AN ACT concerning local government.
| ||||
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||

| ||||
Section 5. The Counties Code is amended by changing Section | ||||

| ||||
(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 by the | ||||
county board, 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.
