2 Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
3 represented in the General Assembly:
4 Section 5. The Counties Code is amended by changing
5 Section 3-4007 as follows:
6 (55 ILCS 5/3-4007) (from Ch. 34, par. 3-4007)
7 Sec. 3-4007. Compensation. The Public Defender shall be
8 paid out of the county treasury as the sole compensation for
9 his services a salary in such amount as shall be fixed by the
10 County Board which salary in counties of less than 500,000
11 population but in excess of 100,000 shall not be less than
12 40% nor more than 100% of the compensation of the State's
13 Attorneys of such counties and in counties of 100,000 or less
14 population shall not be less than 25% nor more than 100% of
15 the compensation of the State's Attorneys of such counties.
16 In counties having a population of less than 500,000 but more
17 than 100,000, the State shall reimburse the county for
18 compensation paid to the Public Defender in an amount equal
19 to 40% of the compensation paid to the State's Attorney in
20 that county, and in counties having a population of 100,000
21 or less, in an amount equal to 25% of the compensation paid
22 to the State's Attorney in that county. When a Public
23 Defender in a county of 30,000 or more population is
24 receiving not less than 90% of the compensation of the
25 State's Attorney of such county, that Public Defender shall
26 not engage in the private practice of law. In cases where 2
27 or more adjoining counties have joined to form a common
28 office of Public Defender, the salary of the Public Defender
29 shall be set and paid as provided by a joint resolution of
30 the various county boards involved.
