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.

605 ILCS 5/5-203

(605 ILCS 5/5-203) (from Ch. 121, par. 5-203)

Sec. 5-203.

Any county superintendent of highways may be removed from
office by the county board for incompetence, neglect of duty or malfeasance
in office. In any proceeding to remove a county superintendent of highways
from office a petition shall be filed with the county board naming such
officer as respondent and setting forth the particular facts upon which
the request for removal is based. The county board shall set the matter
for hearing not earlier than 5 days after service upon the respondent, which
service shall be the same as in civil actions. The county board shall thereupon
proceed to a determination of the charges and shall enter an order either
dismissing the charge against the county superintendent of highways or removing
him from office.

The decision of the county board is subject to judicial review under the
Administrative Review Law as now or hereafter amended.
