55 ILCS 5/ Counties Code.

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.

County Commissioners.

County commissioners shall receive
an annual salary to be fixed by the county board, which salary is in full
for all duties performed in any capacity as a member of the county board.
In addition, the county commissioners of counties organized under Division
2-4 shall not receive an annual salary that is greater than the annual
salary paid to the county clerk of that county.  County commissioners are
also entitled to travel and expense allowances as determined by the county
board.  All are to be paid out of the county treasury.

No per diem or travel or other expenses for transacting county
business, other than board meetings, may be paid except upon the
filing with the county board of a report stating the nature of
such business.  Such report shall appear on the minutes of the
meeting of the county board at which such per diem and expenses
are approved.
