Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

(55 ILCS 5/3-10020) (from Ch. 34, par. 3-10020)

Sec. 3-10020. Removal for cause; other vacancy.

If any county
treasurer shall neglect or refuse to render an account, or make settlement
at any time when required by law, or refuse to
answer any question regarding the operation of the county treasurer's office propounded to him by the county board, or refuse to provide the county board with any requested information concerning the accounts maintained by the county treasurer's office, provided the requests are for information that the county treasurer is required by law to maintain and in a format already maintained by the county treasurer, or is a
defaulter, and in arrears with the county, or is guilty of any other
misconduct in his office, the county board may remove him from office, and
the presiding officer of the county board, with the advice and consent of
the county board, may appoint some suitable person to perform the duties of
treasurer until his successor is elected, or appointed and qualified; or if
by reason of the death or resignation of the county treasurer, or other
cause, the said office shall become vacant, then the vacancy shall be
filled as provided in The Election Code by appointment of  some suitable
person to perform the duties of treasurer, until a county treasurer is
elected or appointed and qualified. Provided, that in case any county
treasurer is called into the active military service of the United States,
the appointee shall perform and discharge all the duties of the county
treasurer in such county during the time such county treasurer is in the
active military service of the United States, and such county treasurer so
appointed shall possess all the powers and discharge all the duties of a
regularly elected county treasurer under the laws of this State, and shall
be paid the same compensation as provided by law for the county treasurer
of the county, apportioned as to the time of service, and such appointment
and all authority thereunder shall cease upon the discharge of said county
treasurer from such active military service of the United States; and
provided further, that the office of county treasurer shall not be deemed
to be vacant during the time the said county treasurer is in the active
military service of the United States. The person so appointed, shall give
bond and security, as required by law of the county treasurer.
