2     Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
3 represented in the General Assembly:
 
4     Section 5. The Illinois Pension Code is amended by changing
5 Section 7-144 as follows:
 
6     (40 ILCS 5/7-144)  (from Ch. 108 1/2, par. 7-144)
7     Sec. 7-144. Retirement annuities-Suspended during
8 employment.
9     (a) (1) If any person described in clause (i) of subsection
10 (a) 2 of Section 7-141 receiving any annuity again becomes an
11 employee and receives earnings from employment in a position
12 normally requiring performance of duty during 600 hours or more
13 per year (1,000 hours or more per year as a Sheriff's law
14 enforcement employee) for any participating municipality and

17 of Section 7-141 receiving any annuity returns to employment in

HB5182 - 2 - LRB096 18591 AMC 33973 b

1 resumed on the 1st day of the month following such
2 qualification and upon proper application therefor. The
3 participating employee in such case shall be entitled to a
4 supplemental annuity arising from service and credits earned
5 subsequent to such re-entry as a participating employee.
6     (b) Supplemental annuities to persons who return to service
7 for less than 48 months shall be computed under the provisions
8 of Sections 7-141, 7-142 and 7-143. In determining whether an
9 employee is eligible for an annuity which requires a minimum
10 period of service, his entire period of service shall be taken
11 into consideration but the supplemental annuity shall be based
12 on earnings and service in the supplemental period only. The
13 effective date of the suspended and supplemental annuity for
14 the purpose of increases after retirement shall be considered
15 to be the effective date of the suspended annuity.
16     (c) Supplemental annuities to persons who return to service
17 for 48 months or more shall be a monthly amount determined as
18 follows:
19         (1) An amount shall be computed under subparagraph b of
20     paragraph (1) of subsection (a) of Section 7-142,
21     considering all of the service credits of the employee;
22         (2) The actuarial value in monthly payments for life of
23     the annuity payments made before suspension shall be
24     determined and subtracted from the amount determined in (1)
25     above;
26         (3) The monthly amount of the suspended annuity, with

 

 

HB5182 - 3 - LRB096 18591 AMC 33973 b

1     any applicable increases after retirement computed from
2     the effective date to the date of reinstatement, shall be
3     subtracted from the amount determined in (2) above and the
4     remainder shall be the amount of the supplemental annuity
5     provided that this amount shall not be less than the amount
6     computed under subsection (b) of this Section.
7         (4) The suspended annuity shall be reinstated at an
8     amount including any increases after retirement from the
9     effective date to date of reinstatement.
10         (5) The effective date of the combined suspended and
11     supplemental annuities for the purposes of increases after
12     retirement shall be considered to be the effective date of
13     the supplemental annuity.
