    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,

    Section 5. The Public Officer Prohibited Activities Act is 
amended  by changing Section 1 as follows:
 



    (50 ILCS 105/1)  (from Ch. 102, par. 1)


    Sec. 1. County board. No member of a county board, during 
the term of
office for which
he or she is elected, may be 
appointed to, accept, or hold any office other
than (i) 
chairman of the county board or member of the regional planning

commission by appointment or election of the board of which he 
or she is a
member, (ii) alderman of a city or member of the 
board of trustees of a
village or incorporated town if the 
city, village, or incorporated town has
fewer than 1,000 
inhabitants and is located in a county having fewer than
50,000 
inhabitants, or (iii) trustee of a forest preserve  district 
created under Section 18.5 of the Conservation District Act, 
unless he or she first resigns from the office
of county board

member or unless the holding of another office is authorized by 
law.
Any such prohibited appointment or election is void. This 
Section shall not
preclude a member of the county board from 
being appointed or selected to serve as (i) selected or from 
serving as a member of a County
Extension
Board as provided in 
Section 7 of the County Cooperative Extension Law, (ii)
as a 
member of an Emergency Telephone System Board as provided in 
Section
15.4 of the Emergency Telephone System Act, (iii) a 
member or as appointed members of the
board of review as 
provided in Section 6-30 of the Property Tax Code, or (iv) a 
public administrator or public guardian as provided in Section 
13-1 of the Probate Act of 1975.
Nothing in this Act shall be 
construed to prohibit an elected county official
from holding 
elected office in another unit of local government so long as

there is no contractual relationship between the county and the 
other unit of
local government.  This amendatory Act of 1995 is 
declarative of existing law
and is not a new enactment.
