Information maintained by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

40 ILCS 5/15-125

    (40 ILCS 5/15-125) (from Ch. 108 1/2, par. 15-125)
    (Text of Section WITH the changes made by P.A. 98-599, which has been held unconstitutional)
    Sec. 15-125. "Prescribed Rate of Interest; Effective Rate of Interest".
    (1) "Prescribed rate of interest": The rate of interest to be used in actuarial valuations and in development of actuarial tables as determined by the board on the basis of the probable average rate of interest on a long term basis, based on factors including the expected investment experience; historical and expected fluctuations in the market value of investments; the desirability of minimizing volatility in the rate of investment earnings from year to year; and the provision of reserves for anticipated losses upon sales, redemptions, or other disposition of investments and for variations in interest experience.
    (2) "Effective rate of interest": For a fiscal year concluding no later than June 30, 2014, the interest rate for all or any part of a fiscal year that is determined by the board based on factors including the system's past and expected investment experience; historical and expected fluctuations in the market value of investments; the desirability of minimizing volatility in the effective rate of interest from year to year; and the provision of reserves for anticipated losses upon sales, redemptions, or other disposition of investments and for variations in interest experience; except that for the purpose of determining the accumulated normal contributions used in calculating retirement annuities under Rule 2 of Section 15-136, the effective rate of interest shall be determined by the State Comptroller rather than the board. For a fiscal year concluding no later than June 30, 2014, the State Comptroller shall determine the effective rate of interest to be used for this purpose using the factors listed above, and shall certify to the board and the Commission on Government Forecasting and Accountability the rate to be used for this purpose for fiscal year 2006 as soon as possible after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 94th General Assembly, and for each fiscal year thereafter no later than the January 31 immediately preceding the start of that fiscal year.
    For a fiscal year that begins on or after July 1, 2014, the effective rate of interest for a given fiscal year shall be equal to the interest rate of 30-year United States Treasury bonds as of the beginning of that given fiscal year, plus 75 basis points. This effective rate of interest shall not be used in determining the prescribed rate of interest as defined in paragraph (1) of this Section.
    (3) The change made to this Section by Public Acts 90-65 and 90-511 is a clarification of existing law.
