| ||||
| ||||
AN ACT concerning local government.
| ||||
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois, | ||||
represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||
Section 5. The Counties Code is amended by changing Section | ||||
2-6008 as follows:
| ||||
(55 ILCS 5/2-6008) (from Ch. 34, par. 2-6008)
| ||||
Sec. 2-6008. Approval of ordinances. All ordinances, | ||||
resolutions or
motions shall be submitted to
said board of | ||||
commissioners in writing, or reduced to writing before any
vote | ||||
shall be taken thereon; and if adopted by the board, the same | ||||
shall
not take effect until after the same shall have been | ||||
approved in writing by
the president of said board, except as | ||||
hereinafter provided. It shall be
the duty of the clerk of said | ||||
board to deliver to the president thereof,
upon his request, | ||||
the original (or a copy) of each ordinance, resolution or
| ||||
motion, so passed or adopted by said board as aforesaid, within | ||||
one day
after its passage or adoption; and in case the | ||||
president approves thereof,
he shall sign the same, and it | ||||
shall thereupon be in full force and effect.
In case the | ||||
president shall not approve any such ordinance, resolution or
| ||||
motion, he shall, within five days after the receipt of the | ||||
same as
aforesaid, return it to the clerk of said board, with | ||||
his objections
thereto in writing. Such veto by the president | ||||
may extend to any one or
more items or appropriations contained | ||
in any resolution making an
appropriation, or to the entire | ||
resolution; and in case the veto only
extends to a part of such | ||
resolution making an appropriation, the residue
thereof not | ||
embraced within the veto shall take effect and be in force from
| ||
the time of the receipt by said clerk of such veto of such | ||
part. Upon the
return of any such ordinance, resolution or | ||
motion by the president, with
his objections thereto as | ||
aforesaid, the vote by which the same was passed
shall be | ||
reconsidered by the board of commissioners as to so much | ||
thereof
as may have been vetoed; and if, after such | ||
reconsideration, three-fifths
four-fifths of
all the members | ||
elected to the board shall agree to pass the same by yeas
and | ||
nays, to be entered on the journal, the same shall take effect,
| ||
notwithstanding the president may have refused to approve | ||
thereof. In case
the president shall fail or omit to either | ||
sign and approve or return, with
his objections as aforesaid, | ||
any such ordinance, motion or resolution which
shall have been | ||
passed or adopted by the board within six days after it
shall | ||
have been so passed or adopted, the same shall take effect | ||
without
the approval of the president.
