 1                    AMENDMENT TO HOUSE BILL 2691

 2        AMENDMENT NO.     .  Amend House Bill 2691  by  replacing
 3    everything after the enacting clause with the following:

 4        "Section  5.   The  Illinois  Pension  Code is amended by
 5    adding Section 5-129.1 and changing Section 5-144 as follows:

 6        (40 ILCS 5/5-129.1 new)
 7        Sec. 5-129.1. Withdrawal at mandatory  retirement  age  -
 8    amount of annuity.
 9        (a)  In  lieu  of  any  annuity  provided  in  the  other
10    provisions  of  this  Article, a policeman who is required to
11    withdraw  from  service  due  to  attainment   of   mandatory
12    retirement  age  and has less than 20 years of service credit
13    may elect to receive an  annuity  equal  to  30%  of  average
14    salary  for  the first 10 years of service plus 2% of average
15    salary for each completed year of service or fraction thereof
16    in excess of 10, but not  to  exceed  a  maximum  of  48%  of
17    average salary.
18        (b)  For  the  purpose  of this Section, "average salary"
19    means the average of  the  highest  4  consecutive  years  of
20    salary  within  the last 10 years of service, or such shorter
21    period as may be  used  to  calculate  a  minimum  retirement
22    annuity under Section 5-132.
 
                            -2-              LRB9202367LDtmam
 1        (c)  For   the  purpose  of  qualifying  for  the  annual
 2    increases provided in  Section  5-167.1,  a  policeman  whose
 3    retirement  annuity is calculated under this Section shall be
 4    deemed to qualify for a minimum annuity.

 5        (40 ILCS 5/5-144) (from Ch. 108 1/2, par. 5-144)
 6        Sec. 5-144. Death from injury in the performance of  acts
 7    of duty; compensation annuity and supplemental annuity.
 8        (a)  Beginning  January  1,  1986,  and without regard to
 9    whether or not the annuity  in  question  began  before  that
10    date,  if  the  annuity  for  the  widow of a policeman whose
11    death, on or after  January  1,  1940,  results  from  injury
12    incurred in the performance of an act or acts of duty, is not
13    equal  to  the sum hereinafter stated, "compensation annuity"
14    equal to the difference between the  annuity  and  an  amount
15    equal  to  75%  of  the  policeman's  salary  attached to the
16    position he held by certification and appointment as a result
17    of  competitive  civil   service   examination   that   would
18    ordinarily  have been paid to him as though he were in active
19    discharge of his duties shall be payable to the  widow  until
20    the policeman, had he lived, would have attained age 63.  The
21    total  amount  of  the  widow's annuity and children's awards
22    payable to the family of such policeman shall not exceed  the
23    amounts stated in Section 5-152.
24        The  provisions of this Section, as amended by Public Act
25    84-1104, including the reference to the date upon  which  the
26    deceased policeman would have attained age 63, shall apply to
27    all  widows  of  policemen  whose  death  occurs  on or after
28    January 1, 1940 due to injury incurred in the performance  of
29    an  act  of  duty,  regardless of whether such death occurred
30    prior to September 17, 1969.  For those widows  of  policemen
31    that  died  prior  to September 17, 1969, who became eligible
32    for compensation annuity by the action of Public Act 84-1104,
33    such compensation annuity shall begin and be calculated  from
 
                            -3-              LRB9202367LDtmam
 1    January  1,  1986.   The provisions of this amendatory Act of
 2    1987 are intended to restate and clarify the intent of Public
 3    Act 84-1104, and do not make any substantive change.
 4        (b)  Upon  termination  of  the   compensation   annuity,
 5    "supplemental  annuity"  shall  become  payable to the widow,
 6    equal to the difference between the annuity for the widow and
 7    an amount equal to 75% 50% of the  annual  salary  (including
 8    all salary increases and longevity raises) that the policeman
 9    would  have  been  receiving  when  he attained age 63 if the
10    policeman had continued in service at the same rank  (whether
11    career  service  or  exempt)  that he last held in the police
12    department.  The increase in supplemental  annuity  resulting
13    from  this  amendatory  Act of the 92nd General Assembly 1995
14    applies without regard to whether the deceased policeman  was
15    in  service on or after the effective date of this amendatory
16    Act and is payable from January 1, 2002 1996 or the date upon
17    which the supplemental annuity begins, whichever is later.
18        (c)  Neither compensation nor supplemental annuity  shall
19    be paid unless the death of the policeman was a direct result
20    of  the  injury,  or  the  injury was of such character as to
21    prevent  him  from  subsequently  resuming   service   as   a
22    policeman;  nor shall compensation or supplemental annuity be
23    paid unless the widow was the wife of the policeman when  the
24    injury occurred.

26        Section  90.  The State Mandates Act is amended by adding
27    Section 8.26 as follows:

28        (30 ILCS 805/8.26 new)
29        Sec. 8.26. Exempt mandate.   Notwithstanding  Sections  6
30    and  8 of this Act, no reimbursement by the State is required
31    for  the  implementation  of  any  mandate  created  by  this
32    amendatory Act of the 92nd General Assembly.
