 2    Sections 5-156, 5-172, and  5-204  and  to  amend  the  State

 6        Section 5.  The  Illinois  Pension  Code  is  amended  by
 7    changing Sections 5-156, 5-172, and 5-204 as follows:
 8        (40 ILCS 5/5-156) (from Ch. 108 1/2, par. 5-156)
 9        Sec.  5-156.   Proof  of  duty  or  ordinary disability -
10    Physical examinations.  Proof of duty, occupational  disease,
11    or  ordinary disability shall be furnished to the board by at
12    least one licensed and practicing physician appointed by  the
13    board.  In cases where the board requests an applicant to get
14    a  second opinion, the applicant must select a physician from
15    a list of qualified licensed and  practicing  physicians  who
16    specialize  in  the  various  medical  areas  related to duty
17    injuries and illnesses, as established  by  the  board.   The
18    board  may  require other evidence of disability.  A disabled
19    policeman who  receives  a  duty,  occupational  disease,  or
20    ordinary disability benefit shall be examined at least once a
21    year  by one or more physicians appointed by the board.  When
22    the disability ceases, the board shall discontinue payment of
23    the benefit, and the policeman shall be  returned  to  active
24    service.

27        Sec.   5-172.   Contributions   by   city  for  duty  and
28    occupational disease  disability  benefits  and  supplemental
29    annuity.   In lieu of salary deductions for annuity purposes,
30    the city shall contribute the required amounts for any period
                            -2-                LRB9009023EGfg
 1    during which a policeman receives a duty  disability  benefit
 2    or    occupational    disease    disability   benefit.    The
 3    contributions shall be credited to the disabled policeman and
 4    shall be regarded for all purposes hereof  as  sums  deducted
 5    from his salary.
 6        The  city  shall  also  contribute all amounts ordinarily
 7    contributed by it for annuity purposes for the  policeman  as
 8    though  he were in active discharge of his duties during such
 9    disability.
10        To  provide  supplemental   annuity,   the   city   shall
11    contribute  such  equal  sums  annually, from the date of the
12    policeman's death, which if  improved  by  interest  will  be
13    sufficient,  when  payment of compensation annuity ceases, to
14    provide supplemental annuity to the widow for life.
