AN ACT concerning public employee benefits.
|
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 changing |
Section 5-214 as follows:
|
(40 ILCS 5/5-214) (from Ch. 108 1/2, par. 5-214)
|
Sec. 5-214. Credit for other service. Any participant in |
this fund (other
than a member of the fire department of the |
city) who has rendered service
as a member of the police |
department of the city for a period of 3 years
or more is |
entitled to credit for the various purposes of this Article for
|
service rendered prior to becoming a member or subsequent |
thereto for the
following periods:
|
(a) While on leave of absence from the police |
department assigned or
detailed to investigative, |
protective, security or police work for the park
district |
of the city, the department of the Port of Chicago or the |
sanitary
district in which the city is located.
|
(b) As a temporary police officer in the city or while |
serving in the
office of the mayor or in the office of the |
corporation counsel, as a
member of the city council of the |
city, as an employee of the Policemen's
Annuity and Benefit |
Fund created by this Article, as the head
of an |
|
organization whose membership consists of members of the |
police
department, the Public Vehicle License Commission |
and the board of election
commissioners of the city, |
provided that, in each of these cases and for all periods |
specified in this item (b), including those beginning |
before the effective date of this amendatory Act of the |
97th General Assembly, the police officer is on leave and |
continues to remain in sworn status, subject to the |
professional standards of the public employer or those |
terms established in statute.
|
(c) While performing safety or investigative work for |
the county in which
such city is principally located or for |
the State of Illinois or for the
federal government, on |
leave of absence from the department of police, or
while |
performing investigative work for the department as a |
civilian
employee of the department. Notwithstanding any |
other provision of law, the board shall reconsider an |
application for credit for service under this item (c) that |
was submitted after January 1, 1992 and before April 1, |
2008 and was denied.
|
(d) While on leave of absence from the police |
department of the city
and serving as the chief of police |
of a police department outside the city.
|
No credit shall be granted in this fund, however, for this |
service if the
policeman has credit therefor in any other |
annuity and benefit fund, or
unless he contributes to this fund |
|
the amount he would have contributed
with interest had he |
remained an active member of the police department
in the |
position he occupied as a result of a civil service competitive
|
examination, certification and appointment by the Civil |
Service Board; or
in the case of a city operating under the |
provisions of a personnel ordinance
the position he occupied as |
a result of a personnel ordinance competitive
examination |
certification and appointment under the authority of a |
Municipal
Personnel ordinance.
|
Concurrently with such contributions, the city shall |
contribute the amounts
provided by this Article. No credit |
shall be allowed for any period of
time for which contributions |
by the policeman have not been paid. The period
of service |
rendered by such policeman prior to the date he became a member
|
of the police department of the city or while detailed, |
assigned or on leave
of absence and employed in any of the |
departments set forth hereinabove
in this Section for which |
such policeman has contributed to this fund shall
be credited |
to him as service for all the purposes of this Article, except
|
that he shall not have any of the rights conferred by the |
provisions of
Sections 5-127 and 5-162 of this Article.
|
The changes in this Section made by Public Act 86-273 shall |
apply to members
of the fund who have not begun receiving a |
pension under this Article on August
23, 1989, without regard |
to whether employment is terminated before that date.
