Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

Sec. 14.1.

Appropriations for State contributions to the State
Employees' Retirement System; payroll requirements.

(a) Appropriations for State contributions to the State
Employees' Retirement System of Illinois shall be expended in the manner
provided in this Section.
Except as otherwise provided in subsection (a-4)
 at the time of each payment of salary to an
employee under the personal services line item, payment shall be made to
the State Employees' Retirement System, from the amount appropriated for
State contributions to the State Employees' Retirement System, of an amount
calculated at the rate certified for the applicable fiscal year by the
Board of Trustees of the State Employees' Retirement System under Section
14-135.08 of the Illinois Pension Code.  If a line item appropriation to an
employer for this purpose is exhausted or is unavailable due to any limitation on appropriations that may apply, (including, but not limited to, limitations on appropriations from the Road Fund under Section 8.3 of the State Finance Act), the amounts shall be
paid under the continuing appropriation for this purpose contained in the State
Pension Funds Continuing Appropriation Act.

(a-1) (Blank).

    (a-2) (Blank).
    (a-3) (Blank).

(a-4) In fiscal year 2012 and each fiscal year thereafter, at the time of each payment of salary to an employee under the personal services line item from a fund other than the General Revenue Fund, payment shall be made for deposit into the State Employees' Retirement System of Illinois from the amount appropriated for State contributions to the State Employees' Retirement System of Illinois of an amount calculated at the rate certified for the applicable fiscal year by the Board of Trustees of the State Employees' Retirement System of Illinois under Section 14-135.08 of the Illinois Pension Code. In fiscal year 2012 and each fiscal year thereafter, no payment from appropriations for State contributions shall be made in conjunction with payment of salary to an employee under the personal services line item from the General Revenue Fund.

(b) Except during the period beginning on March 5, 2004 (the effective date of Public Act 93-665) and ending at the time of the payment of the
final payroll from fiscal year 2004 appropriations, the State Comptroller
shall not approve for payment any payroll
voucher that (1) includes payments of salary to eligible employees in the
State Employees' Retirement System of Illinois and (2) does not include the
corresponding payment of State contributions to that retirement system at the
full rate certified under Section 14-135.08 for that fiscal year for eligible
employees, unless the balance in the fund on which the payroll voucher is drawn
is insufficient to pay the total payroll voucher, or unavailable due to any limitation on appropriations that may apply, including, but not limited to, limitations on appropriations from the Road Fund under Section 8.3 of the State Finance Act.  If the State Comptroller
approves a payroll voucher under this Section for which the fund balance is
insufficient to pay the full amount of the required State contribution to the
State Employees' Retirement System, the Comptroller shall promptly so notify
the Retirement System.

(b-1) (Blank).

(c) Notwithstanding any other provisions of law, beginning July 1, 2007, required State and employee contributions to the State Employees' Retirement System of Illinois relating to affected legislative staff employees shall be paid out of moneys appropriated for that purpose to the Commission on Government Forecasting and Accountability, rather than out of the lump-sum appropriations otherwise made for the payroll and other costs of those employees.

These payments must be made pursuant to payroll vouchers submitted by the employing entity as part of the regular payroll voucher process.

For the purpose of this subsection, "affected legislative staff employees" means legislative staff employees paid out of lump-sum appropriations made to the General Assembly, an Officer of the General Assembly, or the Senate Operations Commission, but does not include district-office staff or employees of legislative support services agencies.
