HB3756 Enrolled                                LRB9110461EGfg

    AN ACT in relation to 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 17-142.1 as follows:

    (40 ILCS 5/17-142.1) (from Ch. 108 1/2, par. 17-142.1)
    Sec. 17-142.1.  To defray  health  insurance  costs.   To
provide  for  the  partial  reimbursement of health insurance
costs.
    (1)  On  the  first  day  of  September  of  each   year,
beginning in 1988, the Board may, by separate warrant, pay to
each recipient of a service retirement, disability retirement
or  survivor's  pension  an  amount  to  be determined by the
Board, which shall represent partial  reimbursement  for  the
cost of the recipient's health insurance coverage.
    (2)  In   lieu   of  the  annual  payment  authorized  in
subdivision  (1),  for  pensioners  enrolled  in  the  Fund's
regular health care deduction plans, the  Fund  may  pay  the
health  insurance  premium  reimbursement on a monthly rather
than annual basis, at the percentage  rate  established  from
time  to  time  by the Board.  If the Board so directs, these
monthly payments may be made in the form of a direct  payment
of  premium  and  a reduction in the amount deducted from the
annuity, rather than in the form of reimbursement by separate
warrant.
    (3)  Total payments under this Section in  any  year  may
not  exceed  $40,000,000 $25,000,000 plus any amount that was
authorized to be paid under this  Section  in  the  preceding
year but was not actually paid by the Board.

    Section  90.  The State Mandates Act is amended by adding
Section 8.24 as follows:

    (30 ILCS 805/8.24 new)
    Sec. 8.24. Exempt mandate.   Notwithstanding  Sections  6
and  8 of this Act, no reimbursement by the State is required
for  the  implementation  of  any  mandate  created  by  this
amendatory Act of the 91st General Assembly.

    Section 99. Effective date.  This Act takes  effect  upon
becoming law.
