| 11 | | Sec. 2-124. Contributions by State.
| 12 | | (a) The State shall make contributions to the System by
| 13 | | appropriations of amounts which, together with the | 14 | | contributions of
participants, interest earned on investments, | 15 | | and other income

funded basis in accordance |

| 1 | | with actuarial recommendations.
| 2 | | (b) The Board shall determine the amount of State
| 3 | | contributions required for each fiscal year on the basis of the

| 7 | | (c) For State fiscal years 2012 through 2045, the minimum | 8 | | contribution
to the System to be made by the State for each | 9 | | fiscal year shall be an amount

System up to 90% of | 11 | | the total actuarial liabilities of the System by the end of
| 12 | | State fiscal year 2045. In making these determinations, the | 13 | | required State
contribution shall be calculated each year as a | 14 | | level percentage of payroll
over the years remaining to and | 15 | | including fiscal year 2045 and shall be
determined under the | 16 | | projected unit credit actuarial cost method.
| 17 | | For State fiscal years 1996 through 2005, the State | 18 | | contribution to
the System, as a percentage of the applicable | 19 | | employee payroll, shall be
increased in equal annual increments | 20 | | so that by State fiscal year 2011, the
State is contributing at | 21 | | the rate required under this Section.
| 22 | | Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article, the | 23 | | total required State
contribution for State fiscal year 2006 is | 24 | | $4,157,000.

| 2 | | For each of State fiscal years 2008 through 2009, the State | 3 | | contribution to
the System, as a percentage of the applicable | 4 | | employee payroll, shall be
increased in equal annual increments | 5 | | from the required State contribution for State fiscal year | 6 | | 2007, so that by State fiscal year 2011, the
State is | 7 | | contributing at the rate otherwise required under this Section.
| 8 | | Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article, the | 9 | | total required State contribution for State fiscal year 2010 is | 10 | | $10,454,000 and shall be made from the proceeds of bonds sold | 11 | | in fiscal year 2010 pursuant to Section 7.2 of the General | 12 | | Obligation Bond Act, less (i) the pro rata share of bond sale | 13 | | expenses determined by the System's share of total bond | 14 | | proceeds, (ii) any amounts received from the General Revenue | 15 | | Fund in fiscal year 2010, and (iii) any reduction in bond | 16 | | proceeds due to the issuance of discounted bonds, if | 17 | | applicable. | 18 | | Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article, the
| 19 | | total required State contribution for State fiscal year 2011 is
| 20 | | the amount recertified by the System on or before April 1, 2011 | 21 | | June 15, 2010 pursuant to Section 2-134 and shall be made from | 22 | | the proceeds of bonds sold
in fiscal year 2011 pursuant to | 23 | | Section 7.2 of the General
Obligation Bond Act, less (i) the | 24 | | pro rata share of bond sale
expenses determined by the System's | 25 | | share of total bond
proceeds, (ii) any amounts received from | 26 | | the General Revenue
Fund in fiscal year 2011, and (iii) any |
| | | 09600SB1858ham002 | - 4 - | LRB096 06188 JDS 44862 a |
|
| 1 | | reduction in bond
proceeds due to the issuance of discounted | 2 | | bonds, if
applicable. | 3 | | Beginning in State fiscal year 2046, the minimum State | 4 | | contribution for
each fiscal year shall be the amount needed to | 5 | | maintain the total assets of
the System at 90% of the total | 6 | | actuarial liabilities of the System.
| 7 | | Amounts received by the System pursuant to Section 25 of | 8 | | the Budget Stabilization Act or Section 8.12 of the State | 9 | | Finance Act in any fiscal year do not reduce and do not | 10 | | constitute payment of any portion of the minimum State | 11 | | contribution required under this Article in that fiscal year. | 12 | | Such amounts shall not reduce, and shall not be included in the | 13 | | calculation of, the required State contributions under this | 14 | | Article in any future year until the System has reached a | 15 | | funding ratio of at least 90%. A reference in this Article to | 16 | | the "required State contribution" or any substantially similar | 17 | | term does not include or apply to any amounts payable to the | 18 | | System under Section 25 of the Budget Stabilization Act.
| 19 | | Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, the | 20 | | required State
contribution for State fiscal year 2005 and for | 21 | | fiscal year 2008 and each fiscal year thereafter, as
calculated | 22 | | under this Section and
certified under Section 2-134, shall not | 23 | | exceed an amount equal to (i) the
amount of the required State | 24 | | contribution that would have been calculated under
this Section | 25 | | for that fiscal year if the System had not received any | 26 | | payments
under subsection (d) of Section 7.2 of the General |
| | | 09600SB1858ham002 | - 5 - | LRB096 06188 JDS 44862 a |
|
| 1 | | Obligation Bond Act, minus
(ii) the portion of the State's | 2 | | total debt service payments for that fiscal
year on the bonds | 3 | | issued for the purposes of that Section 7.2, as determined
and | 4 | | certified by the Comptroller, that is the same as the System's | 5 | | portion of
the total moneys distributed under subsection (d) of | 6 | | Section 7.2 of the General
Obligation Bond Act. In determining | 7 | | this maximum for State fiscal years 2008 through 2010, however, | 8 | | the amount referred to in item (i) shall be increased, as a | 9 | | percentage of the applicable employee payroll, in equal | 10 | | increments calculated from the sum of the required State | 11 | | contribution for State fiscal year 2007 plus the applicable | 12 | | portion of the State's total debt service payments for fiscal | 13 | | year 2007 on the bonds issued for the purposes of Section 7.2 | 14 | | of the General
Obligation Bond Act, so that, by State fiscal | 15 | | year 2011, the
State is contributing at the rate otherwise | 16 | | required under this Section.
| 17 | | (d) For purposes of determining the required State | 18 | | contribution to the System, the value of the System's assets | 19 | | shall be equal to the actuarial value of the System's assets, | 20 | | which shall be calculated as follows: | 21 | | As of June 30, 2008, the actuarial value of the System's | 22 | | assets shall be equal to the market value of the assets as of | 23 | | that date. In determining the actuarial value of the System's | 24 | | assets for fiscal years after June 30, 2008, any actuarial | 25 | | gains or losses from investment return incurred in a fiscal | 26 | | year shall be recognized in equal annual amounts over the |
| | | 09600SB1858ham002 | - 6 - | LRB096 06188 JDS 44862 a |
|
| 1 | | 5-year period following that fiscal year. | 2 | | (e) For purposes of determining the required State | 3 | | contribution to the system for a particular year, the actuarial | 4 | | value of assets shall be assumed to earn a rate of return equal | 5 | | to the system's actuarially assumed rate of return. | 6 | | (Source: P.A. 95-950, eff. 8-29-08; 96-43, eff. 7-15-09; | 7 | | 09600SB3514ham003.)

State fiscal year 2005, taking | 19 | | into account the amounts appropriated to and
received by the | 20 | | System under subsection (d) of Section 7.2 of the General
| 21 | | Obligation Bond Act.
| 22 | | On or before July 1, 2005, the Board shall recalculate and | 23 | | recertify

| 24 | | contribution to the System for State fiscal year 2006, taking | 25 | | into account the changes in required State contributions made |
| | | 09600SB1858ham002 | - 7 - | LRB096 06188 JDS 44862 a |
|
| 1 | | by this amendatory Act of the 94th General Assembly.
| 2 | | On or before April 1, 2011 June 15, 2010 , the Board shall | 3 | | recalculate and recertify to the Governor the amount of the | 4 | | required State contribution to the System for State fiscal year | 5 | | 2011, applying the changes made by Public Act 96-889 to the | 6 | | System's assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2009 as though | 7 | | Public Act 96-889 was approved on that date. | 8 | | (b) Beginning in State fiscal year 1996, on or as soon as | 9 | | possible after the
15th day of each month the Board shall | 10 | | submit vouchers for payment of State
contributions to the | 11 | | System, in a total monthly amount of one-twelfth of the
| 12 | | required annual State contribution certified under subsection | 13 | | (a).
From the effective date of this amendatory Act
of the 93rd | 14 | | General Assembly through June 30, 2004, the Board shall not
| 15 | | submit vouchers for the remainder of fiscal year 2004 in excess | 16 | | of the

System under subsection (d) of Section | 19 | | 6z-61 of the State Finance Act.
These
vouchers shall be paid by | 20 | | the State Comptroller and Treasurer by warrants drawn
on the | 21 | | funds appropriated to the System for that fiscal year. If in | 22 | | any month
the amount remaining unexpended from all other | 23 | | appropriations to the System for
the applicable fiscal year | 24 | | (including the appropriations to the System under
Section 8.12 | 25 | | of the State Finance Act and Section 1 of the State Pension | 26 | | Funds
Continuing Appropriation Act) is less than the amount |
| | | 09600SB1858ham002 | - 8 - | LRB096 06188 JDS 44862 a |
|
| 1 | | lawfully vouchered under
this Section, the difference shall be | 2 | | paid from the General Revenue Fund under
the continuing | 3 | | appropriation authority provided in Section 1.1 of the State
| 4 | | Pension Funds Continuing Appropriation Act.
| 5 | | (c) The full amount of any annual appropriation for the | 6 | | System for
State fiscal year 1995 shall be transferred and made | 7 | | available to the System
at the beginning of that fiscal year at | 8 | | the request of the Board.
Any excess funds remaining at the end | 9 | | of any fiscal year from appropriations
shall be retained by the | 10 | | System as a general reserve to meet the System's
accrued | 11 | | liabilities.

| 15 | | Sec. 14-131. Contributions by State.
| 16 | | (a) The State shall make contributions to the System by | 17 | | appropriations of
amounts which, together with other employer | 18 | | contributions from trust, federal,
and other funds, employee | 19 | | contributions, investment income, and other income,
will be | 20 | | sufficient to meet the cost of maintaining and administering | 21 | | the System
on a 90% funded basis in accordance with actuarial | 22 | | recommendations.
| 23 | | For the purposes of this Section and Section 14-135.08, | 24 | | references to State
contributions refer only to employer | 25 | | contributions and do not include employee
contributions that |
| | | 09600SB1858ham002 | - 9 - | LRB096 06188 JDS 44862 a |
|
| 1 | | are picked up or otherwise paid by the State or a
department on | 2 | | behalf of the employee.
| 3 | | (b) The Board shall determine the total amount of State | 4 | | contributions
required for each fiscal year on the basis of the | 5 | | actuarial tables and other
assumptions adopted by the Board, | 6 | | using the formula in subsection (e).
| 7 | | The Board shall also determine a State contribution rate | 8 | | for each fiscal
year, expressed as a percentage of payroll, | 9 | | based on the total required State
contribution for that fiscal | 10 | | year (less the amount received by the System from
| 11 | | appropriations under Section 8.12 of the State Finance Act and | 12 | | Section 1 of the
State Pension Funds Continuing Appropriation | 13 | | Act, if any, for the fiscal year
ending on the June 30 | 14 | | immediately preceding the applicable November 15
certification | 15 | | deadline), the estimated payroll (including all forms of
| 16 | | compensation) for personal services rendered by eligible | 17 | | employees, and the

| 25 | | (c) Contributions shall be made by the several departments | 26 | | for each pay

| | | 09600SB1858ham002 | - 10 - | LRB096 06188 JDS 44862 a |
|
| 1 | | against their respective
funds or appropriations based upon | 2 | | vouchers stating the amount to be so
contributed. These amounts | 3 | | shall be based on the full rate certified by the
Board under | 4 | | Section 14-135.08 for that fiscal year.
From the effective date | 5 | | of this amendatory Act of the 93rd General
Assembly through the | 6 | | payment of the final payroll from fiscal year 2004
| 7 | | appropriations, the several departments shall not make | 8 | | contributions
for the remainder of fiscal year 2004 but shall | 9 | | instead make payments
as required under subsection (a-1) of | 10 | | Section 14.1 of the State Finance Act.
The several departments | 11 | | shall resume those contributions at the commencement of
fiscal | 12 | | year 2005.
| 13 | | (c-1) Notwithstanding subsection (c) of this Section, for | 14 | | fiscal year 2010 only, contributions by the several departments | 15 | | are not required to be made for General Revenue Funds payrolls | 16 | | processed by the Comptroller.

department or other employer shall pay employer | 26 | | contributions from those funds
to the System at the certified |
| | | 09600SB1858ham002 | - 11 - | LRB096 06188 JDS 44862 a |
|
| 1 | | rate, unless the terms of the trust or the
federal-State | 2 | | agreement preclude the use of the funds for that purpose, in
| 3 | | which case the required employer contributions shall be paid by | 4 | | the State.
From the effective date of this amendatory
Act of | 5 | | the 93rd General Assembly through the payment of the final
| 6 | | payroll from fiscal year 2004 appropriations, the department or | 7 | | other
employer shall not pay contributions for the remainder of | 8 | | fiscal year
2004 but shall instead make payments as required | 9 | | under subsection (a-1) of
Section 14.1 of the State Finance | 10 | | Act. The department or other employer shall
resume payment of
| 11 | | contributions at the commencement of fiscal year 2005.

contribution shall be calculated each year as a | 19 | | level percentage of payroll
over the years remaining to and | 20 | | including fiscal year 2045 and shall be
determined under the | 21 | | projected unit credit actuarial cost method.

| 1 | | Amounts received by the System pursuant to Section 25 of | 2 | | the Budget Stabilization Act or Section 8.12 of the State | 3 | | Finance Act in any fiscal year do not reduce and do not | 4 | | constitute payment of any portion of the minimum State | 5 | | contribution required under this Article in that fiscal year. | 6 | | Such amounts shall not reduce, and shall not be included in the | 7 | | calculation of, the required State contributions under this | 8 | | Article in any future year until the System has reached a | 9 | | funding ratio of at least 90%. A reference in this Article to | 10 | | the "required State contribution" or any substantially similar | 11 | | term does not include or apply to any amounts payable to the | 12 | | System under Section 25 of the Budget Stabilization Act.
| 13 | | Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, the | 14 | | required State

(ii) the portion of the State's | 22 | | total debt service payments for that fiscal
year on the bonds | 23 | | issued for the purposes of that Section 7.2, as determined
and | 24 | | certified by the Comptroller, that is the same as the System's | 25 | | portion of
the total moneys distributed under subsection (d) of | 26 | | Section 7.2 of the General
Obligation Bond Act. In determining |
| | | 09600SB1858ham002 | - 15 - | LRB096 06188 JDS 44862 a |
|
| 1 | | this maximum for State fiscal years 2008 through 2010, however, | 2 | | the amount referred to in item (i) shall be increased, as a | 3 | | percentage of the applicable employee payroll, in equal | 4 | | increments calculated from the sum of the required State | 5 | | contribution for State fiscal year 2007 plus the applicable | 6 | | portion of the State's total debt service payments for fiscal | 7 | | year 2007 on the bonds issued for the purposes of Section 7.2 | 8 | | of the General
Obligation Bond Act, so that, by State fiscal | 9 | | year 2011, the
State is contributing at the rate otherwise | 10 | | required under this Section.
| 11 | | (f) After the submission of all payments for eligible | 12 | | employees

the Comptroller shall provide to the System a | 14 | | certification of the sum
of all fiscal year 2004 expenditures | 15 | | for personal services that would
have been covered by payments | 16 | | to the System under this Section if the
provisions of this | 17 | | amendatory Act of the 93rd General Assembly had not been
| 18 | | enacted. Upon
receipt of the certification, the System shall | 19 | | determine the amount
due to the System based on the full rate | 20 | | certified by the Board under
Section 14-135.08 for fiscal year | 21 | | 2004 in order to meet the State's
obligation under this | 22 | | Section. The System shall compare this amount
due to the amount | 23 | | received by the System in fiscal year 2004 through
payments | 24 | | under this Section and under Section 6z-61 of the State Finance | 25 | | Act.
If the amount
due is more than the amount received, the | 26 | | difference shall be termed the

| 1 | | purposes of this Section, and the
Fiscal Year 2004 Shortfall | 2 | | shall be satisfied under Section 1.2 of the State
Pension Funds | 3 | | Continuing Appropriation Act. If the amount due is less than | 4 | | the
amount received, the
difference shall be termed the "Fiscal | 5 | | Year 2004 Overpayment" for purposes of
this Section, and the | 6 | | Fiscal Year 2004 Overpayment shall be repaid by
the System to | 7 | | the Pension Contribution Fund as soon as practicable
after the | 8 | | certification.
| 9 | | (g) For purposes of determining the required State | 10 | | contribution to the System, the value of the System's assets | 11 | | shall be equal to the actuarial value of the System's assets, | 12 | | which shall be calculated as follows: | 13 | | As of June 30, 2008, the actuarial value of the System's | 14 | | assets shall be equal to the market value of the assets as of | 15 | | that date. In determining the actuarial value of the System's | 16 | | assets for fiscal years after June 30, 2008, any actuarial | 17 | | gains or losses from investment return incurred in a fiscal | 18 | | year shall be recognized in equal annual amounts over the | 19 | | 5-year period following that fiscal year. | 20 | | (h) For purposes of determining the required State | 21 | | contribution to the System for a particular year, the actuarial | 22 | | value of assets shall be assumed to earn a rate of return equal | 23 | | to the System's actuarially assumed rate of return. | 24 | | (i) After the submission of all payments for eligible | 25 | | employees from personal services line items paid from the | 26 | | General Revenue Fund in fiscal year 2010 have been made, the |

Upon receipt of the | 6 | | certification, the System shall determine the amount due to the | 7 | | System based on the full rate certified by the Board under | 8 | | Section 14-135.08 for fiscal year 2010 in order to meet the | 9 | | State's obligation under this Section. The System shall compare | 10 | | this amount due to the amount received by the System in fiscal | 11 | | year 2010 through payments under this Section. If the amount | 12 | | due is more than the amount received, the difference shall be | 13 | | termed the "Fiscal Year 2010 Shortfall" for purposes of this | 14 | | Section, and the Fiscal Year 2010 Shortfall shall be satisfied | 15 | | under Section 1.2 of the State Pension Funds Continuing | 16 | | Appropriation Act. If the amount due is less than the amount | 17 | | received, the difference shall be termed the "Fiscal Year 2010 | 18 | | Overpayment" for purposes of this Section, and the Fiscal Year | 19 | | 2010 Overpayment shall be repaid by the System to the General | 20 | | Revenue Fund as soon as practicable after the certification. | 21 | | (j) After the submission of all payments for eligible | 22 | | employees from personal services line items paid from the | 23 | | General Revenue Fund in fiscal year 2011 have been made, the | 24 | | Comptroller shall provide to the System a certification of the | 25 | | sum of all fiscal year 2011 expenditures for personal services | 26 | | that would have been covered by payments to the System under |

The System shall compare | 7 | | this amount due to the amount received by the System in fiscal | 8 | | year 2011 through payments under this Section. If the amount | 9 | | due is more than the amount received, the difference shall be | 10 | | termed the "Fiscal Year 2011 Shortfall" for purposes of this | 11 | | Section, and the Fiscal Year 2011 Shortfall shall be satisfied | 12 | | under Section 1.2 of the State Pension Funds Continuing | 13 | | Appropriation Act.

amounts which, together with the other | 21 | | employer contributions from trust,
federal, and other funds, | 22 | | employee contributions, income from investments,
and other | 23 | | income of this System, will be sufficient to meet the cost of
| 24 | | maintaining and administering the System on a 90% funded basis | 25 | | in accordance
with actuarial recommendations.
|
| | | 09600SB1858ham002 | - 21 - | LRB096 06188 JDS 44862 a |
|
| 1 | | The Board shall determine the amount of State contributions | 2 | | required for
each fiscal year on the basis of the actuarial | 3 | | tables and other assumptions
adopted by the Board and the | 4 | | recommendations of the actuary, using the formula
in subsection | 5 | | (a-1).
| 6 | | (a-1) For State fiscal years 2012 through 2045, the minimum | 7 | | contribution
to the System to be made by the State for each | 8 | | fiscal year shall be an amount
determined by the System to be | 9 | | sufficient to bring the total assets of the
System up to 90% of | 10 | | the total actuarial liabilities of the System by the end of
| 11 | | State fiscal year 2045. In making these determinations, the | 12 | | required State
contribution shall be calculated each year as a | 13 | | level percentage of payroll
over the years remaining to and | 14 | | including fiscal year 2045 and shall be
determined under the | 15 | | projected unit credit actuarial cost method.
| 16 | | For State fiscal years 1996 through 2005, the State | 17 | | contribution to
the System, as a percentage of the applicable | 18 | | employee payroll, shall be
increased in equal annual increments | 19 | | so that by State fiscal year 2011, the
State is contributing at | 20 | | the rate required under this Section.
| 21 | | Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article, the | 22 | | total required State
contribution for State fiscal year 2006 is | 23 | | $166,641,900.

the System, as a percentage of the applicable | 3 | | employee payroll, shall be
increased in equal annual increments | 4 | | from the required State contribution for State fiscal year | 5 | | 2007, so that by State fiscal year 2011, the
State is | 6 | | contributing at the rate otherwise required under this Section.
| 7 | | Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article, the | 8 | | total required State contribution for State fiscal year 2010 is | 9 | | $702,514,000 and shall be made from the State Pensions Fund and | 10 | | proceeds of bonds sold in fiscal year 2010 pursuant to Section | 11 | | 7.2 of the General Obligation Bond Act, less (i) the pro rata | 12 | | share of bond sale expenses determined by the System's share of | 13 | | total bond proceeds, (ii) any amounts received from the General | 14 | | Revenue Fund in fiscal year 2010, (iii) any reduction in bond | 15 | | proceeds due to the issuance of discounted bonds, if | 16 | | applicable. | 17 | | Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article, the
| 18 | | total required State contribution for State fiscal year 2011 is
| 19 | | the amount recertified by the System on or before April 1, 2011 | 20 | | June 15, 2010 pursuant to Section 15-165 and shall be made from | 21 | | the State Pensions Fund and
proceeds of bonds sold in fiscal | 22 | | year 2011 pursuant to Section
7.2 of the General Obligation | 23 | | Bond Act, less (i) the pro rata
share of bond sale expenses | 24 | | determined by the System's share of
total bond proceeds, (ii) | 25 | | any amounts received from the General
Revenue Fund in fiscal | 26 | | year 2011, and (iii) any reduction in bond
proceeds due to the |

applicable. | 2 | | Beginning in State fiscal year 2046, the minimum State | 3 | | contribution for
each fiscal year shall be the amount needed to | 4 | | maintain the total assets of
the System at 90% of the total | 5 | | actuarial liabilities of the System.
| 6 | | Amounts received by the System pursuant to Section 25 of | 7 | | the Budget Stabilization Act or Section 8.12 of the State | 8 | | Finance Act in any fiscal year do not reduce and do not | 9 | | constitute payment of any portion of the minimum State | 10 | | contribution required under this Article in that fiscal year. | 11 | | Such amounts shall not reduce, and shall not be included in the | 12 | | calculation of, the required State contributions under this | 13 | | Article in any future year until the System has reached a | 14 | | funding ratio of at least 90%. A reference in this Article to | 15 | | the "required State contribution" or any substantially similar | 16 | | term does not include or apply to any amounts payable to the | 17 | | System under Section 25 of the Budget Stabilization Act. | 18 | | Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, the | 19 | | required State
contribution for State fiscal year 2005 and for | 20 | | fiscal year 2008 and each fiscal year thereafter, as
calculated | 21 | | under this Section and
certified under Section 15-165, shall | 22 | | not exceed an amount equal to (i) the
amount of the required | 23 | | State contribution that would have been calculated under
this | 24 | | Section for that fiscal year if the System had not received any | 25 | | payments
under subsection (d) of Section 7.2 of the General | 26 | | Obligation Bond Act, minus
(ii) the portion of the State's |
| | | 09600SB1858ham002 | - 24 - | LRB096 06188 JDS 44862 a |
|
| 1 | | total debt service payments for that fiscal
year on the bonds | 2 | | issued for the purposes of that Section 7.2, as determined
and | 3 | | certified by the Comptroller, that is the same as the System's | 4 | | portion of
the total moneys distributed under subsection (d) of | 5 | | Section 7.2 of the General
Obligation Bond Act. In determining | 6 | | this maximum for State fiscal years 2008 through 2010, however, | 7 | | the amount referred to in item (i) shall be increased, as a | 8 | | percentage of the applicable employee payroll, in equal | 9 | | increments calculated from the sum of the required State | 10 | | contribution for State fiscal year 2007 plus the applicable | 11 | | portion of the State's total debt service payments for fiscal | 12 | | year 2007 on the bonds issued for the purposes of Section 7.2 | 13 | | of the General
Obligation Bond Act, so that, by State fiscal | 14 | | year 2011, the
State is contributing at the rate otherwise | 15 | | required under this Section.
| 16 | | (b) If an employee is paid from trust or federal funds, the | 17 | | employer
shall pay to the Board contributions from those funds | 18 | | which are
sufficient to cover the accruing normal costs on | 19 | | behalf of the employee.
However, universities having employees | 20 | | who are compensated out of local
auxiliary funds, income funds, | 21 | | or service enterprise funds are not required
to pay such | 22 | | contributions on behalf of those employees. The local auxiliary
| 23 | | funds, income funds, and service enterprise funds of | 24 | | universities shall not be
considered trust funds for the | 25 | | purpose of this Article, but funds of alumni
associations, | 26 | | foundations, and athletic associations which are affiliated |
| | | 09600SB1858ham002 | - 25 - | LRB096 06188 JDS 44862 a |

the universities included as employers under this Article | 2 | | and other employers
which do not receive State appropriations | 3 | | are considered to be trust funds for
the purpose of this | 4 | | Article.

employer contributions to this System for their | 7 | | respective firefighter
employees who participate in this | 8 | | System pursuant to subsection (h) of Section
15-107. The rate | 9 | | of contributions to be made by those municipalities shall
be | 10 | | determined annually by the Board on the basis of the actuarial | 11 | | assumptions
adopted by the Board and the recommendations of the | 12 | | actuary, and shall be
expressed as a percentage of salary for | 13 | | each such employee. The Board shall
certify the rate to the | 14 | | affected municipalities as soon as may be practical.
The | 15 | | employer contributions required under this subsection shall be | 16 | | remitted by
the municipality to the System at the same time and | 17 | | in the same manner as
employee contributions.
| 18 | | (c) Through State fiscal year 1995: The total employer | 19 | | contribution shall
be apportioned among the various funds of | 20 | | the State and other employers,
whether trust, federal, or other | 21 | | funds, in accordance with actuarial procedures
approved by the | 22 | | Board. State of Illinois contributions for employers receiving
| 23 | | State appropriations for personal services shall be payable | 24 | | from appropriations
made to the employers or to the System. The | 25 | | contributions for Class I
community colleges covering earnings | 26 | | other than those paid from trust and
federal funds, shall be |
| | | 09600SB1858ham002 | - 26 - | LRB096 06188 JDS 44862 a |
|
| 1 | | payable solely from appropriations to the Illinois
Community | 2 | | College Board or the System for employer contributions.
| 3 | | (d) Beginning in State fiscal year 1996, the required State | 4 | | contributions
to the System shall be appropriated directly to | 5 | | the System and shall be payable
through vouchers issued in | 6 | | accordance with subsection (c) of Section 15-165, except as | 7 | | provided in subsection (g).
| 8 | | (e) The State Comptroller shall draw warrants payable to | 9 | | the System upon
proper certification by the System or by the | 10 | | employer in accordance with the
appropriation laws and this | 11 | | Code.
| 12 | | (f) Normal costs under this Section means liability for
| 13 | | pensions and other benefits which accrues to the System because | 14 | | of the
credits earned for service rendered by the participants | 15 | | during the
fiscal year and expenses of administering the | 16 | | System, but shall not
include the principal of or any | 17 | | redemption premium or interest on any bonds
issued by the Board | 18 | | or any expenses incurred or deposits required in
connection | 19 | | therewith.
| 20 | | (g) If the amount of a participant's earnings for any | 21 | | academic year used to determine the final rate of earnings, | 22 | | determined on a full-time equivalent basis, exceeds the amount | 23 | | of his or her earnings with the same employer for the previous | 24 | | academic year, determined on a full-time equivalent basis, by | 25 | | more than 6%, the participant's employer shall pay to the | 26 | | System, in addition to all other payments required under this |
| | | 09600SB1858ham002 | - 27 - | LRB096 06188 JDS 44862 a |
|
| 1 | | Section and in accordance with guidelines established by the | 2 | | System, the present value of the increase in benefits resulting | 3 | | from the portion of the increase in earnings that is in excess | 4 | | of 6%. This present value shall be computed by the System on | 5 | | the basis of the actuarial assumptions and tables used in the | 6 | | most recent actuarial valuation of the System that is available | 7 | | at the time of the computation. The System may require the | 8 | | employer to provide any pertinent information or | 9 | | documentation. | 10 | | Whenever it determines that a payment is or may be required | 11 | | under this subsection (g), the System shall calculate the | 12 | | amount of the payment and bill the employer for that amount. | 13 | | The bill shall specify the calculations used to determine the | 14 | | amount due. If the employer disputes the amount of the bill, it | 15 | | may, within 30 days after receipt of the bill, apply to the | 16 | | System in writing for a recalculation. The application must | 17 | | specify in detail the grounds of the dispute and, if the | 18 | | employer asserts that the calculation is subject to subsection | 19 | | (h) or (i) of this Section, must include an affidavit setting | 20 | | forth and attesting to all facts within the employer's | 21 | | knowledge that are pertinent to the applicability of subsection | 22 | | (h) or (i). Upon receiving a timely application for | 23 | | recalculation, the System shall review the application and, if | 24 | | appropriate, recalculate the amount due.
| 25 | | The employer contributions required under this subsection | 26 | | (f) may be paid in the form of a lump sum within 90 days after |
| | | 09600SB1858ham002 | - 28 - | LRB096 06188 JDS 44862 a |
|
| 1 | | receipt of the bill. If the employer contributions are not paid | 2 | | within 90 days after receipt of the bill, then interest will be | 3 | | charged at a rate equal to the System's annual actuarially | 4 | | assumed rate of return on investment compounded annually from | 5 | | the 91st day after receipt of the bill. Payments must be | 6 | | concluded within 3 years after the employer's receipt of the | 7 | | bill. | 8 | | (h) This subsection (h) applies only to payments made or | 9 | | salary increases given on or after June 1, 2005 but before July | 10 | | 1, 2011. The changes made by Public Act 94-1057 shall not | 11 | | require the System to refund any payments received before July | 12 | | 31, 2006 (the effective date of Public Act 94-1057). | 13 | | When assessing payment for any amount due under subsection | 14 | | (g), the System shall exclude earnings increases paid to | 15 | | participants under contracts or collective bargaining | 16 | | agreements entered into, amended, or renewed before June 1, | 17 | | 2005.
| 18 | | When assessing payment for any amount due under subsection | 19 | | (g), the System shall exclude earnings increases paid to a | 20 | | participant at a time when the participant is 10 or more years | 21 | | from retirement eligibility under Section 15-135.
| 22 | | When assessing payment for any amount due under subsection | 23 | | (g), the System shall exclude earnings increases resulting from | 24 | | overload work, including a contract for summer teaching, or | 25 | | overtime when the employer has certified to the System, and the | 26 | | System has approved the certification, that: (i) in the case of |
| | | 09600SB1858ham002 | - 29 - | LRB096 06188 JDS 44862 a |
|
| 1 | | overloads (A) the overload work is for the sole purpose of | 2 | | academic instruction in excess of the standard number of | 3 | | instruction hours for a full-time employee occurring during the | 4 | | academic year that the overload is paid and (B) the earnings | 5 | | increases are equal to or less than the rate of pay for | 6 | | academic instruction computed using the participant's current | 7 | | salary rate and work schedule; and (ii) in the case of | 8 | | overtime, the overtime was necessary for the educational | 9 | | mission. | 10 | | When assessing payment for any amount due under subsection | 11 | | (g), the System shall exclude any earnings increase resulting | 12 | | from (i) a promotion for which the employee moves from one | 13 | | classification to a higher classification under the State | 14 | | Universities Civil Service System, (ii) a promotion in academic | 15 | | rank for a tenured or tenure-track faculty position, or (iii) a | 16 | | promotion that the Illinois Community College Board has | 17 | | recommended in accordance with subsection (k) of this Section. | 18 | | These earnings increases shall be excluded only if the | 19 | | promotion is to a position that has existed and been filled by | 20 | | a member for no less than one complete academic year and the | 21 | | earnings increase as a result of the promotion is an increase | 22 | | that results in an amount no greater than the average salary | 23 | | paid for other similar positions. | 24 | | (i) When assessing payment for any amount due under | 25 | | subsection (g), the System shall exclude any salary increase | 26 | | described in subsection (h) of this Section given on or after |

| 8 | | (j) The System shall prepare a report and file copies of | 9 | | the report with the Governor and the General Assembly by | 10 | | January 1, 2007 that contains all of the following information: | 11 | | (1) The number of recalculations required by the | 12 | | changes made to this Section by Public Act 94-1057 for each | 13 | | employer. | 14 | | (2) The dollar amount by which each employer's | 15 | | contribution to the System was changed due to | 16 | | recalculations required by Public Act 94-1057. | 17 | | (3) The total amount the System received from each | 18 | | employer as a result of the changes made to this Section by | 19 | | Public Act 94-4. | 20 | | (4) The increase in the required State contribution | 21 | | resulting from the changes made to this Section by Public | 22 | | Act 94-1057. | 23 | | (k) The Illinois Community College Board shall adopt rules | 24 | | for recommending lists of promotional positions submitted to | 25 | | the Board by community colleges and for reviewing the | 26 | | promotional lists on an annual basis. When recommending |

Nothing in | 10 | | this subsection (k) shall require any community college to | 11 | | submit any information to the Community College Board.
| 12 | | (l) For purposes of determining the required State | 13 | | contribution to the System, the value of the System's assets | 14 | | shall be equal to the actuarial value of the System's assets, | 15 | | which shall be calculated as follows: | 16 | | As of June 30, 2008, the actuarial value of the System's | 17 | | assets shall be equal to the market value of the assets as of | 18 | | that date. In determining the actuarial value of the System's | 19 | | assets for fiscal years after June 30, 2008, any actuarial | 20 | | gains or losses from investment return incurred in a fiscal | 21 | | year shall be recognized in equal annual amounts over the | 22 | | 5-year period following that fiscal year. | 23 | | (m) For purposes of determining the required State | 24 | | contribution to the system for a particular year, the actuarial | 25 | | value of assets shall be assumed to earn a rate of return equal | 26 | | to the system's actuarially assumed rate of return. |

applied second toward | 8 | | the employer's portion of the normal costs of the System,
as | 9 | | defined in subsection (f) of Section 15-155. The balance shall | 10 | | be applied
toward the unfunded actuarial liabilities of the | 11 | | System.
| 12 | | (e) In the event that the System does not receive, as a | 13 | | result of
legislative enactment or otherwise, payments | 14 | | sufficient to
fully fund the employer contribution to the | 15 | | self-managed plan
established under Section 15-158.2 and to | 16 | | fully fund that portion of the
employer's portion of the normal | 17 | | costs of the System, as calculated in

| 1 | | Sec. 16-158. Contributions by State and other employing | 2 | | units.
| 3 | | (a) The State shall make contributions to the System by | 4 | | means of
appropriations from the Common School Fund and other | 5 | | State funds of amounts
which, together with other employer | 6 | | contributions, employee contributions,
investment income, and | 7 | | other income, will be sufficient to meet the cost of
| 8 | | maintaining and administering the System on a 90% funded basis | 9 | | in accordance
with actuarial recommendations.
| 10 | | The Board shall determine the amount of State contributions | 11 | | required for
each fiscal year on the basis of the actuarial | 12 | | tables and other assumptions

State fiscal year 2005, taking | 23 | | into account the amounts appropriated to and
received by the | 24 | | System under subsection (d) of Section 7.2 of the General

| 6 | | On or before June 15, 2010, the Board shall recalculate and | 7 | | recertify to the Governor the amount of the required State | 8 | | contribution to the System for State fiscal year 2011, applying | 9 | | the changes made by Public Act 96-889 to the System's assets | 10 | | and liabilities as of June 30, 2009 as though Public Act 96-889 | 11 | | was approved on that date. | 12 | | (b) Through State fiscal year 1995, the State contributions | 13 | | shall be
paid to the System in accordance with Section 18-7 of | 14 | | the School Code.
| 15 | | (b-1) Beginning in State fiscal year 1996, on the 15th day | 16 | | of each month,
or as soon thereafter as may be practicable, the | 17 | | Board shall submit vouchers
for payment of State contributions | 18 | | to the System, in a total monthly amount of
one-twelfth of the | 19 | | required annual State contribution certified under
subsection | 20 | | (a-1).
From the
effective date of this amendatory Act of the | 21 | | 93rd General Assembly
through June 30, 2004, the Board shall | 22 | | not submit vouchers for the
remainder of fiscal year 2004 in | 23 | | excess of the fiscal year 2004
certified contribution amount | 24 | | determined under this Section
after taking into consideration | 25 | | the transfer to the System
under subsection (a) of Section | 26 | | 6z-61 of the State Finance Act.
These vouchers shall be paid by |

|
| 1 | | the State Comptroller and
Treasurer by warrants drawn on the | 2 | | funds appropriated to the System for that
fiscal year.
| 3 | | If in any month the amount remaining unexpended from all | 4 | | other appropriations
to the System for the applicable fiscal | 5 | | year (including the appropriations to
the System under Section | 6 | | 8.12 of the State Finance Act and Section 1 of the
State | 7 | | Pension Funds Continuing Appropriation Act) is less than the | 8 | | amount
lawfully vouchered under this subsection, the | 9 | | difference shall be paid from the
Common School Fund under the | 10 | | continuing appropriation authority provided in
Section 1.1 of | 11 | | the State Pension Funds Continuing Appropriation Act.
| 12 | | (b-2) Allocations from the Common School Fund apportioned | 13 | | to school
districts not coming under this System shall not be | 14 | | diminished or affected by
the provisions of this Article.
| 15 | | (b-3) For State fiscal years 2012 through 2045, the minimum | 16 | | contribution
to the System to be made by the State for each | 17 | | fiscal year shall be an amount
determined by the System to be | 18 | | sufficient to bring the total assets of the
System up to 90% of | 19 | | the total actuarial liabilities of the System by the end of
| 20 | | State fiscal year 2045. In making these determinations, the | 21 | | required State
contribution shall be calculated each year as a | 22 | | level percentage of payroll
over the years remaining to and | 23 | | including fiscal year 2045 and shall be
determined under the | 24 | | projected unit credit actuarial cost method.
| 25 | | For State fiscal years 1996 through 2005, the State | 26 | | contribution to the
System, as a percentage of the applicable |
| | | 09600SB1858ham002 | - 38 - | LRB096 06188 JDS 44862 a |
|
| 1 | | employee payroll, shall be increased
in equal annual increments | 2 | | so that by State fiscal year 2011, the State is
contributing at | 3 | | the rate required under this Section; except that in the
| 4 | | following specified State fiscal years, the State contribution | 5 | | to the System
shall not be less than the following indicated | 6 | | percentages of the applicable
employee payroll, even if the | 7 | | indicated percentage will produce a State
contribution in | 8 | | excess of the amount otherwise required under this subsection
| 9 | | and subsection (a), and notwithstanding any contrary | 10 | | certification made under
subsection (a-1) before the effective | 11 | | date of this amendatory Act of 1998:
10.02% in FY 1999;
10.77% | 12 | | in FY 2000;
11.47% in FY 2001;
12.16% in FY 2002;
12.86% in FY | 13 | | 2003; and
13.56% in FY 2004.
| 14 | | Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article, the | 15 | | total required State
contribution for State fiscal year 2006 is | 16 | | $534,627,700.
| 17 | | Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article, the | 18 | | total required State
contribution for State fiscal year 2007 is | 19 | | $738,014,500.
| 20 | | For each of State fiscal years 2008 through 2009, the State | 21 | | contribution to
the System, as a percentage of the applicable | 22 | | employee payroll, shall be
increased in equal annual increments | 23 | | from the required State contribution for State fiscal year | 24 | | 2007, so that by State fiscal year 2011, the
State is | 25 | | contributing at the rate otherwise required under this Section.
| 26 | | Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article, the |
| | | 09600SB1858ham002 | - 39 - | LRB096 06188 JDS 44862 a |
|
| 1 | | total required State contribution for State fiscal year 2010 is | 2 | | $2,089,268,000 and shall be made from the proceeds of bonds | 3 | | sold in fiscal year 2010 pursuant to Section 7.2 of the General | 4 | | Obligation Bond Act, less (i) the pro rata share of bond sale | 5 | | expenses determined by the System's share of total bond | 6 | | proceeds, (ii) any amounts received from the Common School Fund | 7 | | in fiscal year 2010, and (iii) any reduction in bond proceeds | 8 | | due to the issuance of discounted bonds, if applicable. | 9 | | Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article, the
| 10 | | total required State contribution for State fiscal year 2011 is
| 11 | | the amount recertified by the System on or before April 1, 2011 | 12 | | June 15, 2010 pursuant to subsection (a-1) of this Section and | 13 | | shall be made from the proceeds of bonds
sold in fiscal year | 14 | | 2011 pursuant to Section 7.2 of the General
Obligation Bond | 15 | | Act, less (i) the pro rata share of bond sale
expenses | 16 | | determined by the System's share of total bond
proceeds, (ii) | 17 | | any amounts received from the Common School Fund
in fiscal year | 18 | | 2011, and (iii) any reduction in bond proceeds
due to the | 19 | | issuance of discounted bonds, if applicable. This amount shall | 20 | | include, in addition to the amount certified by the System, an | 21 | | amount necessary to meet employer contributions required by the | 22 | | State as an employer under paragraph (e) of this Section, which | 23 | | may also be used by the System for contributions required by | 24 | | paragraph (a) of Section 16-127. | 25 | | Beginning in State fiscal year 2046, the minimum State | 26 | | contribution for
each fiscal year shall be the amount needed to |
| | | 09600SB1858ham002 | - 40 - | LRB096 06188 JDS 44862 a |
|
| 1 | | maintain the total assets of
the System at 90% of the total | 2 | | actuarial liabilities of the System.
| 3 | | Amounts received by the System pursuant to Section 25 of | 4 | | the Budget Stabilization Act or Section 8.12 of the State | 5 | | Finance Act in any fiscal year do not reduce and do not | 6 | | constitute payment of any portion of the minimum State | 7 | | contribution required under this Article in that fiscal year. | 8 | | Such amounts shall not reduce, and shall not be included in the | 9 | | calculation of, the required State contributions under this | 10 | | Article in any future year until the System has reached a | 11 | | funding ratio of at least 90%. A reference in this Article to | 12 | | the "required State contribution" or any substantially similar | 13 | | term does not include or apply to any amounts payable to the | 14 | | System under Section 25 of the Budget Stabilization Act. | 15 | | Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, the | 16 | | required State
contribution for State fiscal year 2005 and for | 17 | | fiscal year 2008 and each fiscal year thereafter, as
calculated | 18 | | under this Section and
certified under subsection (a-1), shall | 19 | | not exceed an amount equal to (i) the
amount of the required | 20 | | State contribution that would have been calculated under
this | 21 | | Section for that fiscal year if the System had not received any | 22 | | payments
under subsection (d) of Section 7.2 of the General | 23 | | Obligation Bond Act, minus
(ii) the portion of the State's | 24 | | total debt service payments for that fiscal
year on the bonds | 25 | | issued for the purposes of that Section 7.2, as determined
and | 26 | | certified by the Comptroller, that is the same as the System's |
| | | 09600SB1858ham002 | - 41 - | LRB096 06188 JDS 44862 a |
|
| 1 | | portion of
the total moneys distributed under subsection (d) of | 2 | | Section 7.2 of the General
Obligation Bond Act. In determining | 3 | | this maximum for State fiscal years 2008 through 2010, however, | 4 | | the amount referred to in item (i) shall be increased, as a | 5 | | percentage of the applicable employee payroll, in equal | 6 | | increments calculated from the sum of the required State | 7 | | contribution for State fiscal year 2007 plus the applicable | 8 | | portion of the State's total debt service payments for fiscal | 9 | | year 2007 on the bonds issued for the purposes of Section 7.2 | 10 | | of the General
Obligation Bond Act, so that, by State fiscal | 11 | | year 2011, the
State is contributing at the rate otherwise | 12 | | required under this Section.
| 13 | | (c) Payment of the required State contributions and of all | 14 | | pensions,
retirement annuities, death benefits, refunds, and | 15 | | other benefits granted
under or assumed by this System, and all | 16 | | expenses in connection with the
administration and operation | 17 | | thereof, are obligations of the State.
| 18 | | If members are paid from special trust or federal funds | 19 | | which are
administered by the employing unit, whether school | 20 | | district or other
unit, the employing unit shall pay to the | 21 | | System from such
funds the full accruing retirement costs based | 22 | | upon that
service, as determined by the System. Employer | 23 | | contributions, based on
salary paid to members from federal | 24 | | funds, may be forwarded by the distributing
agency of the State | 25 | | of Illinois to the System prior to allocation, in an
amount | 26 | | determined in accordance with guidelines established by such
|
| | | 09600SB1858ham002 | - 42 - | LRB096 06188 JDS 44862 a |
|
| 1 | | agency and the System.
| 2 | | (d) Effective July 1, 1986, any employer of a teacher as | 3 | | defined in
paragraph (8) of Section 16-106 shall pay the | 4 | | employer's normal cost
of benefits based upon the teacher's | 5 | | service, in addition to
employee contributions, as determined | 6 | | by the System. Such employer
contributions shall be forwarded | 7 | | monthly in accordance with guidelines
established by the | 8 | | System.
| 9 | | However, with respect to benefits granted under Section | 10 | | 16-133.4 or
16-133.5 to a teacher as defined in paragraph (8) | 11 | | of Section 16-106, the
employer's contribution shall be 12% | 12 | | (rather than 20%) of the member's
highest annual salary rate | 13 | | for each year of creditable service granted, and
the employer | 14 | | shall also pay the required employee contribution on behalf of
| 15 | | the teacher. For the purposes of Sections 16-133.4 and | 16 | | 16-133.5, a teacher
as defined in paragraph (8) of Section | 17 | | 16-106 who is serving in that capacity
while on leave of | 18 | | absence from another employer under this Article shall not
be | 19 | | considered an employee of the employer from which the teacher | 20 | | is on leave.
| 21 | | (e) Beginning July 1, 1998, every employer of a teacher
| 22 | | shall pay to the System an employer contribution computed as | 23 | | follows:
| 24 | | (1) Beginning July 1, 1998 through June 30, 1999, the | 25 | | employer
contribution shall be equal to 0.3% of each | 26 | | teacher's salary.
|
| | | 09600SB1858ham002 | - 43 - | LRB096 06188 JDS 44862 a |
|
| 1 | | (2) Beginning July 1, 1999 and thereafter, the employer
| 2 | | contribution shall be equal to 0.58% of each teacher's | 3 | | salary.
| 4 | | The school district or other employing unit may pay these | 5 | | employer
contributions out of any source of funding available | 6 | | for that purpose and
shall forward the contributions to the | 7 | | System on the schedule established
for the payment of member | 8 | | contributions.
| 9 | | These employer contributions are intended to offset a | 10 | | portion of the cost
to the System of the increases in | 11 | | retirement benefits resulting from this
amendatory Act of 1998.
| 12 | | Each employer of teachers is entitled to a credit against | 13 | | the contributions
required under this subsection (e) with | 14 | | respect to salaries paid to teachers
for the period January 1, | 15 | | 2002 through June 30, 2003, equal to the amount paid
by that | 16 | | employer under subsection (a-5) of Section 6.6 of the State | 17 | | Employees
Group Insurance Act of 1971 with respect to salaries | 18 | | paid to teachers for that
period.
| 19 | | The additional 1% employee contribution required under | 20 | | Section 16-152 by
this amendatory Act of 1998 is the | 21 | | responsibility of the teacher and not the
teacher's employer, | 22 | | unless the employer agrees, through collective bargaining
or | 23 | | otherwise, to make the contribution on behalf of the teacher.
| 24 | | If an employer is required by a contract in effect on May | 25 | | 1, 1998 between the
employer and an employee organization to | 26 | | pay, on behalf of all its full-time
employees
covered by this |
| | | 09600SB1858ham002 | - 44 - | LRB096 06188 JDS 44862 a |
|
| 1 | | Article, all mandatory employee contributions required under
| 2 | | this Article, then the employer shall be excused from paying | 3 | | the employer
contribution required under this subsection (e) | 4 | | for the balance of the term
of that contract. The employer and | 5 | | the employee organization shall jointly
certify to the System | 6 | | the existence of the contractual requirement, in such
form as | 7 | | the System may prescribe. This exclusion shall cease upon the

| 10 | | (f) If the amount of a teacher's salary for any school year | 11 | | used to determine final average salary exceeds the member's | 12 | | annual full-time salary rate with the same employer for the | 13 | | previous school year by more than 6%, the teacher's employer | 14 | | shall pay to the System, in addition to all other payments | 15 | | required under this Section and in accordance with guidelines | 16 | | established by the System, the present value of the increase in | 17 | | benefits resulting from the portion of the increase in salary | 18 | | that is in excess of 6%. This present value shall be computed | 19 | | by the System on the basis of the actuarial assumptions and | 20 | | tables used in the most recent actuarial valuation of the | 21 | | System that is available at the time of the computation. If a | 22 | | teacher's salary for the 2005-2006 school year is used to | 23 | | determine final average salary under this subsection (f), then | 24 | | the changes made to this subsection (f) by Public Act 94-1057 | 25 | | shall apply in calculating whether the increase in his or her | 26 | | salary is in excess of 6%. For the purposes of this Section, |

|
| 1 | | change in employment under Section 10-21.12 of the School Code | 2 | | on or after June 1, 2005 shall constitute a change in employer. | 3 | | The System may require the employer to provide any pertinent | 4 | | information or documentation.
The changes made to this | 5 | | subsection (f) by this amendatory Act of the 94th General | 6 | | Assembly apply without regard to whether the teacher was in | 7 | | service on or after its effective date.
| 8 | | Whenever it determines that a payment is or may be required | 9 | | under this subsection, the System shall calculate the amount of | 10 | | the payment and bill the employer for that amount. The bill | 11 | | shall specify the calculations used to determine the amount | 12 | | due. If the employer disputes the amount of the bill, it may, | 13 | | within 30 days after receipt of the bill, apply to the System | 14 | | in writing for a recalculation. The application must specify in | 15 | | detail the grounds of the dispute and, if the employer asserts | 16 | | that the calculation is subject to subsection (g) or (h) of | 17 | | this Section, must include an affidavit setting forth and | 18 | | attesting to all facts within the employer's knowledge that are | 19 | | pertinent to the applicability of that subsection. Upon | 20 | | receiving a timely application for recalculation, the System | 21 | | shall review the application and, if appropriate, recalculate | 22 | | the amount due.
| 23 | | The employer contributions required under this subsection | 24 | | (f) may be paid in the form of a lump sum within 90 days after | 25 | | receipt of the bill. If the employer contributions are not paid | 26 | | within 90 days after receipt of the bill, then interest will be |
| | | 09600SB1858ham002 | - 46 - | LRB096 06188 JDS 44862 a |
|
| 1 | | charged at a rate equal to the System's annual actuarially | 2 | | assumed rate of return on investment compounded annually from | 3 | | the 91st day after receipt of the bill. Payments must be | 4 | | concluded within 3 years after the employer's receipt of the | 5 | | bill.
| 6 | | (g) This subsection (g) applies only to payments made or | 7 | | salary increases given on or after June 1, 2005 but before July | 8 | | 1, 2011. The changes made by Public Act 94-1057 shall not | 9 | | require the System to refund any payments received before
July | 10 | | 31, 2006 (the effective date of Public Act 94-1057). | 11 | | When assessing payment for any amount due under subsection | 12 | | (f), the System shall exclude salary increases paid to teachers | 13 | | under contracts or collective bargaining agreements entered | 14 | | into, amended, or renewed before June 1, 2005.
| 15 | | When assessing payment for any amount due under subsection | 16 | | (f), the System shall exclude salary increases paid to a | 17 | | teacher at a time when the teacher is 10 or more years from | 18 | | retirement eligibility under Section 16-132 or 16-133.2.
| 19 | | When assessing payment for any amount due under subsection | 20 | | (f), the System shall exclude salary increases resulting from | 21 | | overload work, including summer school, when the school | 22 | | district has certified to the System, and the System has | 23 | | approved the certification, that (i) the overload work is for | 24 | | the sole purpose of classroom instruction in excess of the | 25 | | standard number of classes for a full-time teacher in a school | 26 | | district during a school year and (ii) the salary increases are |
| | | 09600SB1858ham002 | - 47 - | LRB096 06188 JDS 44862 a |
|
| 1 | | equal to or less than the rate of pay for classroom instruction | 2 | | computed on the teacher's current salary and work schedule.
| 3 | | When assessing payment for any amount due under subsection | 4 | | (f), the System shall exclude a salary increase resulting from | 5 | | a promotion (i) for which the employee is required to hold a | 6 | | certificate or supervisory endorsement issued by the State | 7 | | Teacher Certification Board that is a different certification | 8 | | or supervisory endorsement than is required for the teacher's | 9 | | previous position and (ii) to a position that has existed and | 10 | | been filled by a member for no less than one complete academic | 11 | | year and the salary increase from the promotion is an increase | 12 | | that results in an amount no greater than the lesser of the | 13 | | average salary paid for other similar positions in the district | 14 | | requiring the same certification or the amount stipulated in | 15 | | the collective bargaining agreement for a similar position | 16 | | requiring the same certification.
| 17 | | When assessing payment for any amount due under subsection | 18 | | (f), the System shall exclude any payment to the teacher from | 19 | | the State of Illinois or the State Board of Education over | 20 | | which the employer does not have discretion, notwithstanding | 21 | | that the payment is included in the computation of final | 22 | | average salary.
| 23 | | (h) When assessing payment for any amount due under | 24 | | subsection (f), the System shall exclude any salary increase | 25 | | described in subsection (g) of this Section given on or after | 26 | | July 1, 2011 but before July 1, 2014 under a contract or |
| | | 09600SB1858ham002 | - 48 - | LRB096 06188 JDS 44862 a |
|
| 1 | | collective bargaining agreement entered into, amended, or | 2 | | renewed on or after June 1, 2005 but before July 1, 2011. | 3 | | Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, any | 4 | | payments made or salary increases given after June 30, 2014 | 5 | | shall be used in assessing payment for any amount due under | 6 | | subsection (f) of this Section.
| 7 | | (i) The System shall prepare a report and file copies of | 8 | | the report with the Governor and the General Assembly by | 9 | | January 1, 2007 that contains all of the following information: | 10 | | (1) The number of recalculations required by the | 11 | | changes made to this Section by Public Act 94-1057 for each | 12 | | employer. | 13 | | (2) The dollar amount by which each employer's | 14 | | contribution to the System was changed due to | 15 | | recalculations required by Public Act 94-1057. | 16 | | (3) The total amount the System received from each | 17 | | employer as a result of the changes made to this Section by | 18 | | Public Act 94-4. | 19 | | (4) The increase in the required State contribution | 20 | | resulting from the changes made to this Section by Public | 21 | | Act 94-1057.
| 22 | | (j) For purposes of determining the required State | 23 | | contribution to the System, the value of the System's assets | 24 | | shall be equal to the actuarial value of the System's assets, | 25 | | which shall be calculated as follows: | 26 | | As of June 30, 2008, the actuarial value of the System's |
| | | 09600SB1858ham002 | - 49 - | LRB096 06188 JDS 44862 a |
|
| 1 | | assets shall be equal to the market value of the assets as of | 2 | | that date. In determining the actuarial value of the System's | 3 | | assets for fiscal years after June 30, 2008, any actuarial | 4 | | gains or losses from investment return incurred in a fiscal | 5 | | year shall be recognized in equal annual amounts over the | 6 | | 5-year period following that fiscal year. | 7 | | (k) For purposes of determining the required State | 8 | | contribution to the system for a particular year, the actuarial | 9 | | value of assets shall be assumed to earn a rate of return equal | 10 | | to the system's actuarially assumed rate of return. | 11 | | (Source: P.A. 95-331, eff. 8-21-07; 95-950, eff. 8-29-08; | 12 | | 96-43, eff. 7-15-09; 09600SB3514ham003.)

appropriations of the amounts which, together with | 17 | | the contributions of
participants, net earnings on | 18 | | investments, and other income, will meet the
costs of | 19 | | maintaining and administering this System on a 90% funded basis | 20 | | in
accordance with actuarial recommendations.
| 21 | | (b) The Board shall determine the amount of State | 22 | | contributions
required for each fiscal year on the basis of the | 23 | | actuarial tables and other
assumptions adopted by the Board and | 24 | | the prescribed rate of interest, using
the formula in | 25 | | subsection (c).

to the System to be made by the State for each | 3 | | fiscal year shall be an amount
determined by the System to be | 4 | | sufficient to bring the total assets of the
System up to 90% of | 5 | | the total actuarial liabilities of the System by the end of
| 6 | | State fiscal year 2045. In making these determinations, the | 7 | | required State
contribution shall be calculated each year as a | 8 | | level percentage of payroll
over the years remaining to and | 9 | | including fiscal year 2045 and shall be
determined under the | 10 | | projected unit credit actuarial cost method.
| 11 | | For State fiscal years 1996 through 2005, the State | 12 | | contribution to
the System, as a percentage of the applicable | 13 | | employee payroll, shall be
increased in equal annual increments | 14 | | so that by State fiscal year 2011, the
State is contributing at | 15 | | the rate required under this Section.

| 22 | | For each of State fiscal years 2008 through 2009, the State | 23 | | contribution to
the System, as a percentage of the applicable | 24 | | employee payroll, shall be
increased in equal annual increments | 25 | | from the required State contribution for State fiscal year | 26 | | 2007, so that by State fiscal year 2011, the
State is |

Fund in fiscal year 2011, and (iii) any | 21 | | reduction in bond
proceeds due to the issuance of discounted | 22 | | bonds, if
applicable. | 23 | | Beginning in State fiscal year 2046, the minimum State | 24 | | contribution for

Obligation Bond Act, so that, by State fiscal | 9 | | year 2011, the
State is contributing at the rate otherwise | 10 | | required under this Section.

In determining the actuarial value of the System's | 18 | | assets for fiscal years after June 30, 2008, any actuarial | 19 | | gains or losses from investment return incurred in a fiscal | 20 | | year shall be recognized in equal annual amounts over the | 21 | | 5-year period following that fiscal year. | 22 | | (e) For purposes of determining the required State | 23 | | contribution to the system for a particular year, the actuarial | 24 | | value of assets shall be assumed to earn a rate of return equal | 25 | | to the system's actuarially assumed rate of return. | 26 | | (Source: P.A. 95-950, eff. 8-29-08; 96-43, eff. 7-15-09; |
