    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
 
represented in the General Assembly:
  
 
 
    Section 5. The Illinois Pension Code is amended  by adding 
Section 15-155.1 as follows:
 
    (40 ILCS 5/15-155.1 new)
    Sec. 15-155.1. Actions to enforce payments by employers.
    (a) Except as otherwise specified, if any employer fails to 
transmit to the System contributions required of it under this 
Article or contributions collected by it from its participating 
employees for the purposes of this Article for more than 120 
days after the payment of those contributions is due, the 
Board, after giving notice to that employer, may certify to the 
State Comptroller the amounts of such delinquent payments in 
accordance with any applicable rules of the Comptroller, and 
the Comptroller shall deduct the amounts so certified or any 
part thereof from any payments of State funds to the employer 
involved and shall remit the amount so deducted to the System. 
If State funds from which such deductions may be made are not 
available or if deductions are delayed for longer than 120 days 
after the date of the certification to the Comptroller, the 
Board may proceed against the employer to recover the amounts 
of such delinquent payments in the appropriate circuit court.
    (b) Except as otherwise specified, if any employer that is 
a community college district fails to transmit to the System 
contributions required of it under this Article or 
contributions collected by it from its participating employees 
for the purposes of this Article for more than 120 days after 
the payment of those contributions is due, the Board, after 
giving notice to that employer, may certify the fact of such 
delinquent payment to the county treasurer of the county in 
which that employer is located, who shall thereafter remit the 
amounts collected from any taxes levied by the employer 
directly to the System.  If the funds from which such 
remittances may be made are not available or if the remittances 
are delayed for longer than 120 days after the date of the 
certification to the county treasurer, the Board may proceed 
against the employer to recover the amounts of such delinquent 
payments in the appropriate circuit court.
    (c)  Nothing in this Section prohibits the Board from 
proceeding against an employer to recover the amounts of any 
delinquent payments in the appropriate circuit court.

becoming law.
