6 9-182, 9-199, and 9-204 as follows:
 
7     (40 ILCS 5/9-121.6)  (from Ch. 108 1/2, par. 9-121.6)
8     Sec. 9-121.6. Alternative annuity for county officers. (a)
9 Any county officer elected by vote of the people may elect to
10 establish alternative credits for an alternative annuity by
11 electing in writing to make additional optional contributions
12 in accordance with this Section and procedures established by
13 the board. Such elected county officer may discontinue making
14 the additional optional contributions by notifying the Fund in
15 writing in accordance with this Section and procedures
16 established by the board.
17     Additional optional contributions for the alternative
18 annuity shall be as follows:
19     (1) For service after the option is elected, an additional
20 contribution of 3% of salary shall be contributed to the Fund
21 on the same basis and under the same conditions as
22 contributions required under Sections 9-170 and 9-176.
23     (2) For service before the option is elected, an additional

 

 

HB1702 Engrossed - 2 - LRB095 07885 AMC 28046 b

1 contribution of 3% of the salary for the applicable period of
2 service, plus interest at the effective rate from the date of
3 service to the date of payment. All payments for past service
4 must be paid in full before credit is given. No additional
5 optional contributions may be made for any period of service
6 for which credit has been previously forfeited by acceptance of
7 a refund, unless the refund is repaid in full with interest at
8 the effective rate from the date of refund to the date of
9 repayment.
10     (b) In lieu of the retirement annuity otherwise payable
11 under this Article, any county officer elected by vote of the
12 people who (1) has elected to participate in the Fund and make
13 additional optional contributions in accordance with this
14 Section, and (2) has attained age 60 with at least 10 years of
15 service credit, or has attained age 65 with at least 8 years of
16 service credit, may elect to have his retirement annuity
17 computed as follows: 3% of the participant's salary at the time
18 of termination of service for each of the first 8 years of
19 service credit, plus 4% of such salary for each of the next 4
20 years of service credit, plus 5% of such salary for each year
21 of service credit in excess of 12 years, subject to a maximum
22 of 80% of such salary. To the extent such elected county
23 officer has made additional optional contributions with
24 respect to only a portion of his years of service credit, his
25 retirement annuity will first be determined in accordance with
26 this Section to the extent such additional optional

 

 

HB1702 Engrossed - 3 - LRB095 07885 AMC 28046 b

1 contributions were made, and then in accordance with the
2 remaining Sections of this Article to the extent of years of
3 service credit with respect to which additional optional
4 contributions were not made.
5     (c) In lieu of the disability benefits otherwise payable
6 under this Article, any county officer elected by vote of the
7 people who (1) has elected to participate in the Fund, and (2)
8 has become permanently disabled and as a consequence is unable
9 to perform the duties of his office, and (3) was making
10 optional contributions in accordance with this Section at the
11 time the disability was incurred, may elect to receive a
12 disability annuity calculated in accordance with the formula in
13 subsection (b). For the purposes of this subsection, such
14 elected county officer shall be considered permanently
15 disabled only if: (i) disability occurs while in service as an
16 elected county officer and is of such a nature as to prevent
17 him from reasonably performing the duties of his office at the
18 time; and (ii) the board has received a written certification
19 by at least 2 licensed physicians appointed by it stating that
20 such officer is disabled and that the disability is likely to
21 be permanent.
22     (d) Refunds of additional optional contributions shall be
23 made on the same basis and under the same conditions as
24 provided under Section 9-164, 9-166 and 9-167. Interest shall
25 be credited at the effective rate on the same basis and under
26 the same conditions as for other contributions. Optional

 

 

HB1702 Engrossed - 4 - LRB095 07885 AMC 28046 b

1 contributions shall be accounted for in a separate Elected
2 County Officer Optional Contribution Reserve. Optional
3 contributions under this Section shall be included in the
4 amount of employee contributions used to compute the tax levy
5 under Section 9-169.
6     (e) The effective date of this plan of optional alternative
7 benefits and contributions shall be January 1, 1988, or the
8 date upon which approval is received from the U.S. Internal
9 Revenue Service, whichever is later. The plan of optional
10 alternative benefits and contributions shall not be available
11 to any former county officer or employee receiving an annuity
12 from the Fund on the effective date of the plan, unless he
13 re-enters service as an elected county officer and renders at
14 least 3 years of additional service after the date of re-entry.

17     Sec. 9-133. Automatic increase in annuity.
18     (a) An employee who retired or retires from service after
19 December 31, 1959, having attained age 60 or more or, beginning
20 January 1, 1991, having attained 30 or more years of creditable
21 service, shall, in the month of January of the year following
22 the year in which the first anniversary of retirement occurs,
23 have his then fixed and payable monthly annuity increased by 1
24 1/2%, and such first fixed annuity as granted at retirement
25 increased by a further 1 1/2% in January of each year

 

 

HB1702 Engrossed - 5 - LRB095 07885 AMC 28046 b

1 thereafter. Beginning with January of the year 1972, such
2 increases shall be at the rate of 2% in lieu of the aforesaid
3 specified 1 1/2%. Beginning with January of the year 1982, such
4 increases shall be at the rate of 3% in lieu of the aforesaid
5 specified 2%. Beginning January 1, 1998, these increases shall
6 be at the rate of 3% of the current amount of the annuity,
7 including any previous increases received under this Article,
8 without regard to whether the annuitant is in service on or
9 after the effective date of this amendatory Act of 1997.
10     An employee who retires on annuity before age 60 and,
11 beginning January 1, 1991, with less than 30 years of
12 creditable service shall receive such increases beginning with
13 January of the year immediately following the year in which he
14 attains the age of 60 years. An employee who retires on annuity
15 before age 60 and before January 1, 1991, with at least 30
16 years of creditable service, shall be entitled to receive the
17 first increase under this subsection no later than January 1,
18 1993.
19     For an employee who, in accordance with the provisions of
20 Section 9-108.1 of this Act, shall have become a member of the
21 State System established under Article 14 on February 1, 1974,
22 the first such automatic increase shall begin in January of
23 1975.
24     (b) Subsection (a) is not applicable to an employee
25 retiring and receiving a term annuity, as defined in this Act,
26 nor to any otherwise qualified employee who retires before he

 

 

HB1702 Engrossed - 6 - LRB095 07885 AMC 28046 b

1 makes employee contributions (at the 1/2 of 1% rate as provided
2 in this Section) for this additional annuity for not less than
3 the equivalent of one full year. Such employee, however, shall
4 make arrangement to pay to the fund a balance of such
5 contributions, based on his final salary, as will bring such
6 1/2 of 1% contributions, computed without interest, to the
7 equivalent of one year's contributions.
8     Beginning with the month of January, 1960, each employee
9 shall contribute by means of salary deductions 1/2 of 1% of
10 each salary payment, concurrently with and in addition to the
11 employee contributions otherwise provided for annuity
12 purposes.
13     Each such additional contribution shall be credited to an
14 account in the prior service annuity reserve, to be used,
15 together with county contributions, to defray the cost of the
16 specified annuity increments. Any balance in such account as of
17 the beginning of each calendar year shall be credited with
18 interest at the rate of 3% per annum.
19     Such additional employee contributions are not refundable,
20 except to an employee who withdraws and applies for refund
21 under this Article, or applies for annuity, and also in cases
22 where a term annuity becomes payable. In such cases his
23 contributions shall be refunded, without interest, and charged
24 to the prior service annuity reserve.

11 multiplied by years of credited service, or 1% of their final
12 monthly salary multiplied by years of credited service in any
13 case where the final average salary is not used in the
14 calculation, shall have his original fixed and payable monthly
15 amount of annuity increased in January of the year following
16 the year in which he attains the age of 65 years, if such age of
17 65 years is attained in the year 1969 or later, by an amount
18 equal to 1 1/2%, and by an equal additional 1 1/2% in January

2 of 1997.
3     In those cases in which the retired employee receiving
4 annuity has attained the age of 66 or more years in the year
5 1969, he shall have such annuity increased in January of the
6 year 1970 by an amount equal to 1 1/2% multiplied by the number
7 equal to the number of months of January elapsing from and
8 including January of the year immediately following the year he
9 attained the age of 65 years if retired at or prior to age 65,
10 or from and including January of the year immediately following
11 the year of retirement if retired at an age greater than 65
12 years, to and including January of the year 1970, and by an
13 equal additional 1 1/2% in January of each year thereafter.
14 Beginning with January of the year 1972, such increases shall
15 be at the rate of 2% in lieu of the aforesaid specified 1 1/2%.
16 Beginning with January of the year 1982, such increases shall
17 be at the rate of 3% in lieu of the aforesaid specified 2%.

23     To defray the annual cost of such increases, the annual
24 interest income of the Fund, accruing from investments held by
25 the Fund, exclusive of gains or losses on sales or exchanges of
26 assets during the year, over and above 4% a year, shall be used

 

 

HB1702 Engrossed - 9 - LRB095 07885 AMC 28046 b

1 to the extent necessary and available to finance the cost of
2 such increases for the following year, and such amount shall be
3 transferred as of the end of each year, beginning with the year
4 1969, to a Fund account designated as the Supplementary Payment
5 Reserve from the Investment and Interest Reserve set forth in
6 Sec. 9-214. The sums contributed by annuitants as provided for
7 in this Section shall also be placed in the aforesaid
8 Supplementary Payment Reserve and shall be applied for and used
9 for the purposes of such Fund account, together with the
10 aforesaid interest.
11     In the event the monies in the Supplementary Payment
12 Reserve in any year arising from: (1) the available interest
13 income as defined hereinbefore and accruing in the preceding
14 year above 4% a year and (2) the contributions by retired
15 persons, as set forth hereinbefore, are insufficient to make
16 the total payments to all persons estimated to be entitled to
17 the annuity increases specified hereinbefore, then (3) any
18 interest earnings over 4% a year beginning with the year 1969
19 which were not previously used to finance such increases and
20 which were transferred to the Prior Service Annuity Reserve may
21 be used to the extent necessary and available to provide
22 sufficient funds to finance such increases for the current
23 year, and such sums shall be transferred from the Prior Service
24 Annuity Reserve.

2 persons entitled to such increases for the year, a
3 proportionate amount computed as the ratio of the monies
4 available to the total of the total payments for that year
5 shall be paid to each person for that year.
6     The Fund shall be obligated for the payment of the
7 increases in annuity as provided for in this Section only to
8 the extent that the assets for such purpose, as specified
9 herein, are available.

14 a deceased employee from employee contributions for annuity
15 purposes, and from employee contributions applied to any county
16 pension fund superseded by this fund, have not been paid to
17 him, and in the case of a married male employee to the employee

3 does not survive the employee, the amount shall be refunded to
4 the employee's children, in equal parts with the children of a
5 deceased child taking the share of their parent. If there is no
6 designated beneficiary or children, the refund shall be paid to
7 the administrator or executor of the employee's estate.
8     If an administrator or executor of the estate has not been
9 appointed within 90 days from the date the refund became
10 payable the refund may be applied in the discretion of the
11 board toward the payment of the employee's burial expenses. Any
12 remaining balance shall be paid to the heirs of the employee
13 according to the law of descent and distribution of this state
14 but assuming for the purpose of such payment of refund and
15 determination of heirs that the deceased male employee left no
16 widow surviving in those cases where a widow eligible for
17 widow's annuity as his widow survived him and subsequently
18 died; provided,
19         (a) that if any child or children of the employee are
20     less than age 18, such part or all of any such amount
21     necessary to pay annuities to them shall not be refunded as
22     hereinbefore stated but shall be transferred to the child's
23     annuity reserve and used therein for the payment of such
24     annuities; and provided further,
25         (b) that if a reversionary annuity becomes payable as
26     provided in Section 9-135 such refund shall not be paid
