| Public Act 100-0868 | ||||
| ||||
| ||||
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 Sections 2a and 4 as follows:
| ||||
(50 ILCS 105/2a) (from Ch. 102, par. 2a)
| ||||
Sec. 2a. Township officials Township supervisors and | ||||
trustees. | ||||
(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 fireman
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. This amendatory Act of 1995 is | ||||
declarative of
existing law and is not a new enactment. | ||||
(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).
| ||

| ||
(50 ILCS 105/4) (from Ch. 102, par. 4)
| ||
Sec. 4.
Any alderman, member of a board of trustees, | ||
supervisor or county
commissioner, or other person holding any | ||
office, either by election or
appointment under the laws or | ||
constitution of this state, who violates any
provision of the | ||
preceding sections, is guilty of a Class 4 felony and in
| ||
addition thereto, any office or official position held by any | ||
person so
convicted shall become vacant, and shall be so | ||
declared as part of the
judgment of court. This Section does | ||
not apply to a violation of subsection (b) of Section 2a.
