Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

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.

Sec. 50-30.

Referendum to discontinue office of township collector.

(a) Each county under township organization having a population of more
than 100,000 according to the last preceding federal census (except Cook
County) in which township collectors were elected for the townships of the
county in the year 1937, and counties under township government that have by
referendum under Section 50-25 provided for the election of township
collectors, may at a regular election submit to a further referendum the
question of discontinuing the office of township collector in the county
in the manner provided in this Section.

(b) Whenever a petition, signed by at least 10% of the total number of
voters at the last general election at which any county officer was elected and
requesting submission to the voters of the county of the proposition of
discontinuing the office of the township collector in the county, is filed with
the county clerk not less than 78 days before a regular election, the county
clerk shall submit the proposition in accordance with the general election law.
 The proposition shall be in substantially the following form:

Shall the office of township collector be

discontinued in (name of county) under Section 50-30 of the Township Code?

The votes shall be recorded as "Yes" or "No".

(c) If a majority of the voters voting on the proposition vote in favor of
the discontinuance of the office of township collector, no township collectors
shall thereafter be elected in the county unless there has again been submitted
to the voters of the county and approved by them a proposition to establish the
office of township collector.
