(70 ILCS 1807/110)
Sec. 110.
Resignation and removal of Board members; vacancies.
Members of the Board shall hold office until their respective successors have
been
appointed and qualified. Any member may resign from his or her office, to take
effect
when his or her successor has been appointed and has qualified. The Governor
and the
county boards may remove any member of the Board appointed by them in case of
incompetency, neglect of duty, or malfeasance in office. They shall give the
member
a copy of the charges against him or her and an opportunity to be publicly
heard in
person or by counsel in his or her own defense upon not less than 10 days'
notice. In
case of failure to qualify within the time required, of abandonment of office,
or of death,
conviction of a crime, or removal from office, the office shall become vacant.
Each
vacancy shall be filled for the unexpired term by appointment in like manner,
and with
like regard as to the place of residence of the appointee, as in case of
expiration of the
term of a member of the Board.
