| this Section;
| 2 |
| (6) by the date of termination of service, have at | 3 |
| least 5 years
of membership service earned while an | 4 |
| employee under this Article, which may
include military | 5 |
| service for which credit is established under Section
| 6 |
| 14-105(b), service during the qualifying period for which | 7 |
| credit is
established under Section 14-104(a), and service | 8 |
| for which credit has been
established by repaying a refund | 9 |
| under Section 14-130, but shall not include
service for | 10 |
| which any other optional service credit has been | 11 |
| established; and
| 12 |
| (7) not receive any early retirement benefit under | 13 |
| Section 16-133.3 of
this Code.
| 14 |
| (b)
An eligible person may establish up to 5 years of | 15 |
| creditable service
under this Article, in increments of one | 16 |
| month, by making the contributions
specified in subsection (c). | 17 |
| In addition, for each month of creditable
service established | 18 |
| under this Section, a person's age at retirement shall
be | 19 |
| deemed to be one month older than it actually is.
| 20 |
| The creditable service established under this Section may | 21 |
| be used for
all purposes under this Article and the Retirement | 22 |
| Systems Reciprocal Act,
except for the computation of final | 23 |
| average compensation under Section
14-103.12 or the | 24 |
| determination of compensation under this or any other
Article | 25 |
| of this Code.
| 26 |
| The age enhancement established under this Section may not | 27 |
| be used to
enable any person to begin receiving a retirement | 28 |
| annuity calculated under
Section 14-110 before actually | 29 |
| attaining age 50 (without any age enhancement
under this | 30 |
| Section). The age enhancement established under this Section | 31 |
| may
be used for all other purposes under this Article | 32 |
| (including calculation of
a proportionate annuity payable by | 33 |
| this System under the Retirement Systems
Reciprocal Act), | 34 |
| except for purposes of the level income option in Section
| 35 |

| The age enhancement established under this Section may be | 2 |
| used in
determining benefits payable under Article 16 of this | 3 |
| Code under the
Retirement Systems Reciprocal Act, if the person | 4 |
| has at least 5 years of
service credit in the Article 16 system | 5 |
| that was earned while participating
in that system as a teacher | 6 |
| (as defined in Section 16-106) employed by a
department (as | 7 |
| defined in Section 14-103.04).
Age enhancement established | 8 |
| under this Section shall not otherwise be used
in determining | 9 |
| benefits payable under other Articles of this Code under the
| 10 |
| Retirement Systems Reciprocal Act.
| 11 |
| (c) For all creditable service established under this | 12 |
| Section, a person
must pay to the System an employee | 13 |
| contribution to be determined by the
System, based on the | 14 |
| member's rate of compensation on June 1, 2002 (or
the last date | 15 |
| before June 1, 2002 for which a rate can be determined) and
the | 16 |
| retirement contribution rate in effect on June 1, 2002 for the | 17 |
| member
(or for members with the same social security and | 18 |
| alternative formula status
as the member).
| 19 |
| If the member receives a lump sum payment for accumulated | 20 |
| vacation, sick
leave and personal leave upon withdrawal from | 21 |
| service, and the net amount of
that lump sum payment is at | 22 |
| least as great as the amount of the contribution
required under | 23 |
| this Section, the entire contribution must be paid by the
| 24 |
| employee by payroll deduction. If there is no such lump sum | 25 |
| payment, or if
it is less than the contribution required under | 26 |
| this Section, the member shall
make an initial payment by | 27 |
| payroll deduction, equal to the net amount of the
lump sum | 28 |
| payment for accumulated vacation, sick leave, and personal | 29 |
| leave,
and have the remaining amount due treated as a reduction | 30 |
| from the retirement
annuity in 24 equal monthly installments | 31 |
| beginning in the month in which the
retirement annuity takes | 32 |
| effect. The required contribution may be paid as a
pre-tax | 33 |
| deduction from earnings. For federal and Illinois tax purposes, | 34 |
| the
monthly amount by which the annuitant's benefit is reduced | 35 |
| shall not be
treated as a contribution by the annuitant, but | 36 |
| rather as a reduction of the
annuitant's monthly benefit.

| (c-5) The reduction in retirement annuity provided in | 2 |
| subsection (c) of
Section 14-108 does not apply to the annuity | 3 |
| of a person who retires under this
Section. A person who has | 4 |
| received any age enhancement or creditable service
under this | 5 |
| Section may begin to receive an unreduced retirement annuity | 6 |
| upon
attainment of age 55 with at least 25 years of creditable | 7 |
| service (including
any age enhancement and creditable service | 8 |
| established under this Section).
| 9 |
| (d) In order to ensure that the efficient operation of | 10 |
| State government
is not jeopardized by the simultaneous | 11 |
| retirement of large numbers of key
personnel, the director or | 12 |
| other head of a department may, for key employees
of that | 13 |
| department, extend the December 31, 2002 deadline for | 14 |
| terminating
employment under this Article established in | 15 |
| subdivision (a)(4) of this
Section to a date not later than | 16 |
| April 30, 2003 by so notifying the System
in writing by | 17 |
| December 31, 2002.
| 18 |
| (e) Notwithstanding Section 14-111, a person who has | 19 |
| received any
age enhancement or creditable service under this | 20 |
| Section and who reenters
service under this Article (or as an | 21 |
| employee of a department under Article
16) other than as a | 22 |
| temporary employee thereby forfeits that age enhancement
and | 23 |
| creditable service and is entitled to a refund of the | 24 |
| contributions
made pursuant to this Section.
| 25 |
| (f) The System shall determine the amount of the increase | 26 |
| in the present value of future benefits resulting from the | 27 |
| granting of early retirement incentives
under this Section and | 28 |
| shall report that amount to the Governor and the Commission on | 29 |
| Government Forecasting and Accountability
on or after the | 30 |
| effective date of this amendatory Act of the 93rd General | 31 |
| Assembly and on or before November 15,
2004. Beginning with | 32 |
| State fiscal year 2008, the increase
reported under this | 33 |
| subsection (f) shall be included in the
calculation of the | 34 |
| required State contribution under Section 14-131.
| 35 |
| (g) In addition to the contributions otherwise required | 36 |
| under this Article,
the State shall appropriate and pay to the |

| (h) The Commission on Government Forecasting and | 4 |
| Accountability (i) shall hold one or more hearings on or before | 5 |
| the last session day during the fall veto session of 2004 to | 6 |
| review recommendations relating to funding of early retirement | 7 |
| incentives under this Section and (ii) shall file its report | 8 |
| with the General Assembly on or before December 31, 2004 making | 9 |
| its recommendations relating to funding of early retirement | 10 |
| incentives under this Section; the Commission's report may | 11 |
| contain both majority recommendations and minority | 12 |
| recommendations. The System shall recalculate and recertify to | 13 |
| the Governor by January 31, 2005 the amount of the required | 14 |
| State contribution to the System for State fiscal year 2005 | 15 |
| with respect to those incentives. The Pension Laws Commission | 16 |

Commission on Government Forecasting and | 17 |
| Accountability) shall determine
and report to the General
| 18 |
| Assembly, on or before January 1, 2004 and annually thereafter | 19 |

| amount of payroll savings likely to be
realized by the State as | 21 |
| a result of the early retirement of persons receiving
early | 22 |
| retirement incentives under this Section and (2) the net annual | 23 |
| savings
or cost to the State from the program of early | 24 |
| retirement incentives created
under this Section.
| 25 |
| The System, the Department of Central Management Services, | 26 |
| the
Governor's Office of Management and Budget (formerly
Bureau | 27 |

this Section. The Commission may | 30 |
| require departments to provide it with any
information that it | 31 |
| deems necessary or useful with respect to its reports under
| 32 |

| (1) the final
earnings of former department employees who | 34 |
| elected to receive benefits under
this Section, (2) the | 35 |

| Sec. 15-155. Employer contributions.

| (a) The State of Illinois shall make contributions by | 12 |
| appropriations of
amounts which, together with the other | 13 |
| employer contributions from trust,
federal, and other funds, | 14 |
| employee contributions, income from investments,
and other | 15 |
| income of this System, will be sufficient to meet the cost of
| 16 |
| maintaining and administering the System on a 90% funded basis | 17 |
| in accordance
with actuarial recommendations.
| 18 |
| The Board shall determine the amount of State contributions | 19 |
| required for
each fiscal year on the basis of the actuarial | 20 |
| tables and other assumptions
adopted by the Board and the | 21 |
| recommendations of the actuary, using the formula
in subsection | 22 |
| (a-1).
| 23 |
| (a-1) For State fiscal years 2011 through 2045, the minimum | 24 |
| contribution
to the System to be made by the State for each | 25 |
| fiscal year shall be an amount
determined by the System to be | 26 |
| sufficient to bring the total assets of the
System up to 90% of | 27 |
| the total actuarial liabilities of the System by the end of
| 28 |
| State fiscal year 2045. In making these determinations, the | 29 |
| required State
contribution shall be calculated each year as a | 30 |
| level percentage of payroll
over the years remaining to and | 31 |
| including fiscal year 2045 and shall be
determined under the | 32 |
| projected unit credit actuarial cost method.
| 33 |

| contribution to
the System, as a percentage of the applicable | 11 |
| employee payroll, shall be
increased in equal annual increments | 12 |
| from the required State contribution for State fiscal year | 13 |
| 2007, so that by State fiscal year 2011, the
State is | 14 |
| contributing at the rate otherwise required under this Section.
| 15 |
| Beginning in State fiscal year 2046, the minimum State | 16 |
| contribution for
each fiscal year shall be the amount needed to | 17 |
| maintain the total assets of
the System at 90% of the total | 18 |
| actuarial liabilities of the System.
| 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 15-165, shall | 23 |
| not exceed an amount equal to (i) the
amount of the required | 24 |
| State contribution that would have been calculated under
this | 25 |
| Section for that fiscal year if the System had not received any | 26 |
| payments
under subsection (d) of Section 7.2 of the General | 27 |
| Obligation Bond Act, minus
(ii) the portion of the State's | 28 |
| total debt service payments for that fiscal
year on the bonds | 29 |

| certified by the Comptroller, that is the same as the System's | 31 |
| portion of
the total moneys distributed under subsection (d) of | 32 |
| Section 7.2 of the General
Obligation Bond Act. In determining | 33 |
| this maximum for State fiscal years 2008 through 2010, however, | 34 |
| the amount referred to in item (i) shall be increased, as a | 35 |
| percentage of the applicable employee payroll, in equal | 36 |
| increments calculated from the sum of the required State |

| employer
shall pay to the Board contributions from those funds | 9 |
| which are
sufficient to cover the accruing normal costs on | 10 |

However, universities having employees | 11 |
| who are compensated out of local
auxiliary funds, income funds, | 12 |
| or service enterprise funds are not required
to pay such | 13 |
| contributions on behalf of those employees. The local auxiliary
| 14 |
| funds, income funds, and service enterprise funds of | 15 |
| universities shall not be
considered trust funds for the | 16 |
| purpose of this Article, but funds of alumni
associations, | 17 |
| foundations, and athletic associations which are affiliated | 18 |
| with
the universities included as employers under this Article | 19 |

| each make
employer contributions to this System for their | 24 |

| of contributions to be made by those municipalities shall
be | 27 |
| determined annually by the Board on the basis of the actuarial | 28 |
| assumptions
adopted by the Board and the recommendations of the | 29 |
| actuary, and shall be
expressed as a percentage of salary for | 30 |
| each such employee. The Board shall
certify the rate to the | 31 |
| affected municipalities as soon as may be practical.
The | 32 |
| employer contributions required under this subsection shall be | 33 |
| remitted by
the municipality to the System at the same time and | 34 |
| in the same manner as
employee contributions.

| the System and shall be payable
through vouchers issued in | 13 |

| the basis of the actuarial assumptions and tables used in the | 3 |
| most recent actuarial valuation of the System that is available | 4 |
| at the time of the computation. The System may require the | 5 |
| employer to provide any pertinent information or | 6 |
| documentation. | 7 |
| Whenever it determines that a payment is or may be required | 8 |
| under this subsection (g), the System shall calculate the | 9 |
| amount of the payment and bill the employer for that amount. | 10 |
| The bill shall specify the calculations used to determine the | 11 |
| amount due. If the employer disputes the amount of the bill, it | 12 |
| may, within 30 days after receipt of the bill, apply to the | 13 |
| System in writing for a recalculation. The application must | 14 |
| specify in detail the grounds of the dispute and, if the | 15 |
| employer asserts that the calculation is subject to subsection | 16 |
| (h) or (i) of this Section, must include an affidavit setting | 17 |
| forth and attesting to all facts within the employer's | 18 |
| knowledge that are pertinent to the applicability of subsection | 19 |
| (h) or (i). Upon receiving a timely application for | 20 |
| recalculation, the System shall review the application and, if | 21 |

| 22 |
| The employer contributions required under this subsection | 23 |
| (f) may be paid in the form of a lump sum within 90 days after | 24 |
| receipt of the bill. If the employer contributions are not paid | 25 |
| within 90 days after receipt of the bill, then interest will be | 26 |
| charged at a rate equal to the System's annual actuarially | 27 |
| assumed rate of return on investment compounded annually from | 28 |
| the 91st day after receipt of the bill. Payments must be | 29 |
| concluded within 3 years after the employer's receipt of the | 30 |
| bill. | 31 |

as defined in paragraph (8) of Section | 14 |
| 16-106 who is serving in that capacity
while on leave of | 15 |
| absence from another employer under this Article shall not
be | 16 |

| employer
contribution shall be equal to 0.3% of each | 23 |
| teacher's salary.
| 24 |
| (2) Beginning July 1, 1999 and thereafter, the employer
| 25 |
| contribution shall be equal to 0.58% of each teacher's | 26 |
| salary.
| 27 |
| The school district or other employing unit may pay these | 28 |
| employer
contributions out of any source of funding available | 29 |
| for that purpose and
shall forward the contributions to the | 30 |
| System on the schedule established
for the payment of member | 31 |
| contributions.
| 32 |

| respect to salaries paid to teachers
for the period January 1, | 2 |
| 2002 through June 30, 2003, equal to the amount paid
by that | 3 |
| employer under subsection (a-5) of Section 6.6 of the State | 4 |
| Employees
Group Insurance Act of 1971 with respect to salaries | 5 |
| paid to teachers for that
period.

| The additional 1% employee contribution required under | 7 |
| Section 16-152 by
this amendatory Act of 1998 is the | 8 |
| responsibility of the teacher and not the
teacher's employer, | 9 |
| unless the employer agrees, through collective bargaining
or | 10 |
| otherwise, to make the contribution on behalf of the teacher.
| 11 |
| If an employer is required by a contract in effect on May | 12 |
| 1, 1998 between the
employer and an employee organization to | 13 |
| pay, on behalf of all its full-time
employees
covered by this | 14 |
| Article, all mandatory employee contributions required under
| 15 |
| this Article, then the employer shall be excused from paying | 16 |
| the employer
contribution required under this subsection (e) | 17 |
| for the balance of the term
of that contract. The employer and | 18 |
| the employee organization shall jointly
certify to the System | 19 |
| the existence of the contractual requirement, in such
form as | 20 |
| the System may prescribe. This exclusion shall cease upon the
| 21 |
| termination, extension, or renewal of the contract at any time | 22 |
| after May 1,
1998.
| 23 |
| (f) If the amount of a teacher's salary for any school year | 24 |
| used to determine final average salary exceeds the member's | 25 |
| annual full-time salary rate
amount of his or her salary with | 26 |
| the same employer for the previous school year by more than 6%, | 27 |
| the teacher's employer shall pay to the System, in addition to | 28 |
| all other payments required under this Section and in | 29 |
| accordance with guidelines established by the System, the | 30 |
| present value of the increase in benefits resulting from the | 31 |
| portion of the increase in salary that is in excess of 6%. This | 32 |
| present value shall be computed by the System on the basis of | 33 |
| the actuarial assumptions and tables used in the most recent | 34 |
| actuarial valuation of the System that is available at the time | 35 |
| of the computation. For the purposes of this Section, change in | 36 |
| employment under Section 10-21.12 of the School Code shall |

| employer to provide any pertinent information or | 3 |
| documentation.
| 4 |
| Whenever it determines that a payment is or may be required | 5 |
| under this subsection, the System shall calculate the amount of | 6 |
| the payment and bill the employer for that amount. The bill | 7 |
| shall specify the calculations used to determine the amount | 8 |
| due. If the employer disputes the amount of the bill, it may, | 9 |
| within 30 days after receipt of the bill, apply to the System | 10 |
| in writing for a recalculation. The application must specify in | 11 |
| detail the grounds of the dispute and, if the employer asserts | 12 |
| that the calculation is subject to subsection (g) or (h) of | 13 |
| this Section, must include an affidavit setting forth and | 14 |
| attesting to all facts within the employer's knowledge that are | 15 |
| pertinent to the applicability of that subsection. Upon | 16 |
| receiving a timely application for recalculation, the System | 17 |
| shall review the application and, if appropriate, recalculate | 18 |
| the amount due.
| 19 |
| The employer contributions required under this subsection | 20 |
| (f) may be paid in the form of a lump sum within 90 days after | 21 |
| receipt of the bill. If the employer contributions are not paid | 22 |
| within 90 days after receipt of the bill, then interest will be | 23 |
| charged at a rate equal to the System's annual actuarially | 24 |
| assumed rate of return on investment compounded annually from | 25 |
| the 91st day after receipt of the bill. Payments must be | 26 |
| concluded within 3 years after the employer's receipt of the | 27 |
| bill.
The employer contributions required under this | 28 |
| subsection (f) shall be paid in the form of a lump sum within | 29 |
| 30 days after receipt of the bill after the teacher begins | 30 |
| receiving benefits under this Article.
| 31 |
| (g) This subsection (g) applies only to payments made or | 32 |
| salary increases given on or after June 1, 2005 but before July | 33 |
| 1, 2011. The changes made by this amendatory Act of the 94th | 34 |
| General Assembly shall not require the System to refund any | 35 |
| payments received before the effective date of this amendatory | 36 |
| Act. |
