3In the case of a taxing district that obtained referendum
4approval for an increased limiting rate on March 20, 2012, the
5limiting rate for tax year 2012 shall be the rate that
6generates the approximate total amount of taxes extendable for
7that tax year, as set forth in the proposition approved by the
8voters; this rate shall be the final rate applied by the county
9clerk for the aggregate of all capped funds of the district for
10tax year 2012.

19equal to the amount that would be provided on such date from
20employee contributions, assuming regular interest to such
21date, if such employee had been contributing in accordance
22with the provisions of "The 1919 Act" and this Article from the
23beginning of his service and the salary of the employee during
24his prior service was the same as it was on July 1, 1919, or on

8salary of such employee if such employee had been under the
9provisions of "The 1919 Act" and this Article from the
10beginning of his service and the salary of such employee
11during his period of prior service was the same as it was on
12July 1, 1919 or on July 1, 1937 in the case of an employee of
13the board.

1    Section 20. (a) Public Act 98-622 added Section 12-195 to
2the Illinois Pension Code. Section 97 of Public Act 98-622
3provided:
4        The changes made by this amendatory Act are
5    inseverable, except that Section 12-195 of the Illinois
6    Pension Code is severable under Section 1.31 of the
7    Statute on Statutes.
8    (b) On March 1, 2018, the Circuit Court of Cook County
9entered a Memorandum and Order in David Biedron, et al. v. Park
10Employees' and Retirement Board Employees' Annuity and Benefit
11Fund, et al., case number 15 CH 14869. The Memorandum and
12Order, inter alia, held:
13        The legislative history of Public Act 098-0622 is
14    clear that its purpose was to establish a comprehensive
15    scheme to reform the Fund and enable it to achieve
16    long-term financial stability. (District's MSJ. Ex, B). It
17    is clear from the Act itself and the legislative history
18    that the provisions of the Act were intended to work
19    together to achieve this purpose. Section 12-195, the sole
20    remaining provision of the Act, cannot by itself
21    accomplish the General Assembly's purpose in enacting
22    Public Act 098-0622. The invalidation of every provision
23    of the Act except §12-195 severely undercuts the General
24    Assembly's purpose in enacting Public Act 098-0622 and,
25    therefore, §12-195 is also inseverable.
26        Based on Public Act 098-0622's severability provision

 

 

10200HB0417sam001- 56 -LRB102 09987 AMC 26803 a

1    and Illinois case law, the unchallenged sections of Public
2    Act 098-0622 are not severable and the entire Act must be
3    declared void. Plaintiffs are entitled to a declaration
4    that Public Act 098-0622 is unconstitutional and
5    unenforceable in its entirety under the Pension Clause.
6    An Agreed Order was entered in that case on January 8, 2019
7to resolve certain matters.
8    (c) The purpose of the reenactment of Section 12-195 of
9the Illinois Pension Code in Section 20 of this Act is to
10remove any question as to the validity or content of Section
1112-195 of the Illinois Pension Code. This Act is not intended
12to supersede any other Public Act that amends the text of
13Section 12-195 of the Illinois Pension Code.
 
14    Section 25. Section 12-195 of the Illinois Pension Code is
15reenacted as follows:
 
16    (40 ILCS 5/12-195)
17    Sec. 12-195. Application and expiration of new benefit
18increases.
19    (a) As used in this Section, "new benefit increase" means
20an increase in the amount of any benefit provided under this
21Article, or an expansion of the conditions of eligibility for
22any benefit under this Article, that results from an amendment
23to this Code that takes effect after the effective date of this
24amendatory Act of the 98th General Assembly.

 

 

10200HB0417sam001- 57 -LRB102 09987 AMC 26803 a

1    (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Code or
2any subsequent amendment to this Code, every new benefit
3increase is subject to this Section and shall be deemed to be
4granted only in conformance with and contingent upon
5compliance with the provisions of this Section.
6    (c) The Public Act enacting a new benefit increase must
7identify and provide for payment to the Fund of additional
8funding at least sufficient to fund the resulting annual
9increase in cost to the Fund as it accrues.
10    Every new benefit increase is contingent upon the General
11Assembly providing the additional funding required under this
12subsection (c). The State Actuary shall analyze whether
13adequate additional funding has been provided for the new
14benefit increase. A new benefit increase created by a Public
15Act that does not include the additional funding required
16under this subsection (c) is null and void. If the State
17Actuary determines that the additional funding provided for a
18new benefit increase under this subsection (c) is or has
19become inadequate, it may so certify to the Governor and the
20State Comptroller and, in the absence of corrective action by
21the General Assembly, the new benefit increase shall expire at
22the end of the fiscal year in which the certification is made.
