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.
(55 ILCS 5/3-1001) (from Ch. 34, par. 3-1001)
Sec. 3-1001. Auditors in counties of 70,000 to 3,000,000. In all
counties containing less than 3,000,000 and over 70,000 inhabitants by the
last federal census, there is created the office of county auditor, whose
term of office shall be 4 years and until his or her successor is elected and
qualified. The nomination and election shall be subject to the general
election laws of the State. Each county auditor shall take office the first
day of the month following the month of his or her election on which the office of
the county auditor is required, by statute or by action of the county
board, to be open. The qualifications and oath of office shall be the same
as apply to other county officers. Each county auditor shall, before
entering upon the duties of the office, give bond (or, if the county is
self-insured, the county through its self-insurance program may provide
bonding) in such penalty and with such security as the county board deems
sufficient, which bond shall be substantially in the form required by law to be
given by the county clerk. Such bond shall be filed with the county clerk on or
before the day the county auditor takes office. In case of a vacancy in the
office of county auditor caused by death, resignation, or removal from office,
the vacancy shall be filled as provided for filling vacancies of other county
offices. If the auditor is temporarily unable to perform his or her duties for
any reason, the deputy auditor, if there is one, shall assume the duties of the
auditor until the auditor is able to resume his or her duties or until a
replacement for the auditor is chosen.
