| |||||||
| 1 | AN ACT concerning local government.
| ||||||
| 2 | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||||
| 3 | represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||||
| 4 | Section 5. The Public Officer Prohibited Activities Act is | ||||||
| 5 | amended by changing Section 1 as follows:
| ||||||
| 6 | (50 ILCS 105/1) (from Ch. 102, par. 1)
| ||||||
| 7 | Sec. 1. County board. No member of a county board, during | ||||||
| 8 | the term of
office for which
he or she is elected, may be | ||||||
| 9 | appointed to, accept, or hold any office other
than (i) | ||||||
| 10 | chairman of the county board or member of the regional planning
| ||||||
| 11 | commission by appointment or election of the board of which he | ||||||
| 12 | or she is a
member, (ii) alderman of a city or member of the | ||||||
| 13 | board of trustees of a
village or incorporated town if the | ||||||
| 14 | city, village, or incorporated town has
fewer than 1,000 | ||||||
| 15 | inhabitants and is located in a county having fewer than
50,000 | ||||||
| 16 | inhabitants, or (iii) trustee of a forest preserve district | ||||||
| 17 | created under Section 18.5 of the Conservation District Act, | ||||||
| 18 | unless he or she first resigns from the office
of county board
| ||||||
| 19 | member or unless the holding of another office is authorized by | ||||||
| 20 | law.
Any such prohibited appointment or election is void. This | ||||||
| 21 | Section shall not
preclude a member of the county board from | ||||||
| 22 | being appointed or selected to serve as (i) a member of a | ||||||
| 23 | County
Extension
Board as provided in Section 7 of the County | ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | Cooperative Extension Law, (ii)
a member of an Emergency | ||||||
| 2 | Telephone System Board as provided in Section
15.4 of the | ||||||
| 3 | Emergency Telephone System Act, (iii) a member of the
board of | ||||||
| 4 | review as provided in Section 6-30 of the Property Tax Code, or | ||||||
| 5 | (iv) a public administrator or public guardian as provided in | ||||||
| 6 | Section 13-1 of the Probate Act of 1975, or (v) a park district | ||||||
| 7 | commissioner in a county of less than 300,000.
Nothing in this | ||||||
| 8 | Act shall be construed to prohibit an elected county official
| ||||||
| 9 | from holding elected office in another unit of local government | ||||||
| 10 | so long as
there is no contractual relationship between the | ||||||
| 11 | county and the other unit of
local government. This amendatory | ||||||
| 12 | Act of 1995 is declarative of existing law
and is not a new | ||||||
| 13 | enactment.
| ||||||
| 14 | (Source: P.A. 100-290, eff. 8-24-17.)
| ||||||
| 15 | Section 99. Effective date. This Act takes effect upon | ||||||
| 16 | becoming law.
