 1        AN ACT to amend the State Finance Act by changing Section
 2    14a.
 3        Be  it  enacted  by  the People of the State of Illinois,
 4    represented in the General Assembly:
 5        Section 5.  The State Finance Act is amended by  changing
 6    Section 14a as follows:
 7        (30 ILCS 105/14a) (from Ch. 127, par. 150a)
 8        Sec.  14a.  Upon the death of a State employee his estate
 9    is entitled to receive from the  appropriation  for  personal
10    services  available  for payment of his compensation such sum
11    for any accrued vacation period, accrued overtime and accrued
12    sick leave as  would  have  been  paid  or  allowed  to  such
13    employee had he survived.
14        The  State Comptroller shall draw his warrant or warrants
15    against the appropriation, upon receipt  of  a  proper  death
16    certificate, payable to decedent's estate, or if no estate is
17    opened,  to  the  person  or  persons  entitled thereto under
18    Section 25-1 of the Probate Act of 1975 upon receipt  of  the
19    affidavit referred to in that Section, for the sum due.
20        The  Department  of  Central  Management  Services  shall
21    prescribe  by  rule  the  method  of  computing  the  accrued
22    vacation  period  and  accrued  overtime  for  all employees,
23    including those not otherwise subject  to  its  jurisdiction,
24    and  for  the  purposes of this Act the Department of Central
25    Management Services may require  such  reports  as  it  deems
26    necessary.    Accrued   sick   leave  shall  be  computed  by
27    multiplying 1/2 of the number of  days  of  accumulated  sick
28    leave  by  the  daily  rate of compensation applicable to the
29    employee at the time of his death, retirement, resignation or
30    other termination of service described in this Section.
31        Upon the retirement or resignation of  a  State  employee
HB1512 Engrossed            -2-                LRB9004708KDks
 1    from  State  service, his accrued vacation, overtime and sick
 2    leave shall be payable to the employee in a single  lump  sum
 3    payment.   However,  if the employee returns to employment in
 4    any capacity with the same agency  or  department  within  30
 5    days of the termination of his previous State employment, the
 6    employee  must,  as  a condition of his new State employment,
 7    repay the lump sum amount within 30 days after his new  State
 8    employment  commences.   The amount repaid shall be deposited
 9    into the fund from which the payment was made or the  General
10    Revenue  Fund,  and  the  accrued vacation, overtime and sick
11    leave upon which the lump sum  payment  was  based  shall  be
12    credited  to  the  account of the employee in accordance with
13    the rules of the jurisdiction under which he is employed.
14        Upon the movement of a State  employee  from  a  position
15    subject  to  the Personnel Code to another State position not
16    subject to the Personnel Code, or to a  position  subject  to
17    the  Personnel  Code from a State position not subject to the
18    Personnel Code, or upon the movement of a State  employee  of
19    an  institution  or  agency subject to the State Universities
20    Civil Service System from one such institution or  agency  to
21    another  such  institution  or  agency, his accrued vacation,
22    overtime and sick leave shall be credited to  the  employee's
23    account  in  accordance with the rules of the jurisdiction to
24    which  the  State  employee  moved.  However,  if  the  rules
25    preclude  crediting  the  State  employee's   total   accrued
26    vacation,  overtime  or  sick  leave  to  his  account at the
27    jurisdiction to which he is  to  move,  the  nontransferrable
28    accrued  vacation, overtime or sick leave shall be payable to
29    the employee in a single lump sum payment by the jurisdiction
30    from which he moved.
31        Upon the death of a State  employee  or  the  retirement,
32    indeterminate  layoff or resignation of a State employee from
33    State  service,  the  employee's  retirement  or   disability
34    benefits shall be computed as if the employee had remained in
HB1512 Engrossed            -3-                LRB9004708KDks
 1    the  State employment at his most recent rate of compensation
 2    until his accumulated unused leave  for  vacation,  overtime,
 3    sickness and personal business would have been exhausted. The
 4    employing  agency  shall certify, in writing to the employee,
 5    the  unused  leaves   the   employee   has   accrued.    This
 6    certification may be held by the employee or forwarded to the
 7    retirement  fund.    Employing  agencies  not  covered by the
 8    Personnel Code shall certify, in writing to the employee, the
 9    unused leaves the employee has accrued.
10        The payment for accrued sick leave after  the  employee's
11    death,  retirement,  resignation,  or  other  termination  of
12    service provided by Public Act 83-976 shall be for sick leave
13    days  earned  on  or after January 1, 1984. The Department of
14    Central Management  Services  shall  prescribe  by  rule  the
15    method  of  computing  the  accrued  sick  leave days for all
16    employees, including  those  not  otherwise  subject  to  its
17    jurisdiction.
18        No  officer or employee may receive payment or credit for
19    accrued vacation, overtime, personal  leave,  or  sick  leave
20    upon termination of State service if that person is convicted
21    of  a  felony  arising out of or relating to his or her State
22    employment.   This  paragraph  applies  only   to   vacation,
23    overtime,  personal leave, and sick leave accrued on or after
24    the effective date of this amendatory Act of 1997 or, in  the
25    case of a person covered by a collective bargaining agreement
26    in  effect  upon the effective date of this amendatory Act of
27    1997, after that collective bargaining agreement has  expired
28    or  been renewed.  A person convicted of a felony arising out
29    of or relating to his or her State  employment  who  receives
30    payment upon termination in violation of this paragraph shall
31    repay the State the amount improperly received.
