| ||||
Sec. 5-1106. County offices, equipment and expenditures. | ||||
It
shall be the duty of the county board of each county:
| ||||
First--To erect or otherwise provide when necessary, and | ||||

buildings, and to provide proper rooms and
offices for the | ||||
accommodation of the county board, State's attorney, county
| ||||
clerk, county treasurer, recorder and sheriff, and to provide | ||||
suitable
furniture therefor. But in counties not under township | ||||
organization, no
appropriations shall be made for the erection | ||||
of public buildings, without
first submitting the proposition | ||||
to a vote of the people of the county, and
the vote shall be | ||||
submitted in the same manner and under the same
restrictions as | ||||
provided for in like cases in Section 5-2001; and the
votes | ||||
therefor shall be "For taxation," specifying the object, and | ||||
those
against shall be "Against taxation," specifying the | ||||
object.
| ||||
Second--To provide and keep in repair, when the finances of | ||
the county
permit, suitable fireproof safes or offices for the | ||

| ||
Fourth--To cause to be published at the close of each | ||

statement of the proceedings thereof
in one or more newspapers | ||
published in the county, in which shall be set
forth the name | ||
of every individual who shall have had any account audited
and | ||
allowed by the board and the amount of such claim as allowed, | ||
and the
amount claimed, and also their proceedings upon the | ||
equalization of the
assessment roll: Provided, that no | ||
publication in a newspaper shall be
required unless the same | ||
can be done without unreasonable expense.
| ||
Fifth--To make out at its meeting in September, annually, a | ||
full and
accurate statement of the receipts and expenditures of | ||
the preceding year,
which statement shall contain a full and | ||
correct description of each item,
from whom and on what account | ||
received, to whom paid, and on what account
expended, together | ||
with an accurate statement of the finances of the county
at the | ||
end of the fiscal year, including all debts and liabilities of | ||
every
description, and the assets and other means to discharge | ||
the same; and
within 30 days thereafter to cause the same to be | ||
posted up at the court
house door, and at 2 other places in the | ||
county, and published for one week
in some newspaper therein, | ||
if there is one, and the same can be done
without unreasonable | ||
expense.
| ||

shall include at least one lactation room or area for members | ||
of the public to express breast milk in private that is located | ||
outside the confines of a restroom and includes, at minimum, a | ||
chair, a table, and an electrical outlet, as well as a sink | ||
with running water where possible. The court rooms
and | ||
furnishings thereof shall meet with reasonable minimum | ||
standards
prescribed by the Supreme Court of Illinois. Such | ||
standards shall be
substantially the same as those generally | ||
accepted in court rooms as to
general furnishings, arrangement | ||
of bench, tables and chairs, cleanliness,
convenience to | ||
litigants, decorations, lighting and other such matters
| ||
relating to the physical appearance of the court room. The | ||
lactation rooms and areas shall also meet with reasonable | ||
minimum standards prescribed by the Supreme Court, which the | ||
Supreme Court is respectfully requested to create, including | ||
requirements for posting of notice to the public regarding | ||
location and access to lactation rooms and areas, as well as | ||
requirements for the addition of a sink with running water in | ||
the event of renovation to such facilities. The Supreme Court | ||
is also respectfully requested to create minimum standards for | ||
training of courthouse staff and personnel regarding location | ||
and access to lactation rooms and areas for all people present | ||
in the courthouse who need to use lactation rooms and areas.
