1 AN ACT in relation to public employee benefits.
2 Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
3 represented in the General Assembly:
4 Section 5. The Illinois Pension Code is amended by
5 changing Section 17-131 as follows:
6 (40 ILCS 5/17-131) (from Ch. 108 1/2, par. 17-131)
7 Sec. 17-131. Administration of payroll deductions.
8 During any period on or after July 1, 1999 in which salaries
9 are paid, payroll such deductions by an Employer or the Board
10 shall be made for all salary paid on the basis of the full
11 salary rates, exclusive of salaries for overtime, special
12 services or any employment on an optional basis, such as in
13 summer school. If salaries represent adjustments on account
14 of error, deductions by the Employer or the Board shall be at
15 the rates in force during the applicable payroll period. If
16 teachers receive salaries for the school year, as established
17 by an Employer, or if they receive salaries for more than 10
18 calendar months, the amount required for each year of service
19 shall be deducted by such Employer in installments. On or
20 after July 1, 1999, the total amounts for each semimonthly
21 payroll period, or bi-weekly payroll period, as the case may
22 be, shall be deducted for all salary paid only when salary
23 payments represent 5 days' pay or more. If, on or after July
24 1, 1999, an Employer or the Board pays salaries to members of
25 the teaching force for vacation periods, the salary shall be
26 considered part of the teacher's annual salary, shall be
27 subject to the standard deductions for pension contributions,
28 and shall be considered to represent additional service
29 credit for each day paid pay for 5 or more days' employment
30 in a bi-weekly or semi-monthly payroll period for purposes
31 set forth in this Section. If deductions from salaries

1 result in amounts of less than one cent, the fractional sums
2 shall be increased to the next higher cent. Any excess of
3 these fractional increases over the prescribed annual
4 contributions shall be credited to the teachers' accounts.
5 Any person who retires on or after July 1, 1999 and
6 before the effective date of this Act shall be paid a lump
7 sum equal to the amount of pension that he or she would have
8 received for that period if salary received for overtime,
9 summer school, and other optional service had been included
10 in the calculation of salary for pension purposes minus the
11 amount of pension he or she actually received for that
12 period.
13 In the event that, pursuant to Section 17-130.1, employee
14 contributions are picked up or made by the Board of Education
15 on behalf of its employees from the proceeds of the tax
16 levied under Section 34-60 of the School Code, then the
17 amount of the employee contributions which are picked up or
18 made in that manner shall not be deducted from the salaries
19 of such employees.

26 for the implementation of any mandate created by this
27 amendatory Act of the 92nd General Assembly.
28 Section 99. Effective date. This Act takes effect upon
29 becoming law.
