AN ACT concerning local government.
| ||||
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,

| ||||
Section 5. The Illinois Municipal Code is amended by | ||||

| ||||
alderman, trustee, clerk, or
treasurer shall not hold
any other | ||||

| ||||

| ||||
(65 ILCS 5/8-2-9.1) (from Ch. 24, par. 8-2-9.1)
| ||||
Sec. 8-2-9.1. Budget officer. Every municipality with a | ||||
population of
less than 500,000
(except special charter | ||||
municipalities having a population in excess of
50,000) that | ||||
has adopted this Section 8-2-9.1 and Sections
8-2-9.2
through | ||||
8-2-9.10 by a two-thirds majority vote of those members of the
| ||||
corporate authorities then holding office shall have a budget | ||||
officer who
shall be designated by the mayor or president, with | ||
the approval of the
corporate authorities. In municipalities | ||
operating
under the
commission form of government, the | ||
commissioner of accounts and
finances shall designate the | ||
budget officer,
with the approval of the council or board of | ||
trustees, as the case may
be. In municipalities with a | ||
managerial form of government, the
municipal
manager shall | ||
designate the budget officer. The budget officer shall
take an | ||
oath and post a bond as provided in
Section 3.1-10-25. The | ||
budget officer may hold another municipal
office,
either | ||
elected or appointed (including, but not limited to, the office | ||
of mayor or president in municipalities with a population under | ||
10,000), and may receive compensation for both offices except | ||
when a mayor or president in a municipality with a population | ||
under 10,000 is also the budget officer.
Article 10 of this | ||
Code shall not apply to an individual serving as the
budget | ||
officer. The budget officer shall serve at the pleasure of
the
| ||
mayor or municipal manager, as the case may be.
