| 1 | AMENDMENT TO HOUSE BILL 653 | ||||||
| 2 | AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend House Bill 653 by replacing | ||||||
| 3 | everything after the enacting clause with the following: | ||||||
| 4 | "Section 5. The Public Officer Prohibited Activities Act | ||||||
| 5 | is amended by changing Section 2 as follows: | ||||||
| 6 | (50 ILCS 105/2) (from Ch. 102, par. 2) | ||||||
| 7 | Sec. 2. No alderperson of any city, or member of the board | ||||||
| 8 | of trustees of any village, during the term of office for which | ||||||
| 9 | he or she is elected, may accept, be appointed to, or hold any | ||||||
| 10 | office by the appointment of the mayor or president of the | ||||||
| 11 | board of trustees, unless the alderperson or board member is | ||||||
| 12 | granted a leave of absence from such office, or unless he or | ||||||
| 13 | she first resigns from the office of alderperson or member of | ||||||
| 14 | the board of trustees, or unless the holding of another office | ||||||
| 15 | is authorized by law. The alderperson or board member may, | ||||||
| 16 | however, serve as a volunteer fireman or as an emergency | ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | worker and may receive compensation for that service. The | ||||||
| 2 | alderperson may also serve as a commissioner of the Beardstown | ||||||
| 3 | Regional Flood Prevention District board. Any appointment in | ||||||
| 4 | violation of this Section is void. Nothing in this Act shall be | ||||||
| 5 | construed to prohibit an elected municipal official from | ||||||
| 6 | holding elected office in another unit of local government as | ||||||
| 7 | long as there is no contractual relationship between the | ||||||
| 8 | municipality and the other unit of local government. This | ||||||
| 9 | amendatory Act of 1995 is declarative of existing law and is | ||||||
| 10 | not a new enactment. | ||||||
| 11 | (Source: P.A. 102-15, eff. 6-17-21.) | ||||||
| 12 | Section 10. The Illinois Municipal Code is amended by | ||||||
| 13 | changing Section 3.1-15-15 as follows: | ||||||
| 14 | (65 ILCS 5/3.1-15-15) (from Ch. 24, par. 3.1-15-15) | ||||||
| 15 | Sec. 3.1-15-15. Holding other offices. A mayor, president, | ||||||
| 16 | alderperson, trustee, clerk, or treasurer shall not hold any | ||||||
| 17 | other office under the municipal government during the term of | ||||||
| 18 | that office, except when the officer is granted a leave of | ||||||
| 19 | absence from that office or except as otherwise provided in | ||||||
| 20 | Sections 3.1-10-50, 3.1-35-135, and 8-2-9.1. Moreover, an | ||||||
| 21 | officer may serve as a volunteer fireman or as an emergency | ||||||
| 22 | worker and may receive compensation for that service. | ||||||
