AN ACT in relation to burial expenses for State police
officers killed in the line of duty.
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
Section 5. The State Police Act is amended by adding
Section 12.2 as follows:
(20 ILCS 2610/12.2 new)
Sec. 12.2. Burial benefit for State police officers
killed in the line of duty.
(a) The Department of State Police shall pay directly or
reimburse, up to a maximum of $10,000, the burial expenses of
each State police officer who is killed in the line of duty
after June 30, 1997.
(b) The payments provided for in this Section shall be
paid out of moneys appropriated to the Department for the
personal services of State police officers.
(c) The Department of State Police shall adopt rules
governing the administration of this Section.
Section 10. The State Finance Act is amended by changing
Section 14 as follows:
(30 ILCS 105/14) (from Ch. 127, par. 150)
Sec. 14. The item "personal services", when used in an
appropriation Act, means the reward or recompense made for
personal services rendered for the State by an officer or
employee of the State or of an instrumentality thereof, or
for the purpose of Section 14a of this Act, or any amount
required or authorized to be deducted from the salary of any
such person under the provisions of Section 30c of this Act,
or any retirement or tax law, or both, or deductions from the
salary of any such person under the Social Security Enabling
Act or deductions from the salary of such person pursuant to
the Voluntary Payroll Deductions Act of 1983.
If no home is furnished to a person who is a full-time
chaplain employed by the State or a former full-time chaplain
retired from State employment, 20% of the salary or pension
paid to that person for his personal services to the State as
chaplain are considered to be a rental allowance paid to him
to rent or otherwise provide a home. This amendatory Act of
1973 applies to State salary amounts received after December
31, 1973.
When any appropriation payable from trust funds or
federal funds includes an item for personal services but does
not include a separate item for State contribution for
employee group insurance, the State contribution for employee
group insurance in relation to employees paid under that
personal services line item shall also be payable under that
personal services line item.
When any appropriation payable from trust funds or
federal funds includes an item for personal services but does
not include a separate item for employee retirement
contributions paid by the employer, the State contribution
for employee retirement contributions paid by the employer in
relation to employees paid under that personal services line
item shall also be payable under that personal services line
item.
The item "personal services", when used in an
appropriation Act, shall also mean and include a payment to a
State retirement system by a State agency to discharge a debt
arising from the over-refund to an employee of retirement
contributions. The payment to a State retirement system
authorized by this paragraph shall not be construed to
release the employee from his or her obligation to return to
the State the amount of the over-refund.
The item "personal services", when used in an
appropriation Act, also includes a payment to reimburse the
Department of Central Management Services for temporary total
disability benefit payments in accordance with subdivision
(i)(2) of Section 64.1 of the Civil Administrative Code of
Illinois.
Beginning July 1, 1993, the item "personal services" and
related line items, when used in an appropriation Act or this
Act, shall also mean and include back wage claims of State
officers and employees to the extent those claims have not
been satisfied from the back wage appropriation to the
Department of Central Management Services in the preceding
fiscal year, as provided in Section 14b of this Act and
Section 64.1(m) of the Civil Administrative Code of Illinois.
The item "personal services", when used with respect to
State police officers in an appropriation Act, also includes
a payment for the burial expenses of a State police officer
killed in the line of duty, made in accordance with Section
12.2 of the State Police Act and any rules adopted under that
Section.
