The changes to this |

| 1 | | The changes to this Section and Section 16-128 |
| 2 | | relating to military
service made by P.A. 87-794 shall |
| 3 | | apply not only to persons who on or after its
effective |

| 5 | | to
persons whose status as a teacher terminated prior to |
| 6 | | that date, whether or not
the person is an annuitant on |
| 7 | | that date. In the case of an annuitant who
applies for |
| 8 | | credit allowable under this Section for a period of |
| 9 | | military
service that did not immediately follow |
| 10 | | employment, and who has made the
required contributions |
| 11 | | for such credit, the annuity shall be recalculated to
|
| 12 | | include the additional service credit, with the increase |
| 13 | | taking effect on the
date the System received written |
| 14 | | notification of the annuitant's intent to
purchase the |
| 15 | | credit, if payment of all the required contributions is |
| 16 | | made
within 60 days of such notice, or else on the first |
| 17 | | annuity payment date
following the date of payment of the |
| 18 | | required contributions. In calculating
the automatic |
| 19 | | annual increase for an annuity that has been recalculated |
| 20 | | under
this Section, the increase attributable to the |
| 21 | | additional service allowable
under P.A. 87-794 shall be |
| 22 | | included in the calculation of automatic annual
increases |
| 23 | | accruing after the effective date of the recalculation.
|
| 24 | | Credit for military service shall be determined as |
| 25 | | follows: if entry
occurs during the months of July, |
| 26 | | August, or September and the member was a
teacher at the |
|
| | 10200SB1646ham002 | - 5 - | LRB102 15392 SMS 26215 a |

|
| 2 | | be granted from July 1 of the year in which he or she |
| 3 | | entered service; if
entry occurs during the school term |
| 4 | | and the teacher was in teaching service
at the beginning |
| 5 | | of the school term, credit shall be granted from July 1 of
|
| 6 | | such year. In all other cases where credit for military |
| 7 | | service is allowed,
credit shall be granted from the date |
| 8 | | of entry into the service.
|
| 9 | | The total period of military service for which credit |
| 10 | | is granted shall
not exceed 5 years for any member unless |
| 11 | | the service: (A) is validated
before July 1, 1964, and (B) |
| 12 | | does not extend beyond July 1, 1963. Credit
for military |
| 13 | | service shall be granted under this Section only if not |
| 14 | | more
than 5 years of the military service for which credit |
| 15 | | is granted under this
Section is used by the member to |
| 16 | | qualify for a military retirement
allotment from any |
| 17 | | branch of the armed forces of the United States. The
|
| 18 | | changes to this subdivision (b)(3) made by Public Act |
| 19 | | 86-272 shall apply
not only to persons who on or after its |
| 20 | | effective date (August 23, 1989)
are in service as a |
| 21 | | teacher under the System, but also to persons whose
status |
| 22 | | as such a teacher terminated prior to such effective date, |
| 23 | | whether
or not such person is an annuitant on that date.

|
| 1 | | Section
16-106, is granted a leave of absence, provided he |
| 2 | | or she returns to teaching
service creditable under this |
| 3 | | System or the State Universities Retirement
System |
| 4 | | following the leave; (ii) periods during which a teacher |
| 5 | | is
involuntarily laid off from teaching, provided he or |
| 6 | | she returns to teaching
following the lay-off; (iii) |
| 7 | | periods prior to July 1, 1983 during which
a teacher |
| 8 | | ceased covered employment due to pregnancy, provided that |
| 9 | | the teacher
returned to teaching service creditable under |
| 10 | | this System or the State
Universities Retirement System |
| 11 | | following the pregnancy and submits evidence
satisfactory |
| 12 | | to the Board documenting that the employment ceased due to
|
| 13 | | pregnancy; and (iv) periods prior to July 1, 1983 during |
| 14 | | which a teacher
ceased covered employment for the purpose |
| 15 | | of adopting an infant under 3 years
of age or caring for a |
| 16 | | newly adopted infant under 3 years of age, provided that
|
| 17 | | the teacher returned to teaching service creditable under |
| 18 | | this System or the
State Universities Retirement System |
| 19 | | following the adoption and submits
evidence satisfactory |
| 20 | | to the Board documenting that the employment ceased for
|
| 21 | | the purpose of adopting an infant under 3 years of age or |
| 22 | | caring for a newly
adopted infant under 3 years of age. |
| 23 | | However, total credit under this
paragraph (5) may not |
| 24 | | exceed 3 years.
|
| 25 | | Any qualified member or annuitant may apply for credit |
| 26 | | under item (iii)
or (iv) of this paragraph (5) without |

|
| 1 | | regard to whether service was
terminated before the |
| 2 | | effective date of this amendatory Act of 1997. In the case |
| 3 | | of an annuitant who establishes credit under item (iii)
or |
| 4 | | (iv), the annuity shall be recalculated to include the |
| 5 | | additional
service credit. The increase in annuity shall |
| 6 | | take effect on the date the
System receives written |
| 7 | | notification of the annuitant's intent to purchase the
|
| 8 | | credit, if the required evidence is submitted and the |
| 9 | | required contribution
paid within 60 days of that |
| 10 | | notification, otherwise on the first annuity
payment date |
| 11 | | following the System's receipt of the required evidence |
| 12 | | and
contribution. The increase in an annuity recalculated |
| 13 | | under this provision
shall be included in the calculation |
| 14 | | of automatic annual increases in the
annuity accruing |
| 15 | | after the effective date of the recalculation.
|
| 16 | | Optional credit may be purchased under this subsection |
| 17 | | (b)(5) for
periods during which a teacher has been granted |
| 18 | | a leave of absence pursuant
to Section 24-13 of the School |
| 19 | | Code. A teacher whose service under this
Article |
| 20 | | terminated prior to the effective date of P.A. 86-1488 |
| 21 | | shall be
eligible to purchase such optional credit. If a |
| 22 | | teacher who purchases this
optional credit is already |
| 23 | | receiving a retirement annuity under this Article,
the |
| 24 | | annuity shall be recalculated as if the annuitant had |
| 25 | | applied for the leave
of absence credit at the time of |
| 26 | | retirement. The difference between the
entitled annuity |
|
| | 10200SB1646ham002 | - 8 - | LRB102 15392 SMS 26215 a |
|
|

| 2 | | of
the optional credit. The remainder of the purchase cost |
| 3 | | of the optional credit
shall be paid on or before April 1, |

teachers who are in service on that |
| 8 | | date.
|
| 9 | | (6) Any days of unused and uncompensated accumulated |
| 10 | | sick leave earned
by a teacher. The service credit granted |
| 11 | | under this paragraph shall be the
ratio of the number of |
| 12 | | unused and uncompensated accumulated sick leave days
to |
| 13 | | 170 days, subject to a maximum of 2 years of service
|
| 14 | | credit. Prior to the member's retirement, each former |
| 15 | | employer shall
certify to the System the number of unused |
| 16 | | and uncompensated accumulated
sick leave days credited to |
| 17 | | the member at the time of termination of service.
The |
| 18 | | period of unused sick leave shall not be considered in |
| 19 | | determining
the effective date of retirement. A member is |
| 20 | | not required to make
contributions in order to obtain |
| 21 | | service credit for unused sick leave.
|
| 22 | | Credit for sick leave shall, at retirement, be granted |
| 23 | | by the System

These vouchers shall be paid by the |
| 6 | | State Comptroller and
Treasurer by warrants drawn on the funds |
| 7 | | appropriated to the System for that
fiscal year.
|
| 8 | | If in any month the amount remaining unexpended from all |
| 9 | | other appropriations
to the System for the applicable fiscal |
| 10 | | year (including the appropriations to
the System under Section |
| 11 | | 8.12 of the State Finance Act and Section 1 of the
State |
| 12 | | Pension Funds Continuing Appropriation Act) is less than the |
| 13 | | amount
lawfully vouchered under this subsection, the |
| 14 | | difference shall be paid from the
Common School Fund under the |
| 15 | | continuing appropriation authority provided in
Section 1.1 of |
| 16 | | the State Pension Funds Continuing Appropriation Act.
|
| 17 | | (b-2) Allocations from the Common School Fund apportioned |

| 21 | | minimum contribution
to the System to be made by the State for |
| 22 | | each fiscal year shall be an amount
determined by the System to |
| 23 | | be sufficient to bring the total assets of the
System up to 90% |
| 24 | | of the total actuarial liabilities of the System by the end of
|
| 25 | | State fiscal year 2045. In making these determinations, the |
| 26 | | required State
contribution shall be calculated each year as a |

|
|
|
| 1 | | level percentage of payroll
over the years remaining to and |
| 2 | | including fiscal year 2045 and shall be
determined under the |
| 3 | | projected unit credit actuarial cost method.
|
| 4 | | For each of State fiscal years 2018, 2019, and 2020, the |
| 5 | | State shall make an additional contribution to the System |
| 6 | | equal to 2% of the total payroll of each employee who is deemed |
| 7 | | to have elected the benefits under Section 1-161 or who has |
| 8 | | made the election under subsection (c) of Section 1-161. |
| 9 | | A change in an actuarial or investment assumption that |
| 10 | | increases or
decreases the required State contribution and |
| 11 | | first
applies in State fiscal year 2018 or thereafter shall be
|
| 12 | | implemented in equal annual amounts over a 5-year period
|
| 13 | | beginning in the State fiscal year in which the actuarial
|
| 14 | | change first applies to the required State contribution. |
| 15 | | A change in an actuarial or investment assumption that |
| 16 | | increases or
decreases the required State contribution and |
| 17 | | first
applied to the State contribution in fiscal year 2014, |
| 18 | | 2015, 2016, or 2017 shall be
implemented: |
| 19 | | (i) as already applied in State fiscal years before |
| 20 | | 2018; and |
| 21 | | (ii) in the portion of the 5-year period beginning in |
| 22 | | the State fiscal year in which the actuarial
change first |
| 23 | | applied that occurs in State fiscal year 2018 or |
| 24 | | thereafter, by calculating the change in equal annual |
| 25 | | amounts over that 5-year period and then implementing it |
| 26 | | at the resulting annual rate in each of the remaining |

| 2 | | For State fiscal years 1996 through 2005, the State |
| 3 | | contribution to the
System, as a percentage of the applicable |
| 4 | | employee payroll, shall be increased
in equal annual |
| 5 | | increments so that by State fiscal year 2011, the State is
|
| 6 | | contributing at the rate required under this Section; except |
| 7 | | that in the
following specified State fiscal years, the State |
| 8 | | contribution to the System
shall not be less than the |
| 9 | | following indicated percentages of the applicable
employee |
| 10 | | payroll, even if the indicated percentage will produce a State
|
| 11 | | contribution in excess of the amount otherwise required under |
| 12 | | this subsection
and subsection (a), and notwithstanding any |
| 13 | | contrary certification made under
subsection (a-1) before May |

11.47% in FY 2001;
12.16% in FY |

12.86% in FY 2003; and
13.56% in FY 2004.
|

|
| 23 | | For each of State fiscal years 2008 through 2009, the |

|
| 4 | | Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article, the |
| 5 | | total required State contribution for State fiscal year 2010 |
| 6 | | is $2,089,268,000 and shall be made from the proceeds of bonds |
| 7 | | sold in fiscal year 2010 pursuant to Section 7.2 of the General |
| 8 | | Obligation Bond Act, less (i) the pro rata share of bond sale |
| 9 | | expenses determined by the System's share of total bond |
| 10 | | proceeds, (ii) any amounts received from the Common School |
| 11 | | Fund in fiscal year 2010, and (iii) any reduction in bond |
| 12 | | proceeds due to the issuance of discounted bonds, if |
| 13 | | applicable. |
| 14 | | Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article, the
|
| 15 | | total required State contribution for State fiscal year 2011 |
| 16 | | is

| 22 | | received from the Common School Fund
in fiscal year 2011, and |
| 23 | | (iii) any reduction in bond proceeds
due to the issuance of |
| 24 | | discounted bonds, if applicable. This amount shall include, in |
| 25 | | addition to the amount certified by the System, an amount |
| 26 | | necessary to meet employer contributions required by the State |
|
| | 10200SB1646ham002 | - 19 - | LRB102 15392 SMS 26215 a |
|
|
|
| 1 | | as an employer under paragraph (e) of this Section, which may |
| 2 | | also be used by the System for contributions required by |
| 3 | | paragraph (a) of Section 16-127. |
| 4 | | Beginning in State fiscal year 2046, the minimum State |
| 5 | | contribution for
each fiscal year shall be the amount needed |
| 6 | | to maintain the total assets of
the System at 90% of the total |
| 7 | | actuarial liabilities of the System.
|
| 8 | | Amounts received by the System pursuant to Section 25 of |
| 9 | | the Budget Stabilization Act or Section 8.12 of the State |
| 10 | | Finance Act in any fiscal year do not reduce and do not |
| 11 | | constitute payment of any portion of the minimum State |
| 12 | | contribution required under this Article in that fiscal year. |
| 13 | | Such amounts shall not reduce, and shall not be included in the |
| 14 | | calculation of, the required State contributions under this |
| 15 | | Article in any future year until the System has reached a |
| 16 | | funding ratio of at least 90%. A reference in this Article to |
| 17 | | the "required State contribution" or any substantially similar |
| 18 | | term does not include or apply to any amounts payable to the |
| 19 | | System under Section 25 of the Budget Stabilization Act. |
| 20 | | Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, the |
| 21 | | required State
contribution for State fiscal year 2005 and for |
| 22 | | fiscal year 2008 and each fiscal year thereafter, as
|
| 23 | | calculated under this Section and
certified under subsection |
| 24 | | (a-1), shall not exceed an amount equal to (i) the
amount of |
| 25 | | the required State contribution that would have been |
| 26 | | calculated under
this Section for that fiscal year if the |
|
| | 10200SB1646ham002 | - 20 - | LRB102 15392 SMS 26215 a |
|
|
|
| 1 | | System had not received any payments
under subsection (d) of |
| 2 | | Section 7.2 of the General Obligation Bond Act, minus
(ii) the |
| 3 | | portion of the State's total debt service payments for that |
| 4 | | fiscal
year on the bonds issued in fiscal year 2003 for the |
| 5 | | purposes of that Section 7.2, as determined
and certified by |
| 6 | | the Comptroller, that is the same as the System's portion of
|
| 7 | | the total moneys distributed under subsection (d) of Section |
| 8 | | 7.2 of the General
Obligation Bond Act. In determining this |
| 9 | | maximum for State fiscal years 2008 through 2010, however, the |
| 10 | | amount referred to in item (i) shall be increased, as a |
| 11 | | percentage of the applicable employee payroll, in equal |
| 12 | | increments calculated from the sum of the required State |
| 13 | | contribution for State fiscal year 2007 plus the applicable |
| 14 | | portion of the State's total debt service payments for fiscal |
| 15 | | year 2007 on the bonds issued in fiscal year 2003 for the |
| 16 | | purposes of Section 7.2 of the General
Obligation Bond Act, so |
| 17 | | that, by State fiscal year 2011, the
State is contributing at |
| 18 | | the rate otherwise required under this Section.
|
| 19 | | (b-4) Beginning in fiscal year 2018, each employer under |
| 20 | | this Article shall pay to the System a required contribution |
| 21 | | determined as a percentage of projected payroll and sufficient |
| 22 | | to produce an annual amount equal to: |
| 23 | | (i) for each of fiscal years 2018, 2019, and 2020, the |
| 24 | | defined benefit normal cost of the defined benefit plan, |
| 25 | | less the employee contribution, for each employee of that |
| 26 | | employer who has elected or who is deemed to have elected |
|
| | 10200SB1646ham002 | - 21 - | LRB102 15392 SMS 26215 a |
|
|
|
| 1 | | the benefits under Section 1-161 or who has made the |
| 2 | | election under subsection (b) of Section 1-161; for fiscal |
| 3 | | year 2021 and each fiscal year thereafter, the defined |
| 4 | | benefit normal cost of the defined benefit plan, less the |
| 5 | | employee contribution, plus 2%, for each employee of that |
| 6 | | employer who has elected or who is deemed to have elected |
| 7 | | the benefits under Section 1-161 or who has made the |
| 8 | | election under subsection (b) of Section 1-161; plus |
| 9 | | (ii) the amount required for that fiscal year to |
| 10 | | amortize any unfunded actuarial accrued liability |
| 11 | | associated with the present value of liabilities |
| 12 | | attributable to the employer's account under Section |
| 13 | | 16-158.3, determined
as a level percentage of payroll over |
| 14 | | a 30-year rolling amortization period. |
| 15 | | In determining contributions required under item (i) of |
| 16 | | this subsection, the System shall determine an aggregate rate |
| 17 | | for all employers, expressed as a percentage of projected |
| 18 | | payroll. |
| 19 | | In determining the contributions required under item (ii) |
| 20 | | of this subsection, the amount shall be computed by the System |
| 21 | | on the basis of the actuarial assumptions and tables used in |
| 22 | | the most recent actuarial valuation of the System that is |
| 23 | | available at the time of the computation. |
| 24 | | The contributions required under this subsection (b-4) |
| 25 | | shall be paid by an employer concurrently with that employer's |
| 26 | | payroll payment period. The State, as the actual employer of |
|
| | 10200SB1646ham002 | - 22 - | LRB102 15392 SMS 26215 a |
|
|
|
| 1 | | an employee, shall make the required contributions under this |
| 2 | | subsection. |
| 3 | | (c) Payment of the required State contributions and of all |
| 4 | | pensions,
retirement annuities, death benefits, refunds, and |
| 5 | | other benefits granted
under or assumed by this System, and |
| 6 | | all expenses in connection with the
administration and |
| 7 | | operation thereof, are obligations of the State.
|
| 8 | | If members are paid from special trust or federal funds |
| 9 | | which are
administered by the employing unit, whether school |
| 10 | | district or other
unit, the employing unit shall pay to the |
| 11 | | System from such
funds the full accruing retirement costs |
| 12 | | based upon that
service, which, beginning July 1, 2017, shall |
| 13 | | be at a rate, expressed as a percentage of salary, equal to the |
| 14 | | total employer's normal cost, expressed as a percentage of |
| 15 | | payroll, as determined by the System. Employer contributions, |
| 16 | | based on
salary paid to members from federal funds, may be |
| 17 | | forwarded by the distributing
agency of the State of Illinois |
| 18 | | to the System prior to allocation, in an
amount determined in |
| 19 | | accordance with guidelines established by such
agency and the |
| 20 | | System. Any contribution for fiscal year 2015 collected as a |
| 21 | | result of the change made by Public Act 98-674 shall be |
| 22 | | considered a State contribution under subsection (b-3) of this |
| 23 | | Section.
|
| 24 | | (d) Effective July 1, 1986, any employer of a teacher as |
| 25 | | defined in
paragraph (8) of Section 16-106 shall pay the |
| 26 | | employer's normal cost
of benefits based upon the teacher's |
|
| | 10200SB1646ham002 | - 23 - | LRB102 15392 SMS 26215 a |
|
|
|
| 1 | | service, in addition to
employee contributions, as determined |
| 2 | | by the System. Such employer
contributions shall be forwarded |
| 3 | | monthly in accordance with guidelines
established by the |
| 4 | | System.
|
| 5 | | However, with respect to benefits granted under Section |
| 6 | | 16-133.4 or
16-133.5 to a teacher as defined in paragraph (8) |
| 7 | | of Section 16-106, the
employer's contribution shall be 12% |
| 8 | | (rather than 20%) of the member's
highest annual salary rate |
| 9 | | for each year of creditable service granted, and
the employer |
| 10 | | shall also pay the required employee contribution on behalf of
|
| 11 | | the teacher. For the purposes of Sections 16-133.4 and |
| 12 | | 16-133.5, a teacher
as defined in paragraph (8) of Section |
| 13 | | 16-106 who is serving in that capacity
while on leave of |
| 14 | | absence from another employer under this Article shall not
be |
| 15 | | considered an employee of the employer from which the teacher |
| 16 | | is on leave.
|
| 17 | | (e) Beginning July 1, 1998, every employer of a teacher
|
| 18 | | shall pay to the System an employer contribution computed as |
| 19 | | follows:
|
| 20 | | (1) Beginning July 1, 1998 through June 30, 1999, the |
| 21 | | employer
contribution shall be equal to 0.3% of each |
| 22 | | teacher's salary.
|
| 23 | | (2) Beginning July 1, 1999 and thereafter, the |
| 24 | | employer
contribution shall be equal to 0.58% of each |
| 25 | | teacher's salary.
|
| 26 | | The school district or other employing unit may pay these |
|
| | 10200SB1646ham002 | - 24 - | LRB102 15392 SMS 26215 a |
|
|
|
| 1 | | employer
contributions out of any source of funding available |
| 2 | | for that purpose and
shall forward the contributions to the |
| 3 | | System on the schedule established
for the payment of member |
| 4 | | contributions.
|
| 5 | | These employer contributions are intended to offset a |
| 6 | | portion of the cost
to the System of the increases in |
| 7 | | retirement benefits resulting from Public Act 90-582.
|
| 8 | | Each employer of teachers is entitled to a credit against |
| 9 | | the contributions
required under this subsection (e) with |
| 10 | | respect to salaries paid to teachers
for the period January 1, |
| 11 | | 2002 through June 30, 2003, equal to the amount paid
by that |
| 12 | | employer under subsection (a-5) of Section 6.6 of the State |
| 13 | | Employees
Group Insurance Act of 1971 with respect to salaries |
| 14 | | paid to teachers for that
period.
|
| 15 | | The additional 1% employee contribution required under |
| 16 | | Section 16-152 by Public Act 90-582
is the responsibility of |
| 17 | | the teacher and not the
teacher's employer, unless the |
| 18 | | employer agrees, through collective bargaining
or otherwise, |
| 19 | | to make the contribution on behalf of the teacher.
|
| 20 | | If an employer is required by a contract in effect on May |
| 21 | | 1, 1998 between the
employer and an employee organization to |
| 22 | | pay, on behalf of all its full-time
employees
covered by this |
| 23 | | Article, all mandatory employee contributions required under
|
| 24 | | this Article, then the employer shall be excused from paying |
| 25 | | the employer
contribution required under this subsection (e) |
| 26 | | for the balance of the term
of that contract. The employer and |
|
| | 10200SB1646ham002 | - 25 - | LRB102 15392 SMS 26215 a |
|
|
|
| 1 | | the employee organization shall jointly
certify to the System |
| 2 | | the existence of the contractual requirement, in such
form as |
| 3 | | the System may prescribe. This exclusion shall cease upon the
|
| 4 | | termination, extension, or renewal of the contract at any time |
| 5 | | after May 1,
1998.
|
| 6 | | (f) If June 4, 2018 (Public Act 100-587) the amount of a |
| 7 | | teacher's salary for any school year used to determine final |
| 8 | | average salary exceeds the member's annual full-time salary |
| 9 | | rate with the same employer for the previous school year by |
| 10 | | more than 6%, the teacher's employer shall pay to the System, |
| 11 | | in addition to all other payments required under this Section |
| 12 | | and in accordance with guidelines established by the System, |
| 13 | | the present value of the increase in benefits resulting from |
| 14 | | the portion of the increase in salary that is in excess of 6%. |
| 15 | | This present value shall be computed by the System on the basis |
| 16 | | of the actuarial assumptions and tables used in the most |
| 17 | | recent actuarial valuation of the System that is available at |
| 18 | | the time of the computation. If a teacher's salary for the |
| 19 | | 2005-2006 school year is used to determine final average |
| 20 | | salary under this subsection (f), then the changes made to |
| 21 | | this subsection (f) by Public Act 94-1057 shall apply in |
| 22 | | calculating whether the increase in his or her salary is in |
| 23 | | excess of 6%. For the purposes of this Section, change in |
| 24 | | employment under Section 10-21.12 of the School Code on or |
| 25 | | after June 1, 2005 shall constitute a change in employer. The |
| 26 | | System may require the employer to provide any pertinent |
|
| | 10200SB1646ham002 | - 26 - | LRB102 15392 SMS 26215 a |
|
|
|
| 1 | | information or documentation.
The changes made to this |
| 2 | | subsection (f) by Public Act 94-1111 apply without regard to |
| 3 | | whether the teacher was in service on or after its effective |
| 4 | | date.
|
| 5 | | Whenever it determines that a payment is or may be |
| 6 | | required under this subsection, the System shall calculate the |
| 7 | | amount of the payment and bill the employer for that amount. |
| 8 | | The bill shall specify the calculations used to determine the |
| 9 | | amount due. If the employer disputes the amount of the bill, it |
| 10 | | may, within 30 days after receipt of the bill, apply to the |
| 11 | | System in writing for a recalculation. The application must |
| 12 | | specify in detail the grounds of the dispute and, if the |
| 13 | | employer asserts that the calculation is subject to subsection |
| 14 | | (g), (g-5), or (h) of this Section, must include an affidavit |
| 15 | | setting forth and attesting to all facts within the employer's |
| 16 | | knowledge that are pertinent to the applicability of that |
| 17 | | subsection. Upon receiving a timely application for |
| 18 | | recalculation, the System shall review the application and, if |
| 19 | | appropriate, recalculate the amount due.
|
| 20 | | The employer contributions required under this subsection |
| 21 | | (f) may be paid in the form of a lump sum within 90 days after |
| 22 | | receipt of the bill. If the employer contributions are not |
| 23 | | paid within 90 days after receipt of the bill, then interest |
| 24 | | will be charged at a rate equal to the System's annual |
| 25 | | actuarially assumed rate of return on investment compounded |
| 26 | | annually from the 91st day after receipt of the bill. Payments |
|
| | 10200SB1646ham002 | - 27 - | LRB102 15392 SMS 26215 a |
|
|
|
| 1 | | must be concluded within 3 years after the employer's receipt |
| 2 | | of the bill.
|
| 3 | | (f-1) (Blank). June 4, 2018 (Public Act 100-587) |
| 4 | | (g) This subsection (g) applies only to payments made or |
| 5 | | salary increases given on or after June 1, 2005 but before July |
| 6 | | 1, 2011. The changes made by Public Act 94-1057 shall not |
| 7 | | require the System to refund any payments received before
July |
| 8 | | 31, 2006 (the effective date of Public Act 94-1057). |
| 9 | | When assessing payment for any amount due under subsection |
| 10 | | (f), the System shall exclude salary increases paid to |
| 11 | | teachers under contracts or collective bargaining agreements |
| 12 | | entered into, amended, or renewed before June 1, 2005.
|
| 13 | | When assessing payment for any amount due under subsection |
| 14 | | (f), the System shall exclude salary increases paid to a |
| 15 | | teacher at a time when the teacher is 10 or more years from |
| 16 | | retirement eligibility under Section 16-132 or 16-133.2.
|
| 17 | | When assessing payment for any amount due under subsection |
| 18 | | (f), the System shall exclude salary increases resulting from |
| 19 | | overload work, including summer school, when the school |
| 20 | | district has certified to the System, and the System has |
| 21 | | approved the certification, that (i) the overload work is for |
| 22 | | the sole purpose of classroom instruction in excess of the |
| 23 | | standard number of classes for a full-time teacher in a school |
| 24 | | district during a school year and (ii) the salary increases |
| 25 | | are equal to or less than the rate of pay for classroom |
| 26 | | instruction computed on the teacher's current salary and work |

| 1 | | if the amount of a participant's salary for any school year |
| 2 | | exceeds the amount of the salary set for the Governor, the |
| 3 | | participant's employer shall pay to the System, in addition to |
| 4 | | all other payments required under this Section and in |
| 5 | | accordance with guidelines established by the System, an |
| 6 | | amount determined by the System to be equal to the employer |
| 7 | | normal cost, as established by the System and expressed as a |
| 8 | | total percentage of payroll, multiplied by the amount of |
| 9 | | salary in excess of the amount of the salary set for the |
| 10 | | Governor. This amount shall be computed by the System on the |
| 11 | | basis of the actuarial assumptions and tables used in the most |
| 12 | | recent actuarial valuation of the System that is available at |
| 13 | | the time of the computation. The System may require the |
| 14 | | employer to provide any pertinent information or |
| 15 | | documentation. |
| 16 | | Whenever it determines that a payment is or may be |
| 17 | | required under this subsection, the System shall calculate the |
| 18 | | amount of the payment and bill the employer for that amount. |
| 19 | | The bill shall specify the calculations used to determine the |
| 20 | | amount due. If the employer disputes the amount of the bill, it |
| 21 | | may, within 30 days after receipt of the bill, apply to the |
| 22 | | System in writing for a recalculation. The application must |
| 23 | | specify in detail the grounds of the dispute. Upon receiving a |
| 24 | | timely application for recalculation, the System shall review |
| 25 | | the application and, if appropriate, recalculate the amount |
| 26 | | due. |

| 1 | | The employer contributions required under this subsection |
| 2 | | may be paid in the form of a lump sum within 90 days after |
| 3 | | receipt of the bill. If the employer contributions are not |
| 4 | | paid within 90 days after receipt of the bill, then interest |
| 5 | | will be charged at a rate equal to the System's annual |
| 6 | | actuarially assumed rate of return on investment compounded |
| 7 | | annually from the 91st day after receipt of the bill. Payments |
| 8 | | must be concluded within 3 years after the employer's receipt |
| 9 | | of the bill. |
| 10 | | (j) For purposes of determining the required State |
| 11 | | contribution to the System, the value of the System's assets |
| 12 | | shall be equal to the actuarial value of the System's assets, |
| 13 | | which shall be calculated as follows: |
| 14 | | As of June 30, 2008, the actuarial value of the System's |
| 15 | | assets shall be equal to the market value of the assets as of |
| 16 | | that date. In determining the actuarial value of the System's |
| 17 | | assets for fiscal years after June 30, 2008, any actuarial |
| 18 | | gains or losses from investment return incurred in a fiscal |
| 19 | | year shall be recognized in equal annual amounts over the |
| 20 | | 5-year period following that fiscal year. |
| 21 | | (k) For purposes of determining the required State |
| 22 | | contribution to the system for a particular year, the |
| 23 | | actuarial value of assets shall be assumed to earn a rate of |
| 24 | | return equal to the system's actuarially assumed rate of |
| 25 | | return. |
