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

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

 6        (5 ILCS 325/1) (from Ch. 129, par. 501)
 7        Sec. 1. Leave of absence.
 8        (a)  Any  full-time  employee  of  the State of Illinois,
 9    other than an independent contractor, who is a member of  any
10    reserve component of the United States Armed Forces or of any
11    reserve  component  of  the  Illinois State Militia, shall be
12    granted leave from State employment for any  period  actively
13    spent in such military service, including:
14        (1)  basic training;
15        (2)  special  or advanced training, whether or not within
16    the State, and whether or not voluntary; and
17        (3)  annual training.
18        During such leaves, the employee's  seniority  and  other

22    employee.  During leaves for basic training and up to 60 days
23    of  special  or  advanced  training,   if   such   employee's
24    compensation   for  military  activities  is  less  than  his

26    regular  compensation as a State employee minus the amount of
27    his base pay for military activities.
28        (b)  Any full-time employee of  the  State  of  Illinois,
29    other  than an independent contractor, who is a member of the
