Illinois Compiled Statutes
Information maintained by the Legislative Reference Bureau 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.
COUNTIES (55 ILCS 5/) Counties Code. 55 ILCS 5/6-24007
(55 ILCS 5/6-24007) (from Ch. 34, par. 6-24007)
Sec. 6-24007.
Amendment of appropriation bill; monthly schedule
for year of proposed expenditure. Such annual appropriation bill may
be amended at the next meeting of the board of commissioners, occurring not
less than five days after the passage thereof, in like manner as other
resolutions appropriating money. Such ordinance, as originally passed or as
subsequently amended, may also be amended, at any meeting of the board of
commissioners held not more than 15 days after the first meeting of such
board of commissioners occurring not less than 5 days after the passage of
such annual appropriation bill, by repealing or reducing the amount of any
item or items of appropriation contained therein. The board of
commissioners has the power, by a two-thirds vote of all members of such
body, to make transfers within any fund, department or other office or
agency of the county, of sums of money appropriated for one corporate
object or purpose to another corporate object or purpose, but no
appropriation for any object or purpose shall thereby be reduced below an
amount sufficient to cover all obligations incurred against such
appropriation.
For purposes of controlling expenditures, the expenditure of or
incurring of obligations against any appropriation may be delayed,
restricted, or terminated with regard to any object or purpose for which
appropriations were made in the appropriation bill or resolution. A monthly
schedule for the year of proposed expenditure, including any limitations or
conditions against appropriations for each program, subactivity, and the
agency or department, shall be made within 30 days of the adoption of the
annual appropriation bill, and such schedule, as amended by the President
of the County Board, shall be binding upon all officers, agencies, and
departments, and such schedule of expenditure or of incurring obligations
may not be exceeded, provided that any such schedule may be revised after
three calendar months have elapsed since the last schedule.

55 ILCS 5/6-24008
(55 ILCS 5/6-24008) (from Ch. 34, par. 6-24008)
Sec. 6-24008.
Limitations.
After the adoption of such
appropriation bill or resolution, the
said board of commissioners shall not make any further or other
appropriations prior to the adoption or passage of the next succeeding
annual appropriation bill, and the said board of commissioners shall have
no power, either directly or indirectly, to make any contract or to do any
act which shall add to the county expenditure or liabilities in any year,
anything or sum over and above the amount provided for in the annual
appropriation bill for that fiscal year. No contract shall hereafter be
made, or expense or liability incurred by the said board of commissioners,
or any member or committee thereof, or by any person or persons, for or in
its behalf, notwithstanding the expenditure may have been ordered by the
said board of commissioners, unless an appropriation therefor shall have
been previously made by said board in manner aforesaid. Neither said board,
nor any member or committee thereof, nor any officer of the county, nor any
person holding any office, trust or employment under such board of
commissioners of such county, shall, during a fiscal year, expend or
contract to be expended any money, or incur any liability, or enter into
any contract which, by its terms, involves the expenditure of money for any
of the purposes for which provision is made in the annual appropriation
bill in excess of the amounts appropriated in said appropriation bill.
Provided, however, that the board of commissioners may lease from any
Public Building Commission created pursuant to the provisions of the Public
Building Commission Act, approved July 5, 1955, as now or hereafter
amended, any real or personal property for county purposes for any period
of time not exceeding 20 years, and such lease may be made and the
obligation or expense thereunder incurred without making a previous
appropriation therefor except as otherwise provided in Section 5-1108.
Any contract, verbal or written, made in violation of this Section shall be
null and void as to said county, and no moneys belonging to that county
shall be paid thereon; provided, however, that nothing herein contained
shall prevent the making of lawful contracts for the construction of
buildings, the term of which contracts may be for periods of more than one
year. Provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall prevent the
board of commissioners, by a concurring vote of four-fifths of all the
commissioners (said vote to be taken by yeas and nays and entered upon the
journal), for making any expenditure or incurring any liability rendered
necessary, by any unforeseen casualty by fire, flood or otherwise,
happening after the annual appropriation bill shall have been passed or
adopted. Nor shall anything herein contained be construed to deprive the
board of power to provide for and cause to be paid from the county funds
any charge upon said county imposed by law, without the action of the board
of commissioners, including fixed salaries of officers or employees
required by law to be paid from the county treasury, and to pay jurors'
fees and other charges fixed by law.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section or Section
6-24001, the board of commissioners may, during the fiscal year 1969, adopt
a supplemental appropriation bill or resolution in an amount not in excess
of any additional revenue available to the county, or estimated to be
received by the county, subsequent to the adoption of the annual
appropriation bill or resolution for that fiscal year, for any proper
corporate purpose. Such supplemental appropriation bill or resolution shall
only affect revenue that was not available for appropriation when the
annual appropriation bill or resolution was adopted, and the provisions of
Section 6-24004 relating to publication, notice and public hearing shall not
be applicable to such supplemental appropriation bill or resolution or to
the budget document forming the basis thereof.

Sec. 6-24009.
Violation.
Any member of the board of commissioners or any officer of the county,
or any person holding any office, trust or employment under such board of
commissioners or such county, who shall be guilty of the wilful violation
of any of the provisions of Section 6-24008, shall be guilty of a business
offense and shall be fined not exceeding $10,000 and shall forfeit his
right to his office, trust or employment and shall be removed therefrom.
Any such member, officer, employee or person shall be liable for the amount
of any loss or damage suffered by such county resulting from any act of his
in violation of the terms of Section 6-24008, to be recovered by such
county, or by any taxpayer in the name and for the benefit of such county,
in an appropriate action, provided, that such taxpayer shall file a
bond for all costs, and be liable for all costs taxed against the county in
such suit, and judgment shall be rendered accordingly.
Nothing herein shall bar any other remedies.
