20 contribution to the State Employees' Retirement System of
21 Illinois, the Comptroller shall promptly so notify the

09600SB3514ham001 - 6 - LRB096 18423 AMC 41224 a

3 the lump-sum appropriations otherwise made for the payroll and
4 other costs of those employees.
5     These payments must be made pursuant to payroll vouchers
6 submitted by the employing entity as part of the regular
7 payroll voucher process.

15     Section 10. The General Obligation Bond Act is amended by
16 changing Sections 2, 2.5, 7.2, 9, 11, 14.1, and 15 as follows:
 
17     (30 ILCS 330/2)  (from Ch. 127, par. 652)
18     Sec. 2. Authorization for Bonds. The State of Illinois is
19 authorized to issue, sell and provide for the retirement of
20 General Obligation Bonds of the State of Illinois for the
21 categories and specific purposes expressed in Sections 2
22 through 8 of this Act, in the total amount of $40,917,777,443
23 $37,217,777,443.
24     The bonds authorized in this Section 2 and in Section 16 of

 

 

09600SB3514ham001 - 7 - LRB096 18423 AMC 41224 a

1 this Act are herein called "Bonds".
2     Of the total amount of Bonds authorized in this Act, up to
3 $2,200,000,000 in aggregate original principal amount may be
4 issued and sold in accordance with the Baccalaureate Savings
5 Act in the form of General Obligation College Savings Bonds.
6     Of the total amount of Bonds authorized in this Act, up to
7 $300,000,000 in aggregate original principal amount may be
8 issued and sold in accordance with the Retirement Savings Act
9 in the form of General Obligation Retirement Savings Bonds.
10     Of the total amount of Bonds authorized in this Act, the
11 additional $10,000,000,000 authorized by Public Act 93-2, and
12 the $3,466,000,000 authorized by Public Act 96-43, and the
13 $3,700,000,000 authorized by this amendatory Act of the 96th
14 General Assembly shall be used solely as provided in Section
15 7.2.
16     The issuance and sale of Bonds pursuant to the General
17 Obligation Bond Act is an economical and efficient method of
18 financing the long-term capital needs of the State. This Act
19 will permit the issuance of a multi-purpose General Obligation
20 Bond with uniform terms and features. This will not only lower
21 the cost of registration but also reduce the overall cost of
22 issuing debt by improving the marketability of Illinois General
23 Obligation Bonds.

2 Bond Sale Order, which criteria may include, without
3 limitation, references to indices or variations in interest

8 risk management policy providing that the amount of the State's
9 variable rate exposure with respect to Bonds shall not exceed
10 20%. This policy shall remain in effect while any Bonds are
11 outstanding and the issuance of Bonds shall be subject to the
12 terms of such policy. The terms of this policy may be amended
13 from time to time by the Director of the Governor's Office of

15 the permitted level of the State's variable rate exposure with
16 respect to Bonds to exceed 20%.

2     Sec. 2-124. Contributions by State.
3     (a) The State shall make contributions to the System by
4 appropriations of amounts which, together with the
5 contributions of participants, interest earned on investments,
6 and other income will meet the cost of maintaining and
7 administering the System on a 90% funded basis in accordance
8 with actuarial recommendations.
9     (b) The Board shall determine the amount of State
10 contributions required for each fiscal year on the basis of the
11 actuarial tables and other assumptions adopted by the Board and
12 the prescribed rate of interest, using the formula in
13 subsection (c).
14     (c) For State fiscal years 2011 through 2045, the minimum
15 contribution to the System to be made by the State for each
16 fiscal year shall be an amount determined by the System to be
17 sufficient to bring the total assets of the System up to 90% of
18 the total actuarial liabilities of the System by the end of
19 State fiscal year 2045. In making these determinations, the
20 required State contribution shall be calculated each year as a
21 level percentage of payroll over the years remaining to and
22 including fiscal year 2045 and shall be determined under the
23 projected unit credit actuarial cost method.
24     For State fiscal years 1996 through 2005, the State
25 contribution to the System, as a percentage of the applicable
26 employee payroll, shall be increased in equal annual increments

1 so that by State fiscal year 2011, the State is contributing at
2 the rate required under this Section.
3     Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article, the
4 total required State contribution for State fiscal year 2006 is
5 $4,157,000.
6     Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article, the
7 total required State contribution for State fiscal year 2007 is
8 $5,220,300.
9     For each of State fiscal years 2008 through 2009, the State
10 contribution to the System, as a percentage of the applicable
11 employee payroll, shall be increased in equal annual increments
12 from the required State contribution for State fiscal year
13 2007, so that by State fiscal year 2011, the State is
14 contributing at the rate otherwise required under this Section.
15     Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article, the
16 total required State contribution for State fiscal year 2010 is
17 $10,454,000 and shall be made from the proceeds of bonds sold
18 in fiscal year 2010 pursuant to Section 7.2 of the General
19 Obligation Bond Act, less (i) the pro rata share of bond sale
20 expenses determined by the System's share of total bond
21 proceeds, (ii) any amounts received from the General Revenue
22 Fund in fiscal year 2010, and (iii) any reduction in bond
23 proceeds due to the issuance of discounted bonds, if
24 applicable.
25     Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article, the
26 total required State contribution for State fiscal year 2011 is

 

 

09600SB3514ham001 - 39 - LRB096 18423 AMC 41224 a

1 the amount recertified by the System pursuant to this
2 amendatory Act of the 96th General Assembly. Subject to the
3 requirements of Section 7.2 of the General Obligation Bond Act,
4 the State contribution for fiscal year 2011 may be made through
5 any combination of (i) the transfer of bonds to the System in
6 fiscal year 2011 and (ii) the proceeds of bonds sold by
7 negotiated sale in fiscal year 2011 pursuant to Section 7.2 of
8 the General Obligation Bond Act, less (A) the pro rata share of
9 bond sale expenses determined by the System's share of total
10 bond proceeds, (B) any amounts received from the General
11 Revenue Fund or the State Pensions Fund in fiscal year 2011,
12 and (C) any reduction in bond proceeds due to the issuance of
13 discounted bonds, if applicable. If no bonds are issued
14 directly to the System in accordance with Section 7.2 of the
15 General Obligation Bond Act and if in the sole determination of
16 the Director of the Governor's Office of Management and Budget
17 market conditions do not support the issuance of bonds by
18 negotiated sale in order to make all or a portion of the
19 required contribution, he or she shall so inform the System in
20 writing and the State contribution for fiscal year 2011 shall
21 be only the System's pro rata share, based on the amounts
22 recertified by each System pursuant to this amendatory Act of
23 the 96th General Assembly, of the proceeds of bonds issued,
24 less (A) the pro rata share of bond sale expenses determined by
25 the System's share of total bond proceeds, (B) any amounts
26 received from the General Revenue Fund or the State Pensions

1 Fund in fiscal year 2011, and (C) any reduction in bond
2 proceeds due to the issuance of discounted bonds, if
3 applicable.
4     Beginning in State fiscal year 2046, the minimum State
5 contribution for each fiscal year shall be the amount needed to
6 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 calculated
23 under this Section and certified under Section 2-134, shall not
24 exceed an amount equal to (i) the amount of the required State
25 contribution that would have been calculated under this Section
26 for that fiscal year if the System had not received any

 

 

09600SB3514ham001 - 41 - LRB096 18423 AMC 41224 a

1 payments under subsection (d) of Section 7.2 of the General
2 Obligation Bond Act, minus (ii) the portion of the State's
3 total debt service payments for that fiscal year on the bonds
4 issued for the purposes of that Section 7.2, as determined and
5 certified by the Comptroller, that is the same as the System's
6 portion of the total moneys distributed under subsection (d) of
7 Section 7.2 of the General Obligation Bond Act. In determining
8 this maximum for State fiscal years 2008 through 2010, however,
9 the amount referred to in item (i) shall be increased, as a
10 percentage of the applicable employee payroll, in equal
11 increments calculated from the sum of the required State
12 contribution for State fiscal year 2007 plus the applicable
13 portion of the State's total debt service payments for fiscal
14 year 2007 on the bonds issued for the purposes of Section 7.2
15 of the General Obligation Bond Act, so that, by State fiscal
16 year 2011, the State is contributing at the rate otherwise
17 required under this Section.
18     (d) For purposes of determining the required State
19 contribution to the System, the value of the System's assets
20 shall be equal to the actuarial value of the System's assets,
21 which shall be calculated as follows:
22     As of June 30, 2008, the actuarial value of the System's
23 assets shall be equal to the market value of the assets as of
24 that date. In determining the actuarial value of the System's
25 assets for fiscal years after June 30, 2008, any actuarial
26 gains or losses from investment return incurred in a fiscal

 

 

09600SB3514ham001 - 42 - LRB096 18423 AMC 41224 a

1 year shall be recognized in equal annual amounts over the
2 5-year period following that fiscal year.
3     (e) For purposes of determining the required State
4 contribution to the system for a particular year, the actuarial
5 value of assets shall be assumed to earn a rate of return equal
6 to the system's actuarially assumed rate of return.

20 System under subsection (d) of Section 7.2 of the General
21 Obligation Bond Act.
22     On or before July 1, 2005, the Board shall recalculate and
23 recertify to the Governor the amount of the required State

4 contribution to the System for State fiscal year 2011, applying
5 the changes made by Public Act 96-889 to the System's assets
6 and liabilities as of June 30, 2009 as though Public Act 96-889
7 was approved on that date.
8     (b) Beginning in State fiscal year 1996, on or as soon as
9 possible after the 15th day of each month the Board shall
10 submit vouchers for payment of State contributions to the
11 System, in a total monthly amount of one-twelfth of the
12 required annual State contribution certified under subsection

16 of the fiscal year 2004 certified contribution amount
17 determined under this Section after taking into consideration
18 the transfer to the System under subsection (d) of Section
19 6z-61 of the State Finance Act. These vouchers shall be paid by

21 funds appropriated to the System for that fiscal year. If in
22 any month the amount remaining unexpended from all other
23 appropriations to the System for the applicable fiscal year

6 System for State fiscal year 1995 shall be transferred and made

8 the request of the Board. Any excess funds remaining at the end
9 of any fiscal year from appropriations shall be retained by the

7     The Board shall also determine a State contribution rate
8 for each fiscal year, expressed as a percentage of payroll,
9 based on the total required State contribution for that fiscal
10 year (less the amount received by the System from

7 rate, unless the terms of the trust or the federal-State
8 agreement preclude the use of the funds for that purpose, in
9 which case the required employer contributions shall be paid by
10 the State. From the effective date of this amendatory Act of

2 contribution to the System, as a percentage of the applicable

7     Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article, the
8 total required State General Revenue Fund contribution for
9 State fiscal year 2010 is $723,703,100 and shall be made from

3 General Revenue Fund or the State Pensions Fund in fiscal year
4 2011, and (C) any reduction in bond proceeds due to the

8 determination of the Director of the Governor's Office of
9 Management and Budget market conditions do not support the
10 issuance of bonds by negotiated sale in order to make all or a
11 portion of the required contribution, he or she shall so inform
12 the System in writing and the State contribution for fiscal
13 year 2011 shall be only the System's pro rata share, based on

24 maintain the total assets of the System at 90% of the total
25 actuarial liabilities of the System.
26     Amounts received by the System pursuant to Section 25 of

 

 

09600SB3514ham001 - 51 - LRB096 18423 AMC 41224 a

1 the Budget Stabilization Act or Section 8.12 of the State
2 Finance Act in any fiscal year do not reduce and do not
3 constitute payment of any portion of the minimum State
4 contribution required under this Article in that fiscal year.
5 Such amounts shall not reduce, and shall not be included in the
6 calculation of, the required State contributions under this
7 Article in any future year until the System has reached a
8 funding ratio of at least 90%. A reference in this Article to
9 the "required State contribution" or any substantially similar
10 term does not include or apply to any amounts payable to the
11 System under Section 25 of the Budget Stabilization Act.
12     Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, the
13 required State contribution for State fiscal year 2005 and for
14 fiscal year 2008 and each fiscal year thereafter, as calculated
15 under this Section and certified under Section 14-135.08, shall
16 not exceed an amount equal to (i) the amount of the required
17 State contribution that would have been calculated under this
18 Section for that fiscal year if the System had not received any
19 payments under subsection (d) of Section 7.2 of the General
20 Obligation Bond Act, minus (ii) the portion of the State's
21 total debt service payments for that fiscal year on the bonds
22 issued for the purposes of that Section 7.2, as determined and
23 certified by the Comptroller, that is the same as the System's
24 portion of the total moneys distributed under subsection (d) of
25 Section 7.2 of the General Obligation Bond Act. In determining
26 this maximum for State fiscal years 2008 through 2010, however,

 

 

09600SB3514ham001 - 52 - LRB096 18423 AMC 41224 a

1 the amount referred to in item (i) shall be increased, as a
2 percentage of the applicable employee payroll, in equal
3 increments calculated from the sum of the required State
4 contribution for State fiscal year 2007 plus the applicable
5 portion of the State's total debt service payments for fiscal
6 year 2007 on the bonds issued for the purposes of Section 7.2
7 of the General Obligation Bond Act, so that, by State fiscal
8 year 2011, the State is contributing at the rate otherwise
9 required under this Section.
10     (f) After the submission of all payments for eligible
11 employees from personal services line items in fiscal year 2004
12 have been made, the Comptroller shall provide to the System a
13 certification of the sum of all fiscal year 2004 expenditures
14 for personal services that would have been covered by payments
15 to the System under this Section if the provisions of this
16 amendatory Act of the 93rd General Assembly had not been
17 enacted. Upon receipt of the certification, the System shall
18 determine the amount due to the System based on the full rate
19 certified by the Board under Section 14-135.08 for fiscal year
20 2004 in order to meet the State's obligation under this
21 Section. The System shall compare this amount due to the amount
22 received by the System in fiscal year 2004 through payments
23 under this Section and under Section 6z-61 of the State Finance
24 Act. If the amount due is more than the amount received, the
25 difference shall be termed the "Fiscal Year 2004 Shortfall" for
26 purposes of this Section, and the Fiscal Year 2004 Shortfall

 

 

09600SB3514ham001 - 53 - LRB096 18423 AMC 41224 a

1 shall be satisfied under Section 1.2 of the State Pension Funds
2 Continuing Appropriation Act. If the amount due is less than
3 the amount received, the difference shall be termed the "Fiscal
4 Year 2004 Overpayment" for purposes of this Section, and the
5 Fiscal Year 2004 Overpayment shall be repaid by the System to
6 the Pension Contribution Fund as soon as practicable after the
7 certification.
8     (g) For purposes of determining the required State
9 contribution to the System, the value of the System's assets
10 shall be equal to the actuarial value of the System's assets,
11 which shall be calculated as follows:
12     As of June 30, 2008, the actuarial value of the System's
13 assets shall be equal to the market value of the assets as of
14 that date. In determining the actuarial value of the System's
15 assets for fiscal years after June 30, 2008, any actuarial
16 gains or losses from investment return incurred in a fiscal
17 year shall be recognized in equal annual amounts over the
18 5-year period following that fiscal year.
19     (h) For purposes of determining the required State
20 contribution to the System for a particular year, the actuarial
21 value of assets shall be assumed to earn a rate of return equal
22 to the System's actuarially assumed rate of return.
23     (i) (g) After the submission of all payments for eligible
24 employees from personal services line items paid from the
25 General Revenue Fund in fiscal year 2010 have been made, the
26 Comptroller shall provide to the System a certification of the

 

 

09600SB3514ham001 - 54 - LRB096 18423 AMC 41224 a

1 sum of all fiscal year 2010 expenditures for personal services
2 that would have been covered by payments to the System under
3 this Section if the provisions of this amendatory Act of the
4 96th General Assembly had not been enacted. Upon receipt of the
5 certification, the System shall determine the amount due to the
6 System based on the full rate certified by the Board under
7 Section 14-135.08 for fiscal year 2010 in order to meet the
8 State's obligation under this Section. The System shall compare
9 this amount due to the amount received by the System in fiscal
10 year 2010 through payments under this Section. If the amount
11 due is more than the amount received, the difference shall be
12 termed the "Fiscal Year 2010 Shortfall" for purposes of this
13 Section, and the Fiscal Year 2010 Shortfall shall be satisfied
14 under Section 1.2 of the State Pension Funds Continuing
15 Appropriation Act. If the amount due is less than the amount
16 received, the difference shall be termed the "Fiscal Year 2010
17 Overpayment" for purposes of this Section, and the Fiscal Year
18 2010 Overpayment shall be repaid by the System to the General
19 Revenue Fund as soon as practicable after the certification.

20     (a) The State of Illinois shall make contributions by
21 appropriations of amounts which, together with the other
22 employer contributions from trust, federal, and other funds,
23 employee contributions, income from investments, and other
24 income of this System, will be sufficient to meet the cost of
25 maintaining and administering the System on a 90% funded basis

 

 

09600SB3514ham001 - 57 - LRB096 18423 AMC 41224 a

1 in accordance with actuarial recommendations.
2     The Board shall determine the amount of State contributions
3 required for each fiscal year on the basis of the actuarial
4 tables and other assumptions adopted by the Board and the
5 recommendations of the actuary, using the formula in subsection
6 (a-1).
7     (a-1) For State fiscal years 2011 through 2045, the minimum
8 contribution to the System to be made by the State for each
9 fiscal year shall be an amount determined by the System to be
10 sufficient to bring the total assets of the System up to 90% of
11 the total actuarial liabilities of the System by the end of
12 State fiscal year 2045. In making these determinations, the
13 required State contribution shall be calculated each year as a
14 level percentage of payroll over the years remaining to and
15 including fiscal year 2045 and shall be determined under the
16 projected unit credit actuarial cost method.
17     For State fiscal years 1996 through 2005, the State
18 contribution to the System, as a percentage of the applicable
19 employee payroll, shall be increased in equal annual increments
20 so that by State fiscal year 2011, the State is contributing at
21 the rate required under this Section.
22     Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article, the
23 total required State contribution for State fiscal year 2006 is

2     For each of State fiscal years 2008 through 2009, the State
3 contribution to the System, as a percentage of the applicable
4 employee payroll, shall be increased in equal annual increments
5 from the required State contribution for State fiscal year
6 2007, so that by State fiscal year 2011, the State is
7 contributing at the rate otherwise required under this Section.
8     Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article, the
9 total required State contribution for State fiscal year 2010 is
10 $702,514,000 and shall be made from the State Pensions Fund and
11 proceeds of bonds sold in fiscal year 2010 pursuant to Section
12 7.2 of the General Obligation Bond Act, less (i) the pro rata
13 share of bond sale expenses determined by the System's share of
14 total bond proceeds, (ii) any amounts received from the General
15 Revenue Fund in fiscal year 2010, (iii) any reduction in bond
16 proceeds due to the issuance of discounted bonds, if
17 applicable.

19 total required State contribution for State fiscal year 2011 is
20 the amount recertified by the System pursuant to this
21 amendatory Act of the 96th General Assembly. Subject to the

3 bond proceeds, (B) any amounts received from the General
4 Revenue Fund or the State Pensions Fund in fiscal year 2011,
5 and (C) any reduction in bond proceeds due to the issuance of
6 discounted bonds, if applicable. If no bonds are issued
7 directly to the System in accordance with Section 7.2 of the
8 General Obligation Bond Act and if in the sole determination of
9 the Director of the Governor's Office of Management and Budget
10 market conditions do not support the issuance of bonds by
11 negotiated sale in order to make all or a portion of the
12 required contribution, he or she shall so inform the System in
13 writing and the State contribution for fiscal year 2011 shall
14 be only the System's pro rata share, based on the amounts
15 recertified by each System pursuant to this amendatory Act of
16 the 96th General Assembly, of the proceeds of bonds issued,
17 less (A) the pro rata share of bond sale expenses determined by

2 the Budget Stabilization Act or Section 8.12 of the State
3 Finance Act in any fiscal year do not reduce and do not
4 constitute payment of any portion of the minimum State
5 contribution required under this Article in that fiscal year.
6 Such amounts shall not reduce, and shall not be included in the
7 calculation of, the required State contributions under this
8 Article in any future year until the System has reached a
9 funding ratio of at least 90%. A reference in this Article to
10 the "required State contribution" or any substantially similar
11 term does not include or apply to any amounts payable to the
12 System under Section 25 of the Budget Stabilization Act.
13     Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, the

15 fiscal year 2008 and each fiscal year thereafter, as calculated
16 under this Section and certified under Section 15-165, shall

19 Section for that fiscal year if the System had not received any
20 payments under subsection (d) of Section 7.2 of the General
21 Obligation Bond Act, minus (ii) the portion of the State's
22 total debt service payments for that fiscal year on the bonds
23 issued for the purposes of that Section 7.2, as determined and
24 certified by the Comptroller, that is the same as the System's
25 portion of the total moneys distributed under subsection (d) of

09600SB3514ham001 - 61 - LRB096 18423 AMC 41224 a

1 this maximum for State fiscal years 2008 through 2010, however,
2 the amount referred to in item (i) shall be increased, as a
3 percentage of the applicable employee payroll, in equal
4 increments calculated from the sum of the required State
5 contribution for State fiscal year 2007 plus the applicable
6 portion of the State's total debt service payments for fiscal
7 year 2007 on the bonds issued for the purposes of Section 7.2
8 of the General Obligation Bond Act, so that, by State fiscal
9 year 2011, the State is contributing at the rate otherwise
10 required under this Section.
11     (b) If an employee is paid from trust or federal funds, the
12 employer shall pay to the Board contributions from those funds
13 which are sufficient to cover the accruing normal costs on
14 behalf of the employee. However, universities having employees
15 who are compensated out of local auxiliary funds, income funds,
16 or service enterprise funds are not required to pay such
17 contributions on behalf of those employees. The local auxiliary
18 funds, income funds, and service enterprise funds of
19 universities shall not be considered trust funds for the
20 purpose of this Article, but funds of alumni associations,
21 foundations, and athletic associations which are affiliated
22 with the universities included as employers under this Article
23 and other employers which do not receive State appropriations
24 are considered to be trust funds for the purpose of this
25 Article.

3 System pursuant to subsection (h) of Section 15-107. The rate
4 of contributions to be made by those municipalities shall be
5 determined annually by the Board on the basis of the actuarial
6 assumptions adopted by the Board and the recommendations of the
7 actuary, and shall be expressed as a percentage of salary for
8 each such employee. The Board shall certify the rate to the
9 affected municipalities as soon as may be practical. The
10 employer contributions required under this subsection shall be
11 remitted by the municipality to the System at the same time and
12 in the same manner as employee contributions.
13     (c) Through State fiscal year 1995: The total employer
14 contribution shall be apportioned among the various funds of
15 the State and other employers, whether trust, federal, or other
16 funds, in accordance with actuarial procedures approved by the
17 Board. State of Illinois contributions for employers receiving
18 State appropriations for personal services shall be payable
19 from appropriations made to the employers or to the System. The
20 contributions for Class I community colleges covering earnings
21 other than those paid from trust and federal funds, shall be
22 payable solely from appropriations to the Illinois Community
23 College Board or the System for employer contributions.
24     (d) Beginning in State fiscal year 1996, the required State
25 contributions to the System shall be appropriated directly to
26 the System and shall be payable through vouchers issued in

5 employer in accordance with the appropriation laws and this
6 Code.
7     (f) Normal costs under this Section means liability for
8 pensions and other benefits which accrues to the System because
9 of the credits earned for service rendered by the participants
10 during the fiscal year and expenses of administering the
11 System, but shall not include the principal of or any
12 redemption premium or interest on any bonds issued by the Board
13 or any expenses incurred or deposits required in connection
14 therewith.
15     (g) If the amount of a participant's earnings for any
16 academic year used to determine the final rate of earnings,
17 determined on a full-time equivalent basis, exceeds the amount
18 of his or her earnings with the same employer for the previous
19 academic year, determined on a full-time equivalent basis, by
20 more than 6%, the participant's employer shall pay to the
21 System, in addition to all other payments required under this
22 Section and in accordance with guidelines established by the
23 System, the present value of the increase in benefits resulting
24 from the portion of the increase in earnings that is in excess
25 of 6%. This present value shall be computed by the System on
26 the basis of the actuarial assumptions and tables used in the

 

 

09600SB3514ham001 - 64 - LRB096 18423 AMC 41224 a

1 most recent actuarial valuation of the System that is available
2 at the time of the computation. The System may require the
3 employer to provide any pertinent information or
4 documentation.
5     Whenever it determines that a payment is or may be required
6 under this subsection (g), 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 (h) or (i) of this Section, must include an affidavit setting
15 forth and attesting to all facts within the employer's
16 knowledge that are pertinent to the applicability of subsection
17 (h) or (i). 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 paid
23 within 90 days after receipt of the bill, then interest will be
24 charged at a rate equal to the System's annual actuarially
25 assumed rate of return on investment compounded annually from
26 the 91st day after receipt of the bill. Payments must be

 

 

09600SB3514ham001 - 65 - LRB096 18423 AMC 41224 a

1 concluded within 3 years after the employer's receipt of the
2 bill.
3     (h) This subsection (h) applies only to payments made or
4 salary increases given on or after June 1, 2005 but before July
5 1, 2011. The changes made by Public Act 94-1057 shall not
6 require the System to refund any payments received before July
7 31, 2006 (the effective date of Public Act 94-1057).
8     When assessing payment for any amount due under subsection
9 (g), the System shall exclude earnings increases paid to
10 participants under contracts or collective bargaining
11 agreements entered into, amended, or renewed before June 1,
12 2005.
13     When assessing payment for any amount due under subsection
14 (g), the System shall exclude earnings increases paid to a
15 participant at a time when the participant is 10 or more years
16 from retirement eligibility under Section 15-135.
17     When assessing payment for any amount due under subsection
18 (g), the System shall exclude earnings increases resulting from
19 overload work, including a contract for summer teaching, or
20 overtime when the employer has certified to the System, and the
21 System has approved the certification, that: (i) in the case of
22 overloads (A) the overload work is for the sole purpose of
23 academic instruction in excess of the standard number of
24 instruction hours for a full-time employee occurring during the
25 academic year that the overload is paid and (B) the earnings
26 increases are equal to or less than the rate of pay for

 

 

09600SB3514ham001 - 66 - LRB096 18423 AMC 41224 a

1 academic instruction computed using the participant's current
2 salary rate and work schedule; and (ii) in the case of
3 overtime, the overtime was necessary for the educational
4 mission.

6 (g), the System shall exclude any earnings increase resulting
7 from (i) a promotion for which the employee moves from one
8 classification to a higher classification under the State
9 Universities Civil Service System, (ii) a promotion in academic
10 rank for a tenured or tenure-track faculty position, or (iii) a
11 promotion that the Illinois Community College Board has
12 recommended in accordance with subsection (k) of this Section.
13 These earnings increases shall be excluded only if the
14 promotion is to a position that has existed and been filled by
15 a member for no less than one complete academic year and the
16 earnings increase as a result of the promotion is an increase
17 that results in an amount no greater than the average salary
18 paid for other similar positions.
19     (i) When assessing payment for any amount due under
20 subsection (g), the System shall exclude any salary increase
21 described in subsection (h) of this Section given on or after
22 July 1, 2011 but before July 1, 2014 under a contract or
23 collective bargaining agreement entered into, amended, or
24 renewed on or after June 1, 2005 but before July 1, 2011.
25 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, any
26 payments made or salary increases given after June 30, 2014

19 contribution to the system for a particular year, the actuarial
20 value of assets shall be assumed to earn a rate of return equal
21 to the system's actuarially assumed rate of return.

1     (c) Beginning in State fiscal year 1996, on or as soon as
2 possible after the 15th day of each month the Board shall
3 submit vouchers for payment of State contributions to the
4 System, in a total monthly amount of one-twelfth of the

7 General Assembly through June 30, 2004, the Board shall not
8 submit vouchers for the remainder of fiscal year 2004 in excess
9 of the fiscal year 2004 certified contribution amount
10 determined under this Section after taking into consideration
11 the transfer to the System under subsection (b) of Section
12 6z-61 of the State Finance Act. These vouchers shall be paid by
13 the State Comptroller and Treasurer by warrants drawn on the
14 funds appropriated to the System for that fiscal year.
15     If in any month the amount remaining unexpended from all
16 other appropriations to the System for the applicable fiscal
17 year (including the appropriations to the System under Section

1 employer contribution to the self-managed plan established
2 under Section 15-158.2. Payments shall be applied second toward

8 result of legislative enactment or otherwise, payments
9 sufficient to fully fund the employer contribution to the
10 self-managed plan established under Section 15-158.2 and to
11 fully fund that portion of the employer's portion of the normal
12 costs of the System, as calculated in accordance with Section
13 15-155(a-1), then any payments received shall be applied
14 proportionately to the optional retirement program established
15 under Section 15-158.2 and to the employer's portion of the
16 normal costs of the System, as calculated in accordance with
17 Section 15-155(a-1).

25 State funds of amounts which, together with other employer

 

 

09600SB3514ham001 - 72 - LRB096 18423 AMC 41224 a

1 contributions, employee contributions, investment income, and
2 other income, will be sufficient to meet the cost of
3 maintaining and administering the System on a 90% funded basis
4 in accordance with actuarial recommendations.
5     The Board shall determine the amount of State contributions
6 required for each fiscal year on the basis of the actuarial
7 tables and other assumptions adopted by the Board and the
8 recommendations of the actuary, using the formula in subsection
9 (b-3).
10     (a-1) Annually, on or before November 15, the Board shall
11 certify to the Governor the amount of the required State
12 contribution for the coming fiscal year. The certification
13 shall include a copy of the actuarial recommendations upon
14 which it is based.

24 into account the changes in required State contributions made
25 by this amendatory Act of the 94th General Assembly.

2 contribution to the System for State fiscal year 2011, applying
3 the changes made by Public Act 96-889 to the System's assets
4 and liabilities as of June 30, 2009 as though Public Act 96-889
5 was approved on that date.
6     (b) Through State fiscal year 1995, the State contributions
7 shall be paid to the System in accordance with Section 18-7 of
8 the School Code.
9     (b-1) Beginning in State fiscal year 1996, on the 15th day
10 of each month, or as soon thereafter as may be practicable, the
11 Board shall submit vouchers for payment of State contributions
12 to the System, in a total monthly amount of one-twelfth of the
13 required annual State contribution certified under subsection
14 (a-1). From the effective date of this amendatory Act of the
15 93rd General Assembly through June 30, 2004, the Board shall
16 not submit vouchers for the remainder of fiscal year 2004 in
17 excess of the fiscal year 2004 certified contribution amount
18 determined under this Section after taking into consideration
19 the transfer to the System under subsection (a) of Section
20 6z-61 of the State Finance Act. These vouchers shall be paid by
21 the State Comptroller and Treasurer by warrants drawn on the
22 funds appropriated to the System for that fiscal year.
23     If in any month the amount remaining unexpended from all
24 other appropriations to the System for the applicable fiscal
25 year (including the appropriations to the System under Section
26 8.12 of the State Finance Act and Section 1 of the State

1 Pension Funds Continuing Appropriation Act) is less than the
2 amount lawfully vouchered under this subsection, the
3 difference shall be paid from the Common School Fund under the
4 continuing appropriation authority provided in Section 1.1 of
5 the State Pension Funds Continuing Appropriation Act.
6     (b-2) Allocations from the Common School Fund apportioned
7 to school districts not coming under this System shall not be
8 diminished or affected by the provisions of this Article.
9     (b-3) For State fiscal years 2011 through 2045, the minimum
10 contribution to the System to be made by the State for each
11 fiscal year shall be an amount determined by the System to be
12 sufficient to bring the total assets of the System up to 90% of
13 the total actuarial liabilities of the System by the end of
14 State fiscal year 2045. In making these determinations, the
15 required State contribution shall be calculated each year as a
16 level percentage of payroll over the years remaining to and
17 including fiscal year 2045 and shall be determined under the
18 projected unit credit actuarial cost method.
19     For State fiscal years 1996 through 2005, the State
20 contribution to the System, as a percentage of the applicable
21 employee payroll, shall be increased in equal annual increments
22 so that by State fiscal year 2011, the State is contributing at
23 the rate required under this Section; except that in the
24 following specified State fiscal years, the State contribution
25 to the System shall not be less than the following indicated
26 percentages of the applicable employee payroll, even if the

 

 

09600SB3514ham001 - 75 - LRB096 18423 AMC 41224 a

1 indicated percentage will produce a State contribution in
2 excess of the amount otherwise required under this subsection
3 and subsection (a), and notwithstanding any contrary
4 certification made under subsection (a-1) before the effective
5 date of this amendatory Act of 1998: 10.02% in FY 1999; 10.77%
6 in FY 2000; 11.47% in FY 2001; 12.16% in FY 2002; 12.86% in FY
7 2003; and 13.56% in FY 2004.
8     Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article, the
9 total required State contribution for State fiscal year 2006 is
10 $534,627,700.
11     Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article, the
12 total required State contribution for State fiscal year 2007 is
13 $738,014,500.
14     For each of State fiscal years 2008 through 2009, the State
15 contribution to the System, as a percentage of the applicable
16 employee payroll, shall be increased in equal annual increments
17 from the required State contribution for State fiscal year
18 2007, so that by State fiscal year 2011, the State is
19 contributing at the rate otherwise required under this Section.
20     Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article, the
21 total required State contribution for State fiscal year 2010 is
22 $2,089,268,000 and shall be made from the proceeds of bonds
23 sold in fiscal year 2010 pursuant to Section 7.2 of the General
24 Obligation Bond Act, less (i) the pro rata share of bond sale
25 expenses determined by the System's share of total bond
26 proceeds, (ii) any amounts received from the Common School Fund

 

 

09600SB3514ham001 - 76 - LRB096 18423 AMC 41224 a

1 in fiscal year 2010, and (iii) any reduction in bond proceeds
2 due to the issuance of discounted bonds, if applicable.
3     Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article, the
4 total required State contribution for State fiscal year 2011 is
5 the amount recertified by the System pursuant to this
6 amendatory Act of the 96th General Assembly. Subject to the
7 requirements of Section 7.2 of the General Obligation Bond Act,
8 the State contribution for fiscal year 2011 may be made through
9 any combination of (i) the transfer of bonds to the System in
10 fiscal year 2011 and (ii) the proceeds of bonds sold by
11 negotiated sale in fiscal year 2011 pursuant to Section 7.2 of
12 the General Obligation Bond Act, less (A) the pro rata share of
13 bond sale expenses determined by the System's share of total
14 bond proceeds, (B) any amounts received from the General
15 Revenue Fund, the Common School Fund, or the State Pensions
16 Fund in fiscal year 2011, and (C) any reduction in bond
17 proceeds due to the issuance of discounted bonds, if
18 applicable. If no bonds are issued directly to the System in
19 accordance with Section 7.2 of the General Obligation Bond Act
20 and if in the sole determination of the Director of the
21 Governor's Office of Management and Budget market conditions do
22 not support the issuance of bonds by negotiated sale in order
23 to make all or a portion of the required contribution, he or
24 she shall so inform the System in writing and the State
25 contribution for fiscal year 2011 shall be only the System's
26 pro rata share, based on the amounts recertified by each System

 

 

09600SB3514ham001 - 77 - LRB096 18423 AMC 41224 a

1 pursuant to this amendatory Act of the 96th General Assembly,
2 of the proceeds of bonds issued, less (A) the pro rata share of
3 bond sale expenses determined by the System's share of total
4 bond proceeds, (B) any amounts received from the General
5 Revenue Fund, the Common School Fund, or the State Pensions
6 Fund in fiscal year 2011, and (C) any reduction in bond
7 proceeds due to the issuance of discounted bonds, if
8 applicable.
9     Beginning in State fiscal year 2046, the minimum State
10 contribution for each fiscal year shall be the amount needed to
11 maintain the total assets of the System at 90% of the total
12 actuarial liabilities of the System.
13     Amounts received by the System pursuant to Section 25 of
14 the Budget Stabilization Act or Section 8.12 of the State
15 Finance Act in any fiscal year do not reduce and do not
16 constitute payment of any portion of the minimum State
17 contribution required under this Article in that fiscal year.
18 Such amounts shall not reduce, and shall not be included in the
19 calculation of, the required State contributions under this
20 Article in any future year until the System has reached a
21 funding ratio of at least 90%. A reference in this Article to
22 the "required State contribution" or any substantially similar
23 term does not include or apply to any amounts payable to the
24 System under Section 25 of the Budget Stabilization Act.
25     Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, the
26 required State contribution for State fiscal year 2005 and for

 

 

09600SB3514ham001 - 78 - LRB096 18423 AMC 41224 a

1 fiscal year 2008 and each fiscal year thereafter, as calculated
2 under this Section and certified under subsection (a-1), shall
3 not exceed an amount equal to (i) the amount of the required
4 State contribution that would have been calculated under this
5 Section for that fiscal year if the System had not received any
6 payments under subsection (d) of Section 7.2 of the General
7 Obligation Bond Act, minus (ii) the portion of the State's
8 total debt service payments for that fiscal year on the bonds
9 issued for the purposes of that Section 7.2, as determined and
10 certified by the Comptroller, that is the same as the System's
11 portion of the total moneys distributed under subsection (d) of
12 Section 7.2 of the General Obligation Bond Act. In determining
13 this maximum for State fiscal years 2008 through 2010, however,
14 the amount referred to in item (i) shall be increased, as a
15 percentage of the applicable employee payroll, in equal
16 increments calculated from the sum of the required State
17 contribution for State fiscal year 2007 plus the applicable
18 portion of the State's total debt service payments for fiscal
19 year 2007 on the bonds issued for the purposes of Section 7.2
20 of the General Obligation Bond Act, so that, by State fiscal
21 year 2011, the State is contributing at the rate otherwise
22 required under this Section.
23     (c) Payment of the required State contributions and of all
24 pensions, retirement annuities, death benefits, refunds, and
25 other benefits granted under or assumed by this System, and all
26 expenses in connection with the administration and operation

 

 

09600SB3514ham001 - 79 - LRB096 18423 AMC 41224 a

1 thereof, are obligations of the State.
2     If members are paid from special trust or federal funds
3 which are administered by the employing unit, whether school
4 district or other unit, the employing unit shall pay to the
5 System from such funds the full accruing retirement costs based
6 upon that service, as determined by the System. Employer
7 contributions, based on salary paid to members from federal
8 funds, may be forwarded by the distributing agency of the State
9 of Illinois to the System prior to allocation, in an amount
10 determined in accordance with guidelines established by such
11 agency and the System.
12     (d) Effective July 1, 1986, any employer of a teacher as
13 defined in paragraph (8) of Section 16-106 shall pay the
14 employer's normal cost of benefits based upon the teacher's
15 service, in addition to employee contributions, as determined
16 by the System. Such employer contributions shall be forwarded
17 monthly in accordance with guidelines established by the
18 System.
19     However, with respect to benefits granted under Section
20 16-133.4 or 16-133.5 to a teacher as defined in paragraph (8)
21 of Section 16-106, the employer's contribution shall be 12%
22 (rather than 20%) of the member's highest annual salary rate
23 for each year of creditable service granted, and the employer
24 shall also pay the required employee contribution on behalf of
25 the teacher. For the purposes of Sections 16-133.4 and
26 16-133.5, a teacher as defined in paragraph (8) of Section

 

 

09600SB3514ham001 - 80 - LRB096 18423 AMC 41224 a

1 16-106 who is serving in that capacity while on leave of
2 absence from another employer under this Article shall not be
3 considered an employee of the employer from which the teacher
4 is on leave.
5     (e) Beginning July 1, 1998, every employer of a teacher
6 shall pay to the System an employer contribution computed as
7 follows:
8         (1) Beginning July 1, 1998 through June 30, 1999, the
9     employer contribution shall be equal to 0.3% of each
10     teacher's salary.
11         (2) Beginning July 1, 1999 and thereafter, the employer
12     contribution shall be equal to 0.58% of each teacher's
13     salary.
14 The school district or other employing unit may pay these
15 employer contributions out of any source of funding available
16 for that purpose and shall forward the contributions to the
17 System on the schedule established for the payment of member
18 contributions.
19     These employer contributions are intended to offset a
20 portion of the cost to the System of the increases in
21 retirement benefits resulting from this amendatory Act of 1998.
22     Each employer of teachers is entitled to a credit against
23 the contributions required under this subsection (e) with
24 respect to salaries paid to teachers for the period January 1,
25 2002 through June 30, 2003, equal to the amount paid by that
26 employer under subsection (a-5) of Section 6.6 of the State

 

 

09600SB3514ham001 - 81 - LRB096 18423 AMC 41224 a

1 Employees Group Insurance Act of 1971 with respect to salaries
2 paid to teachers for that period.
3     The additional 1% employee contribution required under
4 Section 16-152 by this amendatory Act of 1998 is the
5 responsibility of the teacher and not the teacher's employer,
6 unless the employer agrees, through collective bargaining or
7 otherwise, to make the contribution on behalf of the teacher.
8     If an employer is required by a contract in effect on May
9 1, 1998 between the employer and an employee organization to
10 pay, on behalf of all its full-time employees covered by this
11 Article, all mandatory employee contributions required under
12 this Article, then the employer shall be excused from paying
13 the employer contribution required under this subsection (e)
14 for the balance of the term of that contract. The employer and
15 the employee organization shall jointly certify to the System
16 the existence of the contractual requirement, in such form as
17 the System may prescribe. This exclusion shall cease upon the
18 termination, extension, or renewal of the contract at any time
19 after May 1, 1998.
20     (f) If the amount of a teacher's salary for any school year
21 used to determine final average salary exceeds the member's
22 annual full-time salary rate with the same employer for the
23 previous school year by more than 6%, the teacher's employer
24 shall pay to the System, in addition to all other payments
25 required under this Section and in accordance with guidelines
26 established by the System, the present value of the increase in

 

 

09600SB3514ham001 - 82 - LRB096 18423 AMC 41224 a

1 benefits resulting from the portion of the increase in salary
2 that is in excess of 6%. This present value shall be computed
3 by the System on the basis of the actuarial assumptions and
4 tables used in the most recent actuarial valuation of the
5 System that is available at the time of the computation. If a
6 teacher's salary for the 2005-2006 school year is used to
7 determine final average salary under this subsection (f), then
8 the changes made to this subsection (f) by Public Act 94-1057
9 shall apply in calculating whether the increase in his or her
10 salary is in excess of 6%. For the purposes of this Section,
11 change in employment under Section 10-21.12 of the School Code
12 on or after June 1, 2005 shall constitute a change in employer.
13 The System may require the employer to provide any pertinent
14 information or documentation. The changes made to this
15 subsection (f) by this amendatory Act of the 94th General
16 Assembly apply without regard to whether the teacher was in
17 service on or after its effective date.
18     Whenever it determines that a payment is or may be required
19 under this subsection, the System shall calculate the amount of
20 the payment and bill the employer for that amount. The bill
21 shall specify the calculations used to determine the amount
22 due. If the employer disputes the amount of the bill, it may,
23 within 30 days after receipt of the bill, apply to the System
24 in writing for a recalculation. The application must specify in
25 detail the grounds of the dispute and, if the employer asserts
26 that the calculation is subject to subsection (g) or (h) of

 

 

09600SB3514ham001 - 83 - LRB096 18423 AMC 41224 a

1 this Section, must include an affidavit setting forth and
2 attesting to all facts within the employer's knowledge that are
3 pertinent to the applicability of that subsection. Upon
4 receiving a timely application for recalculation, the System
5 shall review the application and, if appropriate, recalculate
6 the amount due.
7     The employer contributions required under this subsection
8 (f) may be paid in the form of a lump sum within 90 days after
9 receipt of the bill. If the employer contributions are not paid
10 within 90 days after receipt of the bill, then interest will be
11 charged at a rate equal to the System's annual actuarially
12 assumed rate of return on investment compounded annually from
13 the 91st day after receipt of the bill. Payments must be
14 concluded within 3 years after the employer's receipt of the
15 bill.

17 salary increases given on or after June 1, 2005 but before July
18 1, 2011. The changes made by Public Act 94-1057 shall not
19 require the System to refund any payments received before July

3     When assessing payment for any amount due under subsection
4 (f), the System shall exclude salary increases resulting from
5 overload work, including summer school, when the school
6 district has certified to the System, and the System has
7 approved the certification, that (i) the overload work is for
8 the sole purpose of classroom instruction in excess of the
9 standard number of classes for a full-time teacher in a school
10 district during a school year and (ii) the salary increases are
11 equal to or less than the rate of pay for classroom instruction
12 computed on the teacher's current salary and work schedule.
13     When assessing payment for any amount due under subsection
14 (f), the System shall exclude a salary increase resulting from
15 a promotion (i) for which the employee is required to hold a
16 certificate or supervisory endorsement issued by the State
17 Teacher Certification Board that is a different certification
18 or supervisory endorsement than is required for the teacher's
19 previous position and (ii) to a position that has existed and
20 been filled by a member for no less than one complete academic
21 year and the salary increase from the promotion is an increase
22 that results in an amount no greater than the lesser of the
23 average salary paid for other similar positions in the district

5 that the payment is included in the computation of final
6 average salary.
7     (h) When assessing payment for any amount due under
8 subsection (f), the System shall exclude any salary increase
9 described in subsection (g) of this Section given on or after

13 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, any
14 payments made or salary increases given after June 30, 2014

18 the report with the Governor and the General Assembly by
19 January 1, 2007 that contains all of the following information:

21     changes made to this Section by Public Act 94-1057 for each
22     employer.

5     Act 94-1057.
6     (j) For purposes of determining the required State
7 contribution to the System, the value of the System's assets
8 shall be equal to the actuarial value of the System's assets,
9 which shall be calculated as follows:
10     As of June 30, 2008, the actuarial value of the System's
11 assets shall be equal to the market value of the assets as of
12 that date. In determining the actuarial value of the System's
13 assets for fiscal years after June 30, 2008, any actuarial
14 gains or losses from investment return incurred in a fiscal
15 year shall be recognized in equal annual amounts over the
16 5-year period following that fiscal year.
17     (k) For purposes of determining the required State
18 contribution to the system for a particular year, the actuarial
19 value of assets shall be assumed to earn a rate of return equal

6     (b) The Board shall determine the amount of State
7 contributions required for each fiscal year on the basis of the
8 actuarial tables and other assumptions adopted by the Board and
9 the prescribed rate of interest, using the formula in
10 subsection (c).
11     (c) For State fiscal years 2011 through 2045, the minimum
12 contribution to the System to be made by the State for each
13 fiscal year shall be an amount determined by the System to be
14 sufficient to bring the total assets of the System up to 90% of
15 the total actuarial liabilities of the System by the end of
16 State fiscal year 2045. In making these determinations, the
17 required State contribution shall be calculated each year as a
18 level percentage of payroll over the years remaining to and
19 including fiscal year 2045 and shall be determined under the
20 projected unit credit actuarial cost method.
21     For State fiscal years 1996 through 2005, the State
22 contribution to the System, as a percentage of the applicable
23 employee payroll, shall be increased in equal annual increments
24 so that by State fiscal year 2011, the State is contributing at
25 the rate required under this Section.

7 contribution to the System, as a percentage of the applicable
8 employee payroll, shall be increased in equal annual increments
9 from the required State contribution for State fiscal year
10 2007, so that by State fiscal year 2011, the State is
11 contributing at the rate otherwise required under this Section.
12     Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article, the
13 total required State contribution for State fiscal year 2010 is
14 $78,832,000 and shall be made from the proceeds of bonds sold

7 bond proceeds, (B) any amounts received from the General
8 Revenue Fund or the State Pensions Fund in fiscal year 2011,
9 and (C) any reduction in bond proceeds due to the issuance of
10 discounted bonds, if applicable. If no bonds are issued
11 directly to the System in accordance with Section 7.2 of the
12 General Obligation Bond Act and if in the sole determination of
13 the Director of the Governor's Office of Management and Budget
14 market conditions do not support the issuance of bonds by
15 negotiated sale in order to make all or a portion of the
16 required contribution, he or she shall so inform the System in
17 writing and the State contribution for fiscal year 2011 shall
18 be only the System's pro rata share, based on the amounts

1     Beginning in State fiscal year 2046, the minimum State
2 contribution for each fiscal year shall be the amount needed to
3 maintain the total assets of the System at 90% of the total
4 actuarial liabilities of the System.
5     Amounts received by the System pursuant to Section 25 of
6 the Budget Stabilization Act or Section 8.12 of the State
7 Finance Act in any fiscal year do not reduce and do not
8 constitute payment of any portion of the minimum State
9 contribution required under this Article in that fiscal year.
10 Such amounts shall not reduce, and shall not be included in the
11 calculation of, the required State contributions under this
12 Article in any future year until the System has reached a
13 funding ratio of at least 90%. A reference in this Article to
14 the "required State contribution" or any substantially similar
15 term does not include or apply to any amounts payable to the
16 System under Section 25 of the Budget Stabilization Act.
17     Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, the
18 required State contribution for State fiscal year 2005 and for
19 fiscal year 2008 and each fiscal year thereafter, as calculated
20 under this Section and certified under Section 18-140, shall

2 certified by the Comptroller, that is the same as the System's
3 portion of the total moneys distributed under subsection (d) of
4 Section 7.2 of the General Obligation Bond Act. In determining
5 this maximum for State fiscal years 2008 through 2010, however,
6 the amount referred to in item (i) shall be increased, as a
7 percentage of the applicable employee payroll, in equal
8 increments calculated from the sum of the required State
9 contribution for State fiscal year 2007 plus the applicable
10 portion of the State's total debt service payments for fiscal
11 year 2007 on the bonds issued for the purposes of Section 7.2
12 of the General Obligation Bond Act, so that, by State fiscal
13 year 2011, the State is contributing at the rate otherwise
14 required under this Section.
15     (d) For purposes of determining the required State
16 contribution to the System, the value of the System's assets
17 shall be equal to the actuarial value of the System's assets,
18 which shall be calculated as follows:
19     As of June 30, 2008, the actuarial value of the System's
20 assets shall be equal to the market value of the assets as of
21 that date. In determining the actuarial value of the System's

23 gains or losses from investment return incurred in a fiscal
24 year shall be recognized in equal annual amounts over the
25 5-year period following that fiscal year.

7 submit vouchers for payment of State contributions to the
