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.

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.
