10 | office for which he or
she is elected, may accept, be appointed | ||||||
11 | to, or hold any office
by the appointment of the board of | ||||||
12 | township trustees unless he or
she first resigns from the | ||||||
13 | office of supervisor or trustee or
unless the appointment is | ||||||
14 | specifically authorized by law. A
supervisor or trustee may, | ||||||
15 | however, serve as a volunteer firefighter fireman
and receive | ||||||
16 | compensation for that service. Any appointment in
violation of | ||||||
17 | this Section is void.

official from holding elected | ||||||
19 | office in another unit of local government as
long as there is | ||||||
20 | no contractual relationship between the township and the other
| ||||||
21 | unit of local government. This amendatory Act of 1995 is | ||||||
22 | declarative of
existing law and is not a new enactment. | ||||||
23 | (b) On and after the effective date of this amendatory Act |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | of the 100th General Assembly, a person elected to or appointed | ||||||
2 | to fill a vacancy in an elected township position, including, | ||||||
3 | but not limited to, a trustee, a supervisor, a highway | ||||||
4 | commissioner, a clerk, an assessor, or a collector, shall not | ||||||
5 | be employed by the township, except that a supervisor or | ||||||
6 | trustee may serve as a volunteer firefighter
and receive | ||||||
7 | compensation for that service as provided in subsection (a).

provision of the | ||||||
14 | preceding sections, is guilty of a Class 4 felony and in
| ||||||
15 | addition thereto, any office or official position held by any | ||||||
16 | person so
convicted shall become vacant, and shall be so | ||||||
17 | declared as part of the
judgment of court. This Section does | ||||||
18 | not apply to a violation of subsection (b) of Section 2a.
