Information maintained by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

40 ILCS 5/14-108.4

    (40 ILCS 5/14-108.4) (from Ch. 108 1/2, par. 14-108.4)
    Sec. 14-108.4. State police early retirement incentives.
    (a) To be eligible for the benefits provided in this Section, a person must:
        (1) be a member of this System who, on any day during
    
October, 1992, is in active payroll status in a position of employment with the Department of State Police for which eligible creditable service is being earned under Section 14-110;
        (2) have not previously retired under this Article;
        (3) file a written application requesting the
    
benefits provided in this Section with the Director of State Police and the Board on or before January 20, 1993;
        (4) establish eligibility to receive a retirement
    
annuity under Section 14-110 by January 31, 1993 (for which purpose any age enhancement or creditable service received under this Section may be used) and elect to receive the retirement annuity beginning not earlier than January 1, 1993 and not later than February 1, 1993, except that with the written permission of the Director of State Police, the effective date of the retirement annuity may be postponed to no later than July 1, 1993.
    (b) An eligible person may establish up to 5 years of creditable service under this Article, in increments of one month, by making the contributions specified in subsection (c). In addition, for each month of creditable service established under this Section, a person's age at retirement shall be deemed to be one month older than it actually is.
    The creditable service established under this Section shall be deemed eligible creditable service as defined in Section 14-110, and may be used for all purposes under this Article and the Retirement Systems Reciprocal Act, except for the computation of final average compensation under Section 14-103.12, or the determination of compensation under this or any other Article of this Code.
    The age enhancement established under this Section may be used for all purposes under this Article (including calculation of a proportionate annuity payable by this System under the Retirement Systems Reciprocal Act), except for purposes of the level income option in Section 14-112, the reversionary annuity under Section 14-113, and the required distributions under Section 14-121.1. However, age enhancement established under this Section shall not be used in determining benefits payable under other Articles of this Code under the Retirement Systems Reciprocal Act.
    (c) For all creditable service established under this Section, a person must pay to the System an employee contribution to be determined by the System, based on the member's final rate of compensation and one-half of the total retirement contribution rate in effect for the member under subdivision (a)(3) of Section 14-133 on the date of withdrawal.
    If the member receives a lump sum payment for accumulated vacation, sick leave and personal leave upon withdrawal from service, and the net amount of that lump sum payment is at least as great as the amount of the contribution required under this Section, the entire contribution (or so much of it as does not exceed the contribution limitations of Section 415 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986) must be paid by the employee before the retirement annuity may become payable. If there is no such lump sum payment, or if it is less than the contribution required under this Section, the member may either pay the entire contribution before the retirement annuity becomes payable, or may instead make an initial payment before the retirement annuity becomes payable, equal to the net amount of the lump sum payment for accumulated vacation, sick leave and personal leave (or so much of it as does not exceed the contribution limitations of Section 415 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986), and have the remaining amount due deducted from the retirement annuity in 24 equal monthly installments beginning in the month in which the retirement annuity takes effect.
    However, if the net amount of the lump sum payment for accumulated vacation, sick leave and personal leave equals or exceeds the contribution required under this Section, but the required contribution exceeds an applicable contribution limitation contained in Section 415 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, then the amount of the contribution in excess of the Section 415 limitation shall instead be paid by the annuitant in January of 1994. If this additional amount is not paid as required, the retirement annuity shall be suspended until the required contribution is received.
    (d) Notwithstanding Section 14-111, an annuitant who has received any age enhancement or creditable service under this Section and who reenters service under this Article other than as a temporary employee shall thereby forfeit such age enhancement and creditable service, and become entitled to a refund of the contributions made pursuant to this Section.
    (e) The Board shall determine the unfunded accrued liability created by the granting of early retirement benefits to State policemen under this Section, and shall certify the amount of that liability to the Department of State Police, the State Comptroller, the State Treasurer, and the Bureau of the Budget (now Governor's Office of Management and Budget) by June 1, 1993, or as soon thereafter as is practical. In addition to any other payments to the System required under this Code, the Department of State Police shall pay to the System the amount of that unfunded accrued liability, out of funds appropriated to the Department for that purpose, over a period of 7 years at the rate of 14.3% of the certified amount per year, plus interest on the unpaid balance at the actuarial rate as calculated and certified annually by the Board. Beginning in State fiscal year 1996, the liability created under this subsection (e) shall be included in the calculation of the required State contribution under Section 14-131 and no additional payments need be made under this subsection.
