3 Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
4 represented in the General Assembly:

6 changing Section 4 as follows:
7 (25 ILCS 120/4) (from Ch. 63, par. 904)
8 Sec. 4. Meetings of the Board; determining compensation;
9 public hearings; reports. The Board shall meet as often as
10 may be necessary and shall determine, upon a vote requiring
11 at least 7 affirmative votes, the compensation for members of
12 the General Assembly, judges, other than the county
13 supplement, State's attorneys, other than the county
14 supplement, the elected constitutional officers of State
15 government, and certain appointed officers of State

19 factors:
20 (a) the skill required,
21 (b) the time required,
22 (c) the opportunity for other earned income,
23 (d) the value of public services as performed in

1 (h) the interests and welfare of the public and the
2 financial ability of the State to meet those costs, and
3 (i) such other factors, not confined to the foregoing,
4 which are normally or traditionally taken into consideration
5 in the determination of such compensation.
6 The Board shall conduct public hearings prior to filing
7 its report.
8 At the public hearings, the Board shall allow interested
9 persons to present their views and comments. The Board may
10 prescribe reasonable rules for the conduct of public
11 hearings, to prevent undue repetition. The meetings of the
12 Board are subject to the Open Meetings Act.
13 The Board shall file an initial report with the House of
14 Representatives, the Senate, the Comptroller and the
15 Secretary of State. Subsequent reports shall be filed
16 therewith before April 1 May 1 in each even-numbered year
17 thereafter stating the annual salary for members of the
18 General Assembly, the elected State constitutional officers
19 and certain appointed State officers and compensated
20 employees and members of certain State departments, agencies,
21 boards and commissions whose terms begin in the next calendar
22 year; the annual salary for State's attorneys; and the annual
23 salary for the Auditor General and for Supreme Court,
24 Appellate Court, Circuit Court and Associate judges. If the
25 report increases the annual salary of judges, State's
26 attorneys, and the Auditor General, such increase shall take
27 effect as soon as the time period for disapproval or
28 reduction, as provided in subsection (b) of Section 5, has
29 expired.
30 The salaries in the report or as reduced by the General
31 Assembly, other than for judges, State's attorneys, and the
32 Auditor General, shall take effect as provided by law.
