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.

subject to the general administrative and supervisory authority of the
Chief Circuit Judge or another judge designated by the Chief Circuit Judge,
and to control and supervise, as herein provided, the conduct of
probationers to such extent as the court may direct.

The Chief Circuit Judge, or another judge designated by the Chief
Circuit Judge to have general administrative and supervisory authority over
the director of the court services department or the chief probation officer, may authorize the director or chief probation officer to appoint all
subordinate court services department officers or probation officers,
who shall serve at the pleasure of the director or chief probation officer.

In addition to the authority to discharge such subordinate officers, the
director or chief probation officer may impose lesser disciplinary
sanctions as the circumstances warrant in the judgment of the director or

laws that may be applicable.

It shall be the duty of the county board to furnish suitable rooms and
accommodations, equipment and supplies for probation officers and

assistants shall be determined by the Chief Circuit Judge or another judge
designated by the Chief Circuit Judge to have general administrative and
supervisory authority over the director of the court services department or
the chief probation officer and shall be appointed by the director or chief
probation officer.  Salaries of clerical assistants shall be fixed by
the county board.
