 1        AN ACT concerning counties.

 2        Be  it  enacted  by  the People of the State of Illinois,
 3    represented in the General Assembly:

 4        Section 5.  The Counties  Code  is  amended  by  changing
 5    Section 3-4007 as follows:

 6        (55 ILCS 5/3-4007) (from Ch. 34, par. 3-4007)
 7        Sec.  3-4007.  Compensation. The Public Defender shall be
 8    paid out of the county treasury as the sole compensation  for
 9    his services a salary in such amount as shall be fixed by the
10    County  Board  which  salary in counties of less than 500,000
11    population but in excess of 100,000 shall not  be  less  than
12    40%  nor  more  than  100% of the compensation of the State's
13    Attorneys of such counties and in counties of 100,000 or less
14    population shall not be less than 25% nor more than  100%  of
15    the  compensation  of the State's Attorneys of such counties.
16    In counties having a population of less than 500,000 but more
17    than 100,000,  the  State  shall  reimburse  the  county  for
18    compensation  paid  to the Public Defender in an amount equal
19    to 40% of the compensation paid to the  State's  Attorney  in
20    that  county,  and in counties having a population of 100,000
21    or less, in an amount equal to 25% of the  compensation  paid
22    to  the  State's  Attorney  in  that  county.  When  a Public
23    Defender  in  a  county  of  30,000  or  more  population  is
24    receiving not less  than  90%  of  the  compensation  of  the
25    State's  Attorney  of such county, that Public Defender shall
26    not engage in the private practice of law.  In cases where  2
27    or  more  adjoining  counties  have  joined  to form a common
28    office of Public Defender, the salary of the Public  Defender
29    shall  be  set  and paid as provided by a joint resolution of
30    the various county boards involved.
