|
| 2 |
| Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
|
| 3 |
| represented in the General Assembly:
|
| 4 |
| Section 5. The School Code is amended by changing Section |
| 5 |
| 3A-15 as follows:
|
| 6 |
| (105 ILCS 5/3A-15) (from Ch. 122, par. 3A-15)
|
| 7 |
| Sec. 3A-15. Legal representation.
Except as otherwise |
| 8 |
| provided in this Section, upon
Upon request the State's |
| 9 |
| attorney of
the county where the regional superintendent's |
| 10 |
| office is located shall act
as the legal representative of the |
| 11 |
| regional superintendent of schools; however,
where matters |
| 12 |
| arise which are within the exclusive jurisdiction of another
|
| 13 |
| State's attorney, said State's attorney shall provide legal |
| 14 |
| representation. If, in multicounty educational service |
| 15 |
| regions, the county boards grant approval through an |
| 16 |
| intergovernmental agreement, or if, in educational service |
| 17 |
| regions serving only one county, the county board grants |
| 18 |
| approval, then the regional superintendent of schools is |
| 19 |
| authorized to hire private legal counsel to represent him or |
| 20 |
| her in legal matters, and each county located within the region |
| 21 |
| shall pay a per capita share of the legal fees incurred, based |
| 22 |
| on the number of people in the county according to the most |
| 23 |
| recent U.S. census.
