Statutes Amended In Order of Appearance

65 ILCS 5/3.1-20-10

from Ch. 24, par. 3.1-20-10

Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Illinois Municipal Code. Provides that when not elected by the minority representation plan, the number of aldermen in cities exceeding 15,000 but not exceeding 25,000 (now, 20,000) shall be 10 aldermen, and cities with populations exceeding 25,000 (now, 20,000) but not exceeding 50,000 shall be 14 aldermen. Further provides that a municipality with 15,000 or more inhabitants may adopt, either by ordinance or by resolution, not more than one year after the municipality's receipt of the new federal decennial census results, 8 aldermen in cities exceeding 15,000 but not exceeding 25,000 (now, 20,000) and 10 aldermen in cities exceeding 25,000 (now, 20,000) but not exceeding 50,000. Effective immediately.

House Committee Amendment No. 1
Deletes the population changes from the introduced bill. Provides instead that if, according to the most recent federal decennial census results, the population of a municipality increases, then the municipality may adopt an ordinance or resolution to retain the number of aldermen that existed before the census results. Further provides that the ordinance or resolution may not be adopted more than one year after the municipality's receipt of the most recent federal decennial census results.
