23Obligation Bond Act, minus (ii) the portion of the State's
24total debt service payments for that fiscal year on the bonds
25issued in fiscal year 2003 for the purposes of that Section
267.2, as determined and certified by the Comptroller, that is

 

 

SB2367- 12 -LRB098 09498 EFG 39641 b

1the same as the System's portion of the total moneys
2distributed under subsection (d) of Section 7.2 of the General
3Obligation Bond Act. In determining this maximum for State
4fiscal years 2008 through 2010, however, the amount referred to
5in item (i) shall be increased, as a percentage of the
6applicable employee payroll, in equal increments calculated
7from the sum of the required State contribution for State
8fiscal year 2007 plus the applicable portion of the State's
9total debt service payments for fiscal year 2007 on the bonds
10issued in fiscal year 2003 for the purposes of Section 7.2 of
11the General Obligation Bond Act, so that, by State fiscal year
122011, the State is contributing at the rate otherwise required
13under this Section.
14    (b-4) Beginning in State fiscal year 2014, the minimum
15required contribution of employers under this Article shall be
16the following percentages of payroll, but only if, for the

22    payroll for that fiscal year;
23        (ii) for State fiscal year 2015, 1.0% of the employer's
24    payroll for that fiscal year; and
25        (iii) for State fiscal year 2016, 2.0% of the
26    employer's payroll for that fiscal year;

 

 

SB2367- 13 -LRB098 09498 EFG 39641 b

1        (iv) for State fiscal year 2017, 3.0% of the employer's
2    payroll for that fiscal year;
3        (v) for State fiscal year 2018, 4.0% of the employer's
4    payroll for that fiscal year;
5        (vi) for State fiscal year 2019, 5.0% of the employer's

10    employer's payroll for that fiscal year;
11        (ix) for State fiscal year 2022, 8.0% of the employer's
12    payroll for that fiscal year; and
13        (x) for State fiscal year 2023 and each State fiscal
14    year thereafter, 9.0% of the employer's payroll for that
15    fiscal year.
16    If the State does not provide, for a State fiscal year,
17full funding at the State fiscal year 2010 level for the
18mandates set forth in the School Breakfast and Lunch Program
19Act and Article 14 and Sections 18-3, 18-4.3, and 29-5 of the
20School Code, then the employers shall not be required to make a
21contribution under this subsection (b-4) for that State fiscal
22year.
23    Notwithstanding any other provision of this subsection
24(b-4), the minimum required contribution under this Section for
25a fiscal year shall not exceed the System's normal costs for
26that year.

 

 

SB2367- 14 -LRB098 09498 EFG 39641 b

1    Whenever it determines that a payment is or may be required
2under this subsection (b-4), the System shall calculate the
3amount of the payment and bill the employer for that amount.
4The bill shall specify the calculations used to determine the
5amount due. If the employer disputes the amount of the bill, it
6may, within 30 days after receipt of the bill, apply to the
7System in writing for a recalculation. The application must
8specify in detail the grounds of the dispute. Upon receiving a
9timely application for recalculation, the System shall review
10the application and, if appropriate, recalculate the amount
11due.
12    The employer contributions required under this subsection
13(b-4) may be paid in the form of a lump sum within 90 days after
14receipt of the bill. If the employer contributions are not paid
15within 90 days after receipt of the bill, then interest will be
16charged at a rate equal to the System's annual actuarially
17assumed rate of return on investment compounded annually from
18the 91st day after receipt of the bill. Payments must be
19concluded within 3 years after the employer's receipt of the
20bill.
21    The purpose of this subsection (b-4), as well as the
22school-mandate-related provisions of this amendatory Act of
23the 98th General Assembly, is to shift certain pension-related
24costs to employers while lessening the effects of unfunded
25State mandates in order to ensure the financial stability of
26affected employers.

 

 

SB2367- 15 -LRB098 09498 EFG 39641 b

1    (c) Payment of the required State contributions and of all
2pensions, retirement annuities, death benefits, refunds, and
3other benefits granted under or assumed by this System, and all
4expenses in connection with the administration and operation
5thereof, are obligations of the State.
6    If members are paid from special trust or federal funds
7which are administered by the employing unit, whether school
8district or other unit, the employing unit shall pay to the
9System from such funds the full accruing retirement costs based
10upon that service, as determined by the System. Employer
11contributions, based on salary paid to members from federal
12funds, may be forwarded by the distributing agency of the State
13of Illinois to the System prior to allocation, in an amount
14determined in accordance with guidelines established by such
15agency and the System.
16    (d) Effective July 1, 1986, any employer of a teacher as
17defined in paragraph (8) of Section 16-106 shall pay the
18employer's normal cost of benefits based upon the teacher's
19service, in addition to employee contributions, as determined
20by the System. Such employer contributions shall be forwarded
21monthly in accordance with guidelines established by the
22System.
23    However, with respect to benefits granted under Section
2416-133.4 or 16-133.5 to a teacher as defined in paragraph (8)
25of Section 16-106, the employer's contribution shall be 12%
26(rather than 20%) of the member's highest annual salary rate

 

 

SB2367- 16 -LRB098 09498 EFG 39641 b

1for each year of creditable service granted, and the employer
2shall also pay the required employee contribution on behalf of
3the teacher. For the purposes of Sections 16-133.4 and
416-133.5, a teacher as defined in paragraph (8) of Section
516-106 who is serving in that capacity while on leave of
6absence from another employer under this Article shall not be
7considered an employee of the employer from which the teacher
8is on leave.
9    (e) Beginning July 1, 1998, every employer of a teacher
10shall pay to the System an employer contribution computed as
11follows:
12        (1) Beginning July 1, 1998 through June 30, 1999, the
13    employer contribution shall be equal to 0.3% of each
14    teacher's salary.
15        (2) Beginning July 1, 1999 and thereafter, the employer
16    contribution shall be equal to 0.58% of each teacher's
17    salary.
18The school district or other employing unit may pay these
19employer contributions out of any source of funding available
20for that purpose and shall forward the contributions to the
21System on the schedule established for the payment of member
22contributions.
23    These employer contributions are intended to offset a
24portion of the cost to the System of the increases in
25retirement benefits resulting from this amendatory Act of 1998.
26    Each employer of teachers is entitled to a credit against

 

 

SB2367- 17 -LRB098 09498 EFG 39641 b

1the contributions required under this subsection (e) with
2respect to salaries paid to teachers for the period January 1,
32002 through June 30, 2003, equal to the amount paid by that
4employer under subsection (a-5) of Section 6.6 of the State
5Employees Group Insurance Act of 1971 with respect to salaries
6paid to teachers for that period.
7    The additional 1% employee contribution required under
8Section 16-152 by this amendatory Act of 1998 is the
9responsibility of the teacher and not the teacher's employer,
10unless the employer agrees, through collective bargaining or
11otherwise, to make the contribution on behalf of the teacher.
12    If an employer is required by a contract in effect on May
131, 1998 between the employer and an employee organization to
14pay, on behalf of all its full-time employees covered by this
15Article, all mandatory employee contributions required under
16this Article, then the employer shall be excused from paying
17the employer contribution required under this subsection (e)
18for the balance of the term of that contract. The employer and
19the employee organization shall jointly certify to the System
20the existence of the contractual requirement, in such form as
21the System may prescribe. This exclusion shall cease upon the
22termination, extension, or renewal of the contract at any time
23after May 1, 1998.
24    (f) If the amount of a teacher's salary for any school year
25used to determine final average salary exceeds the member's
26annual full-time salary rate with the same employer for the

 

 

SB2367- 18 -LRB098 09498 EFG 39641 b

1previous school year by more than 6%, the teacher's employer
2shall pay to the System, in addition to all other payments
3required under this Section and in accordance with guidelines
4established by the System, the present value of the increase in
5benefits resulting from the portion of the increase in salary
6that is in excess of 6%. This present value shall be computed
7by the System on the basis of the actuarial assumptions and
8tables used in the most recent actuarial valuation of the
9System that is available at the time of the computation. If a
10teacher's salary for the 2005-2006 school year is used to
11determine final average salary under this subsection (f), then
12the changes made to this subsection (f) by Public Act 94-1057
13shall apply in calculating whether the increase in his or her
14salary is in excess of 6%. For the purposes of this Section,
15change in employment under Section 10-21.12 of the School Code
16on or after June 1, 2005 shall constitute a change in employer.
17The System may require the employer to provide any pertinent
18information or documentation. The changes made to this
19subsection (f) by this amendatory Act of the 94th General
20Assembly apply without regard to whether the teacher was in
21service on or after its effective date.
22    Whenever it determines that a payment is or may be required
23under this subsection, the System shall calculate the amount of
24the payment and bill the employer for that amount. The bill
25shall specify the calculations used to determine the amount
26due. If the employer disputes the amount of the bill, it may,

 

 

SB2367- 19 -LRB098 09498 EFG 39641 b

1within 30 days after receipt of the bill, apply to the System
2in writing for a recalculation. The application must specify in
3detail the grounds of the dispute and, if the employer asserts
4that the calculation is subject to subsection (g) or (h) of
5this Section, must include an affidavit setting forth and
6attesting to all facts within the employer's knowledge that are
7pertinent to the applicability of that subsection. Upon
8receiving a timely application for recalculation, the System
9shall review the application and, if appropriate, recalculate
10the amount due.
11    The employer contributions required under this subsection
12(f) may be paid in the form of a lump sum within 90 days after
13receipt of the bill. If the employer contributions are not paid
14within 90 days after receipt of the bill, then interest will be
15charged at a rate equal to the System's annual actuarially
16assumed rate of return on investment compounded annually from
17the 91st day after receipt of the bill. Payments must be
18concluded within 3 years after the employer's receipt of the
19bill.
20    (g) This subsection (g) applies only to payments made or
21salary increases given on or after June 1, 2005 but before July
221, 2011. The changes made by Public Act 94-1057 shall not
23require the System to refund any payments received before July
2431, 2006 (the effective date of Public Act 94-1057).
25    When assessing payment for any amount due under subsection
26(f), the System shall exclude salary increases paid to teachers

1under contracts or collective bargaining agreements entered
2into, amended, or renewed before June 1, 2005.
3    When assessing payment for any amount due under subsection
4(f), the System shall exclude salary increases paid to a
5teacher at a time when the teacher is 10 or more years from
6retirement eligibility under Section 16-132 or 16-133.2.
7    When assessing payment for any amount due under subsection
8(f), the System shall exclude salary increases resulting from
9overload work, including summer school, when the school
10district has certified to the System, and the System has
11approved the certification, that (i) the overload work is for
12the sole purpose of classroom instruction in excess of the
13standard number of classes for a full-time teacher in a school
14district during a school year and (ii) the salary increases are
15equal to or less than the rate of pay for classroom instruction
16computed on the teacher's current salary and work schedule.
17    When assessing payment for any amount due under subsection
18(f), the System shall exclude a salary increase resulting from
19a promotion (i) for which the employee is required to hold a
20certificate or supervisory endorsement issued by the State
21Teacher Certification Board that is a different certification
22or supervisory endorsement than is required for the teacher's
23previous position and (ii) to a position that has existed and
24been filled by a member for no less than one complete academic
25year and the salary increase from the promotion is an increase
26that results in an amount no greater than the lesser of the

 

 

SB2367- 21 -LRB098 09498 EFG 39641 b

1average salary paid for other similar positions in the district
2requiring the same certification or the amount stipulated in
3the collective bargaining agreement for a similar position
4requiring the same certification.
5    When assessing payment for any amount due under subsection
6(f), the System shall exclude any payment to the teacher from
7the State of Illinois or the State Board of Education over
8which the employer does not have discretion, notwithstanding
9that the payment is included in the computation of final
10average salary.
11    (h) When assessing payment for any amount due under
12subsection (f), the System shall exclude any salary increase
13described in subsection (g) of this Section given on or after
14July 1, 2011 but before July 1, 2014 under a contract or
15collective bargaining agreement entered into, amended, or
16renewed on or after June 1, 2005 but before July 1, 2011.
17Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, any
18payments made or salary increases given after June 30, 2014
19shall be used in assessing payment for any amount due under
20subsection (f) of this Section.
21    (i) The System shall prepare a report and file copies of
22the report with the Governor and the General Assembly by
23January 1, 2007 that contains all of the following information:
24        (1) The number of recalculations required by the
25    changes made to this Section by Public Act 94-1057 for each

9    Act 94-1057.
10    (j) For purposes of determining the required State
11contribution to the System, the value of the System's assets
12shall be equal to the actuarial value of the System's assets,
13which shall be calculated as follows:
14    As of June 30, 2008, the actuarial value of the System's
15assets shall be equal to the market value of the assets as of
16that date. In determining the actuarial value of the System's
17assets for fiscal years after June 30, 2008, any actuarial
18gains or losses from investment return incurred in a fiscal
19year shall be recognized in equal annual amounts over the
205-year period following that fiscal year.
21    (k) For purposes of determining the required State
22contribution to the system for a particular year, the actuarial
23value of assets shall be assumed to earn a rate of return equal
24to the system's actuarially assumed rate of return.

4due to insufficient funding from the State, then the school
5district shall maintain a list of discontinued or modified
6mandated activities. The list shall be provided to the State
7Board of Education upon request.
8    Before discontinuing or modifying the mandate, the school
9district shall petition its regional superintendent of schools
10on or before February 15 of each year to request to be exempt
11from implementing the mandate in a school or schools in the
12next school year. The petition shall include all legitimate
13costs associated with implementing and operating the mandate,
14the estimated reimbursement from State and federal sources, and
15any unique circumstances the school district can verify that
16exist that would cause the implementation and operation of such
17a mandate to be cost prohibitive.
18    The regional superintendent of schools shall review the
19petition. In accordance with the Open Meetings Act, he or she
20shall convene a public hearing to hear testimony from the

4requirement to establish and implement the mandate in the
5school or schools granted an exemption for the next school
6year. If the regional superintendent of schools does not grant
7an exemption, then the school district shall implement the
8mandate in accordance with the applicable law or rule by the
9first student attendance day of the next school year. However,
10the school district or a resident of the school district may on
11or before April 15 appeal the decision of the regional
12superintendent to the State Superintendent of Education. The
13State Superintendent shall hear appeals on the decisions of
14regional superintendents of schools no later than May 15 of
15each year. The State Superintendent shall make a final decision
16at the conclusion of the hearing on the school district's
17request for an exemption from the mandate. If the State
18Superintendent grants an exemption, then the school district is
19relieved from the requirement to implement a mandate in the
20school or schools granted an exemption for the next school
21year. If the State Superintendent does not grant an exemption,
22then the school district shall implement the mandate in
23accordance with the applicable law or rule by the first student
24attendance day of the next school year.
