AN ACT concerning the Secretary of State.
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
Section 5. The State Salary and Annuity Withholding Act is
amended by changing Sections 4 and 8 as follows:
(5 ILCS 365/4) (from Ch. 127, par. 354)
Sec. 4. Authorization of withholding. An employee or
annuitant may authorize the withholding of a portion of his
salary, wages, or annuity for any one or more of the following
purposes:
(1) for purchase of United States Savings Bonds;
(2) for payment of premiums on life or accident and
health insurance as defined in Section 4 of the "Illinois
Insurance Code", approved June 29, 1937, as amended, and
for payment of premiums on policies of automobile insurance
as defined in Section 143.13 of the "Illinois Insurance
Code", as amended, and the personal multiperil coverages
commonly known as homeowner's insurance. However, no
portion of salaries, wages or annuities may be withheld to
pay premiums on automobile, homeowner's, life or accident
and health insurance policies issued by any one insurance
company or insurance service company unless a minimum of
100 employees or annuitants insured by that company
authorize the withholding by an Office within 6 months
after such withholding begins. If such minimum is not
satisfied the Office may discontinue withholding for such
company. For any insurance company or insurance service
company which has not previously had withholding, the
Office may allow withholding for premiums, where less than
100 policies have been written, to cover a probationary
period. An insurance company which has discontinued
withholding may reinstate it upon presentation of facts
indicating new management or re-organization satisfactory
to the Office;
(3) for payment to any labor organization designated by
the employee;
(4) for payment of dues to any association the
membership of which consists of State employees and former
State employees;

employees are within the field of membership as a result of
their employment;
(6) for payment to or for the benefit of an institution
of higher education by an employee of that institution;

University of Illinois;
(8) for voluntary payment to the State of Illinois of
amounts then due and payable to the State;
(9) for investment purchases made as a participant in
College Savings Programs established pursuant to Section
30-15.8a of the School Code;
(10) for voluntary payment to the Illinois Department
of Revenue of amounts due or to become due under the
Illinois Income Tax Act;
(11) for payment of optional contributions to a
retirement system subject to the provisions of the Illinois
Pension Code;
(12) for contributions to organizations found
qualified by the State Comptroller under the requirements
set forth in the Voluntary Payroll Deductions Act of 1983;
(13) for payment of fringe benefit contributions to
employee benefit trust funds (whether such employee

Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, 29 U.S.C. §1001 et
seq. or not) for State contractual employees hired through
labor organizations and working pursuant to a signed
agreement between a labor organization and a State agency,
whether subject to the Illinois Prevailing Wage Act or not;
this item (13) is not intended to limit employee benefit
trust funds and the contributions to be made thereto to be
limited to those which are encompassed for purposes of
computing the prevailing wage in any particular locale, but
rather such employee benefit trusts are intended to include
contributions to be made to such funds that are intended to
assist in training, building and maintenance, industry
advancement, and the like, including but not limited to
those benefit trust funds such as pension and welfare that

specified in the authorization. Such payments shall be made by
