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. 2-117.
Participants - Election not to participate.
(a) Every person who was a member on November 1, 1947, or in military
service on such date, is subject to the provisions of this system beginning
upon such date, unless prior to such date he or she filed with the board a
written notice of election not to participate.
Every person who becomes a member after November 1, 1947, and who is
then not a participant becomes a participant beginning upon the date of
becoming a member unless, within 24 months from that date, he or she has
filed with the board a written notice of election not to participate.
(b) A member who has filed notice of an election not to participate
(and a former member who has not yet begun to receive a retirement
annuity under this Article) may become a participant with respect to the period
for which the member elected not to participate upon filing with the board,
before April 1, 1993, a written rescission of the election not to participate.
Upon contributing an amount equal to the contributions he or she would have
made as a participant from November 1, 1947, or the date of becoming a member,
whichever is later, to the date of becoming a participant, with interest at the
rate of 4% per annum until the contributions are paid, the participant shall
receive credit for service as a member prior to the date of the rescission,
both before and after November 1, 1947. The required contributions shall be
made before commencement of the retirement annuity; otherwise no credit for
service prior to the date of participation shall be granted.
