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.

(70 ILCS 210/16) (from Ch. 85, par. 1236)

Sec. 16. Vacancies.

Members of the board shall hold office until their respective
successors have been appointed and qualified. Any member may resign from
his or her office, to take effect when his or her successor has been appointed and has
qualified. The Governor and the Mayor of the City of Chicago, respectively,
may remove any member of the Board appointed by him or her in case of
incompetency, neglect of duty, or malfeasance in office, after service on
him or her of a copy of the written charges against him or her and an opportunity to be
publicly heard in person or by counsel in his or her own defense upon not less
than ten days' notice. In case of failure to qualify within the time
required, or of abandonment of his or her office, or in case of death, conviction
of a felony or removal from office, his or her office shall become vacant. Vacancies shall be filled in the same manner as original appointments.
