    Be it enacted by the People of  the  State  of  Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:

    Section  5.  The Military Leave of Absence Act is amended
by changing Section 1 and by adding Section 1.1 as follows:

    (5 ILCS 325/1) (from Ch. 129, par. 501)
    Sec. 1.  Any full-time employee of the State of Illinois,
a unit of local government, or a school district, other  than
an  independent  contractor,  who  is a member of any reserve
component of the United States Armed Forces or of any reserve
component of the Illinois State  Militia,  shall  be  granted
leave  from his or her public State employment for any period
actively spent in such military service, including:
    (1)  basic training;
    (2)  special or advanced training, whether or not  within
the State, and whether or not voluntary; and
    (3)  annual training.
    During  these  such  leaves, the employee's seniority and
other benefits shall continue to accrue.
    During leaves for annual  training,  the  employee  shall
continue  to  receive  his  or  her regular compensation as a
public State employee. During leaves for basic  training  and
up  to  60  days of special or advanced training, if the such
employee's compensation for military activities is less  than
his or her compensation as a public State employee, he or she
shall  receive  his  or  her regular compensation as a public
State employee minus the amount of his or her  base  pay  for
military activities.
