    AN ACT concerning military leave for State employees.

    Be it enacted by the People of  the  State  of  Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:

    Section  5.  The Military Leave of Absence Act is amended
by changing Section 1 as follows:

    (5 ILCS 325/1) (from Ch. 129, par. 501)
    Sec. 1. Leave of absence.
    (a)  Any full-time employee of  the  State  of  Illinois,
other  than an independent contractor, who is a member of any
reserve component of the United States Armed Forces or of any
reserve component of the Illinois  State  Militia,  shall  be
granted  leave  from State employment for any period actively
spent in such military service, including:
    (1)  basic training;
    (2)  special or advanced training, whether or not  within
the State, and whether or not voluntary; and
    (3)  annual training.
    During  such  leaves,  the employee's seniority and other
benefits shall continue to accrue.
    During leaves for annual  training,  the  employee  shall
continue  to  receive  his  regular  compensation  as a State
employee. During leaves for basic training and up to 60  days
of   special   or   advanced  training,  if  such  employee's
compensation  for  military  activities  is  less  than   his
compensation  as  a  State  employee,  he  shall  receive his
regular compensation as a State employee minus the amount  of
his base pay for military activities.
    (b)  Any  full-time  employee  of  the State of Illinois,
other than an independent contractor, who is a member of  the
Illinois  National Guard or a reserve component of the United
States Armed Forces or the Illinois State Militia and who  is
mobilized  to active duty shall continue during the period of
active duty to  receive  his  or  her  benefits  and  regular
compensation  as  a  State employee, minus an amount equal to
his or her military active duty base pay. The  Department  of
Central  Management  Services and the State Comptroller shall
coordinate  in  the  development  of   procedures   for   the
implementation of this Section.
