 1        AN ACT concerning county officers.

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

 4        Section  5.  The Property Tax Code is amended by changing
 5    Section 6-30 as follows:

 6        (35 ILCS 200/6-30)
 7        Sec. 6-30.  Board of review in commission  counties.   In
 8    counties  not  under  township  organization  with  less than
 9    3,000,000 inhabitants in which no board of review is  elected
10    under  Section  6-35, the board of county commissioners shall
11    constitute the board of  review.  They  shall  have  all  the
12    powers and perform all the duties conferred on or required by
13    boards  of  review.   County  commissioners  shall receive no
14    additional compensation for serving on the board  of  review.
15    County commissioners serving as the board of review must meet
16    the  examination requirements of Section 6-32.  If any member
17    of the board  of  county  commissioners  fails  to  meet  the
18    examination  requirements,  the board of county commissioners
19    shall appoint a  board  of  review.  Members  of  the  county
20    commissioners  who  meet the requirements of Section 6-32 may
21    serve on the appointed board of review, but shall not receive
22    additional compensation.
23        The  board  of  county  commissioners  shall   appoint  a
24    3-member  board  of  review  if  (i)  the  board  of   county
25    commissioners  so  chooses or (ii) any member of the board of
26    county  commissioners   fails   to   meet   the   examination
27    requirements  of  Section  6-32.   No  person may serve on an
28    appointed board of review under this Section unless he or she
29    meets the examination requirements of Section 6-32.   Members
30    of  a  board  of  review  appointed  by  the  board of county
31    commissioners shall receive a per diem for their services  as
 
                            -2-                LRB9113080MWpr
 1    established by the board of county commissioners.
 2        A  board  of  review  appointed  by  the  board of county
 3    commissioners shall serve at the pleasure of the board of the
 4    county commissioners.  If the board of  review  is  appointed
 5    because any member of the board of county commissioners fails
 6    to  meet the examination requirements of Section 6-32 and all
 7    members subsequently fulfill the requirements, the  board  of
 8    county  commissioners  may  terminate  the  authority  of the
 9    sitting board of review, as soon as it completes its work for
10    a tax year, and serve as the board of review.

12        Section 10.  The Public Officer Prohibited Activities Act
13    is amended by changing Section 1 as follows:

14        (50 ILCS 105/1) (from Ch. 102, par. 1)
15        Sec. 1. County board.   No  member  of  a  county  board,
16    during the term of office for which he or she is elected, may
17    be  appointed  to,  accept, or hold any office other than (i)
18    chairman of the  county  board  or  member  of  the  regional
19    planning  commission  by appointment or election of the board
20    of which he or she is a member or (ii) alderman of a city  or
21    member  of the board of trustees of a village or incorporated
22    town if the city, village, or  incorporated  town  has  fewer
23    than  1,000  inhabitants  and  is  located in a county having
24    fewer than 50,000 inhabitants, unless he or she first resigns
25    from the office of county board member or unless the  holding
26    of  another  office is authorized by law. Any such prohibited
27    appointment or election  is  void.  This  Section  shall  not
28    preclude  a member of the county board from being selected or
29    from serving as a member of  the  County  Personnel  Advisory
30    Board  as  provided in Section 12-17.2 of the Illinois Public
31    Aid Code, or as a member  of  a  County  Extension  Board  as
32    provided  in  Section  7  of the County Cooperative Extension
 
                            -3-                LRB9113080MWpr
 1    Law, or as a member of an Emergency Telephone System Board as
 2    provided in Section 15.4 of the  Emergency  Telephone  System
 3    Act,  or  as  appointed  members  of  the  board of review as
 4    provided in Section 6-30 of the Property Tax Code. Nothing in
 5    this Act shall be construed to  prohibit  an  elected  county
 6    official from holding elected office in another unit of local
 7    government  so  long  as there is no contractual relationship
 8    between the county and the other unit  of  local  government.
 9    This  amendatory  Act  of 1995 is declarative of existing law
10    and is not a new enactment.
