AN ACT concerning local government.
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
Section 5. The Public Officer Simultaneous Tenure Act is
amended by changing Section 1 as follows:
(50 ILCS 110/1) (from Ch. 102, par. 4.10)
Sec. 1. Legislative findings; purpose). The The General
Assembly finds and declares that questions raised regarding the
legality of simultaneously holding the office of county board
member and township supervisor are unwarranted, and in counties
of less than 100,000 population such questions regarding the
legality of simultaneously holding the office of county board
member and township trustee are unwarranted; that the General
Assembly viewed the office of township supervisor, and in
counties of less than 100,000 population the office of township
trustee, and the office of county board member as compatible;
and that to settle the question of legality and avoid confusion
among such counties and townships as may be affected by such
questions it is lawful to hold the office of county board
member simultaneously with the office of township supervisor,
and in counties of less than 100,000 population with the office
of township trustee, in accordance with this Act.
