 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 8-230.1 as follows:

 6        (40 ILCS 5/8-230.1) (from Ch. 108 1/2, par. 8-230.1)
 7        Sec.  8-230.1.  Right  of  employees  to  contribute  for
 8    certain other service.  Any employee in  the  service,  after
 9    having  made  contributions  covering  a period of 10 or more
10    years to the annuity and benefit fund  herein  provided  for,
11    may  elect  to  pay  for  and  receive credit for all annuity
12    purposes for service theretofore rendered by the employee  to
13    the  Chicago  Transit  Authority  created by the Metropolitan
14    Transit Authority Act or its  predecessor  public  utilities;
15    provided that the last 5 years of service prior to retirement
16    on  annuity  shall have been as an employee of the City and a
17    contributor to this Fund.  Such service credit  may  be  paid
18    for  and  granted  on  the  same  basis and conditions as are
19    applicable in the case of employees who make payment for past
20    service under the provisions of Section  8-230,  but  on  the
21    assumption  that  the employee's salary throughout all of his
22    or her service with the Authority or its  predecessor  public
23    utilities  was  at  the  rate of the employee's salary at the
24    date of his or her entrance into the service as  a  municipal
25    employee.   In  no  event,  however,  shall  such  service be
26    credited if the employee has not forfeited  and  relinquished
27    pension  credit  for  service  covering such period under any
28    pension or retirement plan applicable to the Authority or its
29    predecessor public utilities and instituted and maintained by
30    the Authority or its predecessor  public  utilities  for  the
31    benefit of its employees.
 
                            -2-                LRB9207858EGfg
 1        If the application to establish credit under this Section
 2    is  received  by  the  Fund on or after the effective date of
 3    this amendatory Act of the 92nd General Assembly  and  before
 4    July  1,  2002, no contribution from the employee is required
 5    to establish credit for service rendered by the  employee  to
 6    the  Chicago Transit Authority during the period July 1, 1974
 7    through August  31,  1978.   This  amendatory  Act  does  not
 8    entitle  any person to a refund of contributions already paid
 9    for credit previously established under this Section.
10    (Source: P.A. 90-655, eff. 7-30-98.)

11        Section 90.  The State Mandates Act is amended by  adding
12    Section 8.25 as follows:

13        (30 ILCS 805/8.25 new)
14        Sec.  8.25.  Exempt  mandate.  Notwithstanding Sections 6
15    and 8 of this Act, no reimbursement by the State is  required
16    for  the  implementation  of  any  mandate  created  by  this
17    amendatory Act of the 92nd General Assembly.

18        Section  99.  Effective date.  This Act takes effect upon
19    becoming law.
