| ||||
AN ACT concerning local government.
| ||||
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||
represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||
Section 5. The Counties Code is amended by changing | ||||
Sections 3-1001 and 3-1002 as follows:
| ||||
(55 ILCS 5/3-1001) (from Ch. 34, par. 3-1001)
| ||||
Sec. 3-1001. Auditors in counties of 70,000 75,000 to | ||||
3,000,000. In all
counties containing less than 3,000,000 and | ||||
over 70,000 75,000 inhabitants by the
last federal census, | ||||
there is created the office of county auditor, whose
term of | ||||
office shall be 4 years and until his or her successor is | ||||
elected and
qualified. The nomination and election shall be | ||||
subject to the general
election laws of the State. Each county | ||||
auditor shall take office the first
day of the month following | ||||
the month of his or her election on which the office of
the | ||||
county auditor is required, by statute or by action of the | ||||
county
board, to be open. The qualifications and oath of | ||||
office shall be the same
as apply to other county officers. | ||||
Each county auditor shall, before
entering upon the duties of | ||||
the office, give bond (or, if the county is
self-insured, the | ||||
county through its self-insurance program may provide
bonding) | ||||
in such penalty and with such security as the county board | ||||
deems
sufficient, which bond shall be substantially in the | ||||
form required by law to be
given by the county clerk. Such bond | ||
shall be filed with the county clerk on or
before the day the | ||
county auditor takes office. In case of a vacancy in the
office | ||
of county auditor caused by death, resignation, or removal | ||
from office,
the vacancy shall be filled as provided for | ||
filling vacancies of other county
offices. If the auditor is | ||
temporarily unable to perform his or her duties for
any | ||
reason, the deputy auditor, if there is one, shall assume the | ||
duties of the
auditor until the auditor is able to resume his | ||
or her duties or until a
replacement for the auditor is chosen.
