 7        (40 ILCS 5/15-136.3)
 8        Sec. 15-136.3. Minimum retirement annuity.
 9        (a)  Beginning   January  1,  1997,  any  person  who  is
10    receiving a monthly retirement  annuity  under  this  Article
11    which,  after  inclusion  of  (1)  all one-time and automatic
12    annual increases to which the person  is  entitled,  (2)  any
13    supplemental  annuity payable under Section 15-136.1, and (3)
14    any amount deducted under Section 15-138 or 15-140 to provide
15    a reversionary annuity, is  less  than  the  minimum  monthly
16    retirement benefit amount specified in subsection (b) of this
17    Section,  shall be entitled to a monthly supplemental payment
18    equal to the difference.
19        (b)  For purposes of the calculation in  subsection  (a),
20    the  minimum  monthly retirement benefit amount is the sum of
21    $25 for each year of service credit, up to a  maximum  of  30
22    years  of  service.   This  $25  shall  be increased by 3% on
23    January 1, 1998, and by 3% of the  current  amount  on  every
24    January 1 thereafter.
25        (c)  The  change  to this Section made by this amendatory
26    Act of 1997 applies to all  persons  receiving  a  retirement
27    annuity  under this Article, without regard to whether or not
28    employment terminated prior to the  effective  date  of  this
29    amendatory Act Section.
