d) a present employee with at least 20
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15 | years of service who dies after withdrawal, whether or not he | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16 | has
entered upon annuity.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
17 | A child to be eligible must have been born or legally | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
18 | adopted
before the policeman has withdrawn from service. In the | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
19 | case of an adopted
child, the policeman shall be married and | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
20 | living with his wife at the
time of the adoption, and the | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
21 | proceedings for adoption must have been
initiated at least 6 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
22 | months prior to the policeman's death. The requirement
that the | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
23 | proceedings for adoption be initiated at least 6 months prior |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | to
the policeman's death does not apply where death occurs as a | ||||||
2 | result of
an act of duty.
| ||||||
3 | Only one annuity shall be granted and paid for the benefit | ||||||
4 | of
any child if both parents have been policemen.
| ||||||
5 | The annuity shall be paid, without regard to the fact that
| ||||||
6 | the death of the deceased policeman parent may have occurred | ||||||
7 | prior to
the effective date of this amendatory Act of 1975, in
| ||||||
8 | an amount equal to 10% of the
annual maximum salary attached to | ||||||
9 | the classified civil
service position of a first class | ||||||
10 | patrolman
on July 1, 1975, or the date of the policeman's | ||||||
11 | death, whichever is later,
for each child while a widow or | ||||||
12 | widower of the
deceased policeman survives and in
an amount | ||||||
13 | equal to 15% of the annual maximum
salary attached to the | ||||||
14 | classified civil service position of a first
class patrolman on | ||||||
15 | July 1, 1975, or the date of the policeman's death, whichever
| ||||||
16 | is later, while no widow
or widower shall survive,
provided | ||||||
17 | that if the combined annuities for the widow
and children of a | ||||||
18 | policeman who dies on or after September 26, 1969,
as the | ||||||
19 | result of an act of duty, or for the children of such
policeman | ||||||
20 | in any case wherein a widow or widower does not exist,
exceed | ||||||
21 | the salary that would ordinarily have been paid to him if
he | ||||||
22 | had been in the active discharge of his duties, all such | ||||||
23 | annuities shall be
reduced pro rata so that the combined | ||||||
24 | annuities for the family shall
not exceed such limitation. The | ||||||
25 | compensation portion of the annuity
of the widow shall not be | ||||||
26 | considered in making such reduction.
No age limitation in this |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Section or Section 5-151 shall apply to a child who is so | ||||||
2 | physically or mentally handicapped as to be unable to support | ||||||
3 | himself or herself. Benefits payable under this Section shall | ||||||
4 | not be reduced or
terminated by reason of any child's | ||||||
5 | attainment of age 18 if he is then
dependent by reason of a | ||||||
6 | physical or mental disability but shall continue
to be paid as | ||||||
7 | long as such dependency continues. For the purposes of this
| ||||||
8 | subsection, "disability" means inability to engage in any | ||||||
9 | substantial
gainful activity by reason of any medically | ||||||
10 | determinable physical or
mental impairment which can be | ||||||
11 | expected to result in death or which has
lasted or can be | ||||||
12 | expected to last for a continuous period of not less
than 12 | ||||||
13 | months.
| ||||||
14 | In the case of a family of a policeman who dies on or after
| ||||||
15 | September 26, 1969, as the result of any cause other than the | ||||||
16 | performance
of an act of duty, in which annuities for such | ||||||
17 | family exceed an amount
equal to 60% of the salary that would | ||||||
18 | ordinarily have been paid to
him if he had been in the active | ||||||
19 | discharge of his duties, all such
annuities shall be reduced | ||||||
20 | pro rata so that the combined annuities shall
not exceed such | ||||||
21 | limitation.
| ||||||
22 | Child's annuity shall be paid to the parent providing for
| ||||||
23 | the child, unless another person is appointed by a court of law | ||||||
24 | as
the child's guardian.

1 | Section 90. The State Mandates Act is amended by adding | ||||||
2 | Section 8.31 as follows: | ||||||
3 | (30 ILCS 805/8.31 new) | ||||||
4 | Sec. 8.31. Exempt mandate. Notwithstanding Sections 6 and 8 | ||||||
5 | of this Act, no reimbursement by the State is required for the | ||||||
6 | implementation of any mandate created by this amendatory Act of | ||||||
7 | the 95th General Assembly.
| ||||||
8 | Section 99. Effective date. This Act takes effect upon | ||||||
