A BILL FOR

AN ACT concerning local government.

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

Section 5. The Illinois Municipal Code is amended by changing Section 5-2-17 as follows:

(65 ILCS 5/5-2-17) (from Ch. 24, par. 5-2-17)

Sec. 5-2-17. Trustees; certain villages and towns incorporated under special Acts.

(a) In every village specified in Section 5-2-12 or incorporated town incorporated and existing under any special Act that, before June 4, 1909, under any special Act, annually elected members of its legislative body, the electors of the municipality village, instead of the legislative body now provided for by law, shall elect 6 trustees. They shall hold their offices until their respective successors are elected and have qualified. At the first meeting of this board of 6 trustees, the terms of office of the trustees shall be staggered. Thereafter, the terms shall be for the same length of time as provided for alderpersons in Section 3.1-20-35.

(b) The electors of a village or incorporated town described in subsection (a) may, however, adopt a 2 year term for their trustees as provided in Section 3.1-10-65. If this 2 year term is adopted, then at the next general municipal election in the adopting village, 3 trustees shall be elected, and they shall hold their offices for terms of one year each. In the next succeeding year, and in each year thereafter, 3 trustees shall be elected in the adopting village, and they shall hold their offices for terms of 2 years each.

(c) Any village or incorporated town described in subsection (a) that, before January 2, 1942, has adopted a 2 year term for its trustees and is now electing 3 trustees each year shall continue to elect 3 trustees each year for a term of 2 years each. Any municipality village described in subsection (a) that, before January 2, 1942, has adopted a 2 year term for its trustees but is not now electing 3 trustees each year shall elect 3 trustees at the next general municipal election in that village, and they shall hold their offices for terms of one year each. In the next succeeding year, and in each year thereafter, 3 trustees shall be elected, and they shall hold their offices for terms of 2 years each.
