|
| 1 | | AN ACT concerning public employees.
| 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 14-111 as follows:
| 6 | | (40 ILCS 5/14-111) (from Ch. 108 1/2, par. 14-111)
| 7 | | Sec. 14-111. Re-entry after After retirement.
| 8 | | (a) An annuitant who re-enters the service of a department | 9 | | and receives
compensation on a regular payroll shall receive no | 10 | | payments of the
retirement annuity during the time he is so | 11 | | employed, with the following
exceptions:
| 12 | | (1) An annuitant who is employed by a department while | 13 | | he or she is a
continuing participant in the General | 14 | | Assembly Retirement System under
Sections 2-117.1 and | 15 | | 14-105.4 will not be considered to have made a
re-entry | 16 | | after retirement within the meaning of this Section for the
| 17 | | duration of such continuing participation. Any person who | 18 | | is a continuing
participant under Sections 2-117.1 and | 19 | | 14-105.4 on the effective date of
this amendatory Act of | 20 | | 1991 and whose retirement annuity has been suspended
under | 21 | | this Section shall be entitled to receive from the System a | 22 | | sum equal
to the annuity payments that have been withheld | 23 | | under this Section, and
shall receive the benefit of this |
| | | SB3168 Engrossed | - 2 - | LRB097 19119 EFG 64360 b |
|
| 1 | | amendment without regard to Section
1-103.1.
| 2 | | (2) An annuitant who accepts temporary employment from | 3 | | such a
department (i) for a period not exceeding 75 working | 4 | | days in any calendar year
or (ii) for total compensation of | 5 | | less than $30,000 during a calendar year is not considered | 6 | | to make a re-entry after retirement within the meaning of
| 7 | | this Section. Any part of a day on temporary employment is | 8 | | considered a
full day of employment.
| 9 | | (b) If such person re-enters the service of a department, | 10 | | not as a
temporary employee, contributions to the system shall | 11 | | begin as of the
date of re-employment and additional creditable | 12 | | service shall begin to
accrue. He shall assume the status of a | 13 | | member entitled to all rights
and privileges in the system, | 14 | | including death and disability benefits,
excluding a refund of | 15 | | contributions.
| 16 | | Upon subsequent retirement, his retirement annuity shall | 17 | | consist of:
| 18 | | (1) the amounts of the annuities terminated by re-entry | 19 | | into
service; and
| 20 | | (2) the amount of the additional retirement annuity | 21 | | earned by the
member during the period of additional | 22 | | membership service which shall
not be subject to | 23 | | reversionary annuity if any.
| 24 | | The total retirement annuity shall not, however, exceed the | 25 | | maximum
applicable to the member at the time of original | 26 | | retirement.
In the computation of any such retirement annuity, |
| | | SB3168 Engrossed | - 3 - | LRB097 19119 EFG 64360 b |
|
| 1 | | the time that the
member was on retirement shall not interrupt | 2 | | the continuity of service
for the computation of final average | 3 | | compensation and the additional
membership service shall be | 4 | | considered, together with service rendered
before the previous | 5 | | retirement, in establishing final average
compensation.
| 6 | | A person who re-enters the service of a department within 3 | 7 | | years
after retiring may qualify to have the retirement annuity | 8 | | computed as
though the member had not previously retired by | 9 | | paying to
the System, within 5 years after re-entry and prior | 10 | | to subsequent
retirement, in a lump sum or in installment | 11 | | payments in accordance with
such rules as may be adopted by the | 12 | | Board, an amount equal to all
retirement payments received, | 13 | | including any payments received in accordance
with subsection | 14 | | (c) or (d) of Section 14-130, plus regular interest from
the | 15 | | date retirement payments were suspended to the date of | 16 | | repayment.

| 18 | | Section 10. The School Code is amended by changing Section | 19 | | 24-1 as follows:
| 20 | | (105 ILCS 5/24-1) (from Ch. 122, par. 24-1)
| 21 | | Sec. 24-1.
Appointment - Salaries - Payment - School month - | 22 | | School term.)

|
| 1 | | They shall pay
the wages of teachers monthly, subject, however, | 2 | | to the provisions of
Section 24-21. The school month shall be | 3 | | the same as the calendar month
but by resolution the school | 4 | | board may adopt for its use a month of 20
days, including | 5 | | holidays. The school term shall consist of at least the
minimum | 6 | | number of pupil attendance days required by Section 10-19, any
| 7 | | additional legal school holidays, days of teachers' | 8 | | institutes, or
equivalent professional educational | 9 | | experiences, and one or two days at
the beginning of the school | 10 | | term when used as a teachers' workshop. | 11 | | A school board is prohibited from hiring multiple people | 12 | | who are retired and are receiving a retirement annuity under | 13 | | the Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois in | 14 | | order to fill, as a group, a teaching position that would | 15 | | ordinarily be occupied by a single, full-time teacher. However, | 16 | | this prohibition does not apply to schools operated by the | 17 | | Illinois Department of Human Services, or if the school board | 18 | | determines that there is a subject or administrative position | 19 | | shortage that would require action, in which case the school | 20 | | board must apply for an exemption under Section 16-150.1 of the | 21 | | Illinois Pension Code.
