22In the case of a taxing district that obtained referendum
23approval for an increased limiting rate on March 20, 2012, the
24limiting rate for tax year 2012 shall be the rate that

2annuity.
3    (a) From each payment of salary to a present employee
4beginning August 4, 1961, and prior to September 1, 1971,
5there shall be deducted as contributions for service annuity
66% of such payment. Beginning September 1, 1971, the deduction

8deduction shall be 8% of salary. Beginning January 1, 2017,
9the deduction shall be 9% of salary. Beginning January 1,
102019, the deduction shall be 10% of salary. These
11contributions shall continue until the amounts thus deducted
12will provide an accumulation, at regular interest, at least
13equal to the amount that would be provided on such date from
14employee contributions, assuming regular interest to such
15date, if such employee had been contributing in accordance
16with the provisions of "The 1919 Act" and this Article from the
17beginning of his service and the salary of the employee during
18his prior service was the same as it was on July 1, 1919, or on
19July 1, 1937 in the case of an employee of the board.
20    (b) From each payment of salary to a future entrant

9thereafter for as long as the Fund maintains a funding ratio of
1090% or more, employee contributions shall be 8.5% of salary
11for the service annuity. If the funding ratio falls below 90%,
12then employee contributions for the service annuity shall

1salary of such employee if such employee had been under the
2provisions of "The 1919 Act" and this Article from the
3beginning of his service and the salary of such employee
4during his period of prior service was the same as it was on
5July 1, 1919 or on July 1, 1937 in the case of an employee of
6the board.
7    (d) Any employee shall have the option to contribute for
8service annuity an amount, together with regular interest,
9equal to the difference between the amount he had accumulated
10in the fund on June 30, 1947, from contributions at the rate of
114% of salary, together with regular interest, and the amount
12he would have accumulated, together with regular interest, if

1    (b) On March 1, 2018, the Circuit Court of Cook County
2entered a Memorandum and Order in David Biedron, et al. v. Park
3Employees' and Retirement Board Employees' Annuity and Benefit
4Fund, et al., case number 15 CH 14869. The Memorandum and
5Order, inter alia, held:
6        The legislative history of Public Act 098-0622 is
7    clear that its purpose was to establish a comprehensive
8    scheme to reform the Fund and enable it to achieve
9    long-term financial stability. (District's MSJ. Ex, B). It
10    is clear from the Act itself and the legislative history
11    that the provisions of the Act were intended to work
12    together to achieve this purpose. Section 12-195, the sole
13    remaining provision of the Act, cannot by itself
14    accomplish the General Assembly's purpose in enacting
15    Public Act 098-0622. The invalidation of every provision
16    of the Act except §12-195 severely undercuts the General
17    Assembly's purpose in enacting Public Act 098-0622 and,
18    therefore, §12-195 is also inseverable.
19        Based on Public Act 098-0622's severability provision
20    and Illinois case law, the unchallenged sections of Public
21    Act 098-0622 are not severable and the entire Act must be
22    declared void. Plaintiffs are entitled to a declaration
23    that Public Act 098-0622 is unconstitutional and
24    unenforceable in its entirety under the Pension Clause.
25    An Agreed Order was entered in that case on January 8, 2019
26to resolve certain matters.

1    (c) The purpose of the reenactment of Section 12-195 of
2the Illinois Pension Code in Section 20 of this Act is to
3remove any question as to the validity or content of Section
412-195 of the Illinois Pension Code. This Act is not intended
5to supersede any other Public Act that amends the text of
6Section 12-195 of the Illinois Pension Code.
 
7    Section 25. Section 12-195 of the Illinois Pension Code is
8reenacted as follows:
 
9    (40 ILCS 5/12-195)
10    Sec. 12-195. Application and expiration of new benefit
11increases.
12    (a) As used in this Section, "new benefit increase" means
13an increase in the amount of any benefit provided under this
14Article, or an expansion of the conditions of eligibility for
15any benefit under this Article, that results from an amendment
16to this Code that takes effect after the effective date of this
17amendatory Act of the 98th General Assembly.
18    (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Code or
19any subsequent amendment to this Code, every new benefit
20increase is subject to this Section and shall be deemed to be
21granted only in conformance with and contingent upon
22compliance with the provisions of this Section.
23    (c) The Public Act enacting a new benefit increase must
24identify and provide for payment to the Fund of additional

 

 

HB0417 Enrolled- 57 -LRB102 09987 RPS 15305 b

1funding at least sufficient to fund the resulting annual
2increase in cost to the Fund as it accrues.
3    Every new benefit increase is contingent upon the General
4Assembly providing the additional funding required under this
5subsection (c). The State Actuary shall analyze whether
6adequate additional funding has been provided for the new
7benefit increase. A new benefit increase created by a Public
8Act that does not include the additional funding required
9under this subsection (c) is null and void. If the State
10Actuary determines that the additional funding provided for a
11new benefit increase under this subsection (c) is or has
12become inadequate, it may so certify to the Governor and the
13State Comptroller and, in the absence of corrective action by
14the General Assembly, the new benefit increase shall expire at
15the end of the fiscal year in which the certification is made.
