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. 2f-17. 14th judicial circuit; resident judgeships.

(a) The 4 at-large judgeships of the 14th judicial circuit shall be converted to resident judgeships elected from Rock Island County as they become vacant after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 102nd General Assembly. Thereafter, persons elected to those resident judgeships shall be residents of Rock Island County. This subsection shall not apply to a vacancy existing on the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 102nd General Assembly to be filled at the 2022 general election.

(b) It is the intent of the General Assembly not to create any additional judgeships in the 14th judicial circuit by this amendatory Act of the 102nd General Assembly. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, the conversion of at-large judgeships to resident judgeships under subsection (a) of this Section shall not entitle the 14th judicial circuit to any additional circuit judgeships elected at-large.
