|
|
| 1 | | AN ACT concerning local government.
|
| 2 | | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
|
| 3 | | represented in the General Assembly:
|
| 4 | | Section 5. The Public Officer Prohibited Activities Act is |
| 5 | | amended by changing Section 2a as follows:
|
| 6 | | (50 ILCS 105/2a) (from Ch. 102, par. 2a)
|
| 7 | | Sec. 2a. Township officials. |
| 8 | | (a) No township
supervisor or trustee, during the term of |
| 9 | | office for which he or
she is elected, may accept, be appointed |
| 10 | | to, or hold any office
by the appointment of the board of |
| 11 | | township trustees unless he or
she first resigns from the |
| 12 | | office of supervisor or trustee or
unless the appointment is |
| 13 | | specifically authorized by law. A
supervisor or trustee may, |
| 14 | | however, serve as a volunteer firefighter
and receive |
| 15 | | compensation for that service. Any appointment in
violation of |
| 16 | | this Section is void.
Nothing in this Act shall be construed to |
| 17 | | prohibit an elected township
official from holding elected |
| 18 | | office in another unit of local government as
long as there is |
| 19 | | no contractual relationship between the township and the other
|
| 20 | | unit of local government, except that a township supervisor |
| 21 | | shall not serve as a county board member without resigning |
| 22 | | from the office of supervisor. This amendatory Act of 1995 is |
| 23 | | declarative of
existing law and is not a new enactment. |
