(SULLIVAN-RADOGNO-GEO-KARIS-MOLARO-TROTTER) 820 ILCS 315/3 from Ch. 48, par. 283 Amends the Law Enforcement Officers, Civil Defense Workers, Civil Air Patrol Members, Paramedics, Firemen, Chaplains, and State Employees Compensation Act. Provides that beginning on the effective date of the amendatory Act and until January 1, 2003, the death benefit paid to the person designated by a covered official or employee shall be $118,000 (rather than $100,000). Provides that beginning January 1, 2003, the death compensation rate shall be increased on January 1 of each year by an amount equal to 3% of the compensation amount payable for a death occurring in the previous year. Effective immediately. FISCAL NOTE (Court of Claims) The Court of Claims pays a $100,000 death benefit to surviving spouse or other designated survivors of covered officials and employees (including law enforcement officials and firemen) who are killed in the line of duty. The Court awarded 6 claims ($600,000) in FY 99, 7 claims ($700,000) in FY 00 and, to date, 8 claims ($800,000) in FY 01. The fiscal impact of the increase provided in HB 3033 would depend on the actural number of future claims. Each claim awarded would cost the State an addi- tional $18,000 and a greater amount, annually, each year after 12/30/02. HOUSE AMENDMENT NO. 1. Deletes everything. Reinserts the provisions of the original bill with changes. Changes the annual increase in the death compensation rate from 3% to a percentage based on the federal Employment Cost Index for state and local government workers in public administration.
