Information maintained by the Legislative Reference Bureau
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.

    (70 ILCS 2605/4.25) (from Ch. 42, par. 323.25)
    Sec. 4.25. Political contributions and campaigns.
    (a) During a commissioner's or an employee's compensated time, other than vacation, personal, holiday, or compensatory time off, a commissioner or an employee in the service of the sanitary district shall not, directly or indirectly, give or hand over to any commissioner or employee, or to any senator, representative, alderperson, councilman, or trustee, any money or other valuable thing on account of or to be applied to the promotion of any party or political object whatever.
    (b) During an employee's compensated time, other than vacation, personal, holiday, or compensatory time off, an employee shall not take any part in the management or affairs of any political party or in any political campaign, except to exercise his or her right as a citizen privately to express his or her opinion, and to cast his or her vote, provided, however, that an employee shall have the right to hold any public office, either by appointment or election, that is not incompatible with his or her duties as an employee of the District, and provided further that the employee does not campaign or otherwise engage in political activity during his or her compensated time other than vacation, personal, holiday, or compensatory time off.
    (c) This Section shall not be deemed to authorize conduct prohibited by the Federal Hatch Act by employees subject to that Act.
    (d) For the purposes of this Section, "compensated time" means any time worked by or credited to an employee that counts toward any minimum work time requirement imposed as a condition of employment with the sanitary district, but does not include any designated holidays or any period when the employee is on a leave of absence. With respect to commissioners, "compensated time" means any period of time when the commissioner is on the premises under the control of the sanitary district and any other time when the commissioner is executing his or her official duties, regardless of location.
    For the purposes of this Section, "compensatory time off" means authorized time off earned by or awarded to an employee to compensate in whole or in part for time worked in excess of the minimum work time required of that employee as a condition of employment with the sanitary district.
