Statutes Amended In Order of Appearance

55 ILCS 5/2-3007

from Ch. 34, par. 2-3007

Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Counties Code. Provides that the chairman of the county board of all counties under 3,000,000 population shall be elected as chairman without having been first elected to the county board (rather than counties with a population of 450,000 or less being able to elect a chairman from the members of the board or without having been a member of the board). Further provides that no person shall seek election to both the county board as a member and the county board chairman at the same election. Effective immediately.

House Floor Amendment No. 1
Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Amends the Counties Code. Provides that no person may simultaneously serve as a member of a county board and the chairman of the same board if the office of chairman is elected by the voters of the county rather than by the members of the board (in the introduced bill, no person shall seek election to both the county board as a member and the county board chairman at the same election). Restores provisions deleted by the introduced bill concerning election of the chairman. Further provides that the chairman of the county board shall be elected as chairman without having been first elected to the county board and shall not vote on any question except to break a tie vote in counties over 300,000 (currently, 450,000) population and under 3,000,000 population. Effective immediately.
