2     Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
3 represented in the General Assembly:
 
4     Section 5. The Counties Code is amended by changing Section
5 2-3007 as follows:
 
6     (55 ILCS 5/2-3007)  (from Ch. 34, par. 2-3007)
7     Sec. 2-3007. Chairman of county board; election and term.
8 Any county board when providing for the reapportionment of its
9 county under this Division may provide that the chairman of the
10 county board shall be elected by the voters of the county
11 rather than by the members of the board. In that event,
12 provision shall be made for the election throughout the county
13 of the chairman of the county board, but in counties over
14 3,000,000 population no person may be elected to serve as such
15 chairman who has not been elected as a county board member to
16 serve during the same period as the term of office as chairman
17 of the county board to which he seeks election. In counties
18 over 450,000 population and under 3,000,000 population, the
19 chairman shall be elected as chairman without having been first
20 elected to the county board. Such chairman shall not vote on
21 any question except to break a tie vote. In all other counties
22 the chairman may either be elected as a county board member or
23 elected as the chairman without having been first elected to
24 the board. Except in counties where the chairman of the county
25 board is elected by the voters of the county and is not
26 required to be a county board member, whether the chairman of
27 the county board is elected by the voters of the county or by
28 the members of the board, he shall be elected to a 2 year term.
29 In counties where the chairman of the county board is elected
30 by the voters of the county and is not required to be a county
31 board member, the chairman shall be elected to a 4 year term.
32 In all cases, the term of the chairman of the county board
