AMENDMENT TO HOUSE BILL 4886

AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend House Bill 4886, on page 1, immediately below line 3, by inserting the following:

"Section 3. The Illinois Pension Code is amended by changing Section 16-130 as follows:

(40 ILCS 5/16-130) (from Ch. 108 1/2, par. 16-130)

Sec. 16-130. Creditable service - whole or portion of year.

(a) Except as provided in paragraph (6) of subsection (b) of Section 16-127, only one year of service is creditable for all service in any one school year.

(b) For employment prior to July 1, 1990, service rendered for the regular legal school term, if creditable hereunder, is equivalent to one year of service, and time less than a legal school term shall be counted as a portion of a year in the ratio that the number of days paid bears to the number of days required at the time to constitute a legal school term; however, service of 170 or more days in any school year after June 30, 1959 shall constitute a year of service.

(c) Creditable service for periods of employment after June 30, 1990 shall be calculated as follows:

For full-time, part-time, and substitute teachers, creditable service in any school year shall be that fraction of a year equal to the ratio of days paid in the legal school term, or the employment agreement if longer, to 170 days.

(d) Creditable service for optional service verified after July 1, 1990 for periods of employment prior to July 1, 1990 shall be calculated as follows:

For full-time, part-time, and substitute teachers, creditable service in any school year shall be that fraction of a year that is equal to the ratio of days paid in the legal school term, or employment agreement if longer, to either the number of days required at the time of service to constitute a legal school term or the number of days in the employment agreement, whichever is greater. However, service of 170 or more days in any school year after June 30, 1959 shall constitute a year of service.

(e) For any teacher employed by a school district having adopted an alternative school calendar under Section 10-19.4 of the School Code and whose position requires an additional 75 minutes of service per day 4 days per week, service of 135 or more days in any school year during which the alternative school calendar is adopted shall constitute a year of service.
