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 5/5-148

    (40 ILCS 5/5-148) (from Ch. 108 1/2, par. 5-148)
    Sec. 5-148. Maximum annuities. No annuity in excess of 75% of the highest salary considered for annuity purposes in accordance with this Article shall be payable to a policeman, or to the widow of a policeman whose death results from injury incurred in the performance of an act of duty. No amount of annuity in excess of $500 per month shall be payable to the widow of a policeman whose death results from any cause other than injury incurred in the performance of an act of duty, except as provided in Section 5-136.1.
    If, when a policeman's annuity is fixed, there is to his credit, for such annuity, an amount in excess of that necessary to provide an annuity of 75% of his highest salary, 7/24 of such excess shall be refunded if the policeman is a future entrant; and if he is a present employee, there shall be refunded, a part of such excess amount proportionately equal to that part of the entire amount to his credit for such annuity purposes, which the sum that has resulted from salary deductions bears to such entire amount.
    Until January 1, 1986, if, when a widow's annuity is fixed, there is to the policeman's credit, for widow's annuity, an amount in excess of that necessary to provide an annuity of $500 per month, 1/3 of such excess shall be refunded to the policeman if he is a future entrant; and, if he is a present employee, there shall be refunded a part of such excess amount proportionately equal to that part of the entire amount to his credit for such annuity purposes which the sum that has resulted from employee contributions bears to such entire amount. If the widow's annuity is fixed on or after January 1, 1986, no refund of excess contributions shall be made under this paragraph.
    Until January 1, 1986, if at the time of the death of a policeman resulting from injury incurred in the performance of an act of duty, there is to his credit, for widow's annuity, an amount in excess of that necessary to provide an annuity of 75% of his highest salary, or $500 per month if death results from any other cause, 1/3 of such excess shall be refunded to his widow if he was a future entrant; and, if he was a present employee, there shall be refunded to his widow a part of such excess amount proportionately equal to that part of the entire amount to his credit for such annuity purposes which the sum that has resulted from employee's contributions bears to such entire amount. If employee dies in service on or after January 1, 1986, no refund of excess contributions shall be made under this paragraph.
    This amendatory Act of 1972 does not increase the amount of any widow's annuity which is fixed before the effective date of this amendatory Act of 1972.
