Further amends the Township Code. In provisions about a supervisor's bond, removes provisions requiring a bond from a person temporarily appointed to perform the clerical functions of a supervisor. Removes a provision requiring the township clerk to attest a payment authorized by the supervisor's duly authorized designee. Amends the Illinois Highway Code. Provides that, if a referendum has been approved by voters to abolish a road district at the November 6, 2018 election and the road district has not yet been abolished, then: (1) the township board shall have the sole authority, until the date of abolition of the road district, to create and approve the budget of the road district, levy road district taxes, to enter into contracts for the road district, to employ and fix the compensation of road district employees that the township board deems necessary, and to set and adopt rules concerning all benefits available to employees of the road district; and (2) the road district or the highway commissioner may not commence or maintain litigation against the township to resolve any dispute related to the road district regarding powers of the office of the highway commissioner, the powers of the supervisor, or the powers of the township board. Provides that if a township has approved a consolidated road district with another township but that consolidation is not yet effective and if the township subsequently approves a referendum to consolidate the road district with the township, then the dual township consolidated road district is void and shall not occur. Effective immediately.
