(70 ILCS 1832/110)
Sec. 110.
Resignation and removal of Board members; vacancies.
Members of
the Board shall hold office until their respective
successors have been appointed and qualified. Any member may resign from
his or her office, to take effect when his or her successor has been appointed
and has
qualified. The Governor and the county boards may remove any
member
of the Board appointed by them in case of incompetency, neglect of duty, or
malfeasance in office. They shall give the member a copy of the charges against
him or her and an opportunity to be publicly heard in person or by counsel in
his or her
own defense upon not less than 10 days' notice. In case of failure to
qualify within the time required, of abandonment of office, or
of death, conviction of a crime, or removal from office, the office
shall become vacant. Each vacancy shall be filled for the unexpired term by
appointment in like manner, and with like regard as to the place of
residence of the appointee, as in case of expiration of the term of a
member of the Board.
