| 1 | AN ACT concerning local government.
| ||||||
| 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 Section | ||||||
| 5 | 2-6008 as follows:
| ||||||
| 6 | (55 ILCS 5/2-6008) (from Ch. 34, par. 2-6008)
| ||||||
| 7 | Sec. 2-6008. Approval of ordinances. All ordinances, | ||||||
| 8 | resolutions or
motions shall be submitted to
said board of | ||||||
| 9 | commissioners in writing, or reduced to writing before any
vote | ||||||
| 10 | shall be taken thereon; and if adopted by the board, the same | ||||||
| 11 | shall
not take effect until after the same shall have been | ||||||
| 12 | approved in writing by
the president of said board, except as | ||||||
| 13 | hereinafter provided. It shall be
the duty of the clerk of said | ||||||
| 14 | board to deliver to the president thereof,
upon his request, | ||||||
| 15 | the original (or a copy) of each ordinance, resolution or
| ||||||
| 16 | motion, so passed or adopted by said board as aforesaid, within | ||||||
| 17 | one day
after its passage or adoption; and in case the | ||||||
| 18 | president approves thereof,
he shall sign the same, and it | ||||||
| 19 | shall thereupon be in full force and effect.
In case the | ||||||
| 20 | president shall not approve any such ordinance, resolution or
| ||||||
| 21 | motion, he shall, within five days after the receipt of the | ||||||
| 22 | same as
aforesaid, return it to the clerk of said board, with | ||||||
| 23 | his objections
thereto in writing. Such veto by the president | ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | may extend to any one or
more items or appropriations contained | ||||||
| 2 | in any resolution making an
appropriation, or to the entire | ||||||
| 3 | resolution; and in case the veto only
extends to a part of such | ||||||
| 4 | resolution making an appropriation, the residue
thereof not | ||||||
| 5 | embraced within the veto shall take effect and be in force from
| ||||||
| 6 | the time of the receipt by said clerk of such veto of such | ||||||
| 7 | part. Upon the
return of any such ordinance, resolution or | ||||||
| 8 | motion by the president, with
his objections thereto as | ||||||
| 9 | aforesaid, the vote by which the same was passed
shall be | ||||||
| 10 | reconsidered by the board of commissioners as to so much | ||||||
| 11 | thereof
as may have been vetoed; and if, after such | ||||||
| 12 | reconsideration, three-fifths
four-fifths of
all the members | ||||||
| 13 | elected to the board shall agree to pass the same by yeas
and | ||||||
| 14 | nays, to be entered on the journal, the same shall take effect,
| ||||||
| 15 | notwithstanding the president may have refused to approve | ||||||
| 16 | thereof. In case
the president shall fail or omit to either | ||||||
| 17 | sign and approve or return, with
his objections as aforesaid, | ||||||
| 18 | any such ordinance, motion or resolution which
shall have been | ||||||
| 19 | passed or adopted by the board within six days after it
shall | ||||||
| 20 | have been so passed or adopted, the same shall take effect | ||||||
| 21 | without
the approval of the president.
| ||||||
| 22 | This Section is a denial and limitation of home rule powers | ||||||
| 23 | and functions under subsection (h) of Section 6 of Article VII | ||||||
| 24 | of the Illinois Constitution. | ||||||
| 25 | (Source: P.A. 86-962.)
| ||||||
| 26 | Section 99. Effective date. This Act takes effect upon | ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | becoming law. | ||||||
