A BILL FOR
HB3895 LRB103 30388 AWJ 56818 b
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 Prohibited Activities Act is
amended by changing Section 2a as follows:
(50 ILCS 105/2a) (from Ch. 102, par. 2a)
Sec. 2a. Township officials.
(a) No township supervisor or trustee, during the term of
office for which he or she is elected, may accept, be appointed
to, or hold any office by the appointment of the board of
township trustees unless he or she first resigns from the
office of supervisor or trustee or unless the appointment is
specifically authorized by law. A supervisor or trustee may,
however, serve as a volunteer firefighter and receive
compensation for that service. Any appointment in violation of
this Section is void. Nothing in this Act shall be construed to
prohibit an elected township official from holding elected
office in another unit of local government as long as there is
no contractual relationship between the township and the other
unit of local government, except that a township supervisor
shall not serve as a county board member without resigning
from the office of supervisor. This amendatory Act of 1995 is
declarative of existing law and is not a new enactment.

HB3895 - 2 - LRB103 30388 AWJ 56818 b
(b) On and after the effective date of this amendatory Act
of the 100th General Assembly, a person elected to or
appointed to fill a vacancy in an elected township position,
including, but not limited to, a trustee, a supervisor, a
highway commissioner, a clerk, an assessor, or a collector,
shall not be employed by the township, except that a
supervisor or trustee may serve as a volunteer firefighter and
receive compensation for that service as provided in
subsection (a).
