Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process.
Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as
Public
Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the
Guide.
Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes,
statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect.
If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has
not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already
been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes
made to the current law.
(40 ILCS 5/5-227) (from Ch. 108 1/2, par. 5-227)
Sec. 5-227. Felony conviction. None of the benefits provided for in this
Article shall be paid to any person who is convicted of any felony relating
to or arising out of or in connection with his service as a policeman.
None of the benefits provided for in this Article shall be paid to any person who otherwise would receive a survivor benefit who is convicted of any felony relating to or arising out of or in connection with the service of the policeman from whom the benefit results. None of the benefits provided for in this Article shall be paid to any
person who is convicted of any felony while in receipt of disability benefits.
None of the benefits provided for in this Article shall be paid to any
person who is convicted of any felony relating to or arising out of or in
connection with the intentional and wrongful death of a police officer,
either active or retired, through whom such person would become eligible
to receive, or is receiving, an annuity under this Article.
A person who intentionally and unjustifiably causes delay in proceedings in which the person is ultimately convicted of a felony relating to or arising out of or in connection with his service as a policeman shall not be entitled to any benefits provided for in this Article on and after the filing date of the related indictment or charges. This paragraph applies to all persons whose felony conviction was entered on or after January 1, 2019. Any refund required under this Article shall be calculated based on that person's contributions to the Fund, less the amount of any annuity benefit previously received by the person or his or her beneficiaries. This paragraph applies to all persons who make an application for refund to the Fund on or after January 1, 2019. This Section shall not operate to impair any contract or vested right heretofore
acquired under any law or laws continued in this Article, nor to preclude
the right to a refund, and for the changes under this amendatory Act of the 100th General Assembly, shall not impair any contract or vested right acquired by a survivor prior to the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 100th General Assembly.
All future entrants entering service subsequent to July 11, 1955, shall
be deemed to have consented to the provisions of this Section as a
condition of coverage, and all participants entering service subsequent to the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 100th General Assembly shall be deemed to have consented to the provisions of this amendatory Act as a condition of participation.
