 1        AN  ACT  to  amend  the Illinois Highway Code by changing
 2    Section 6-207.
 3        Be it enacted by the People of  the  State  of  Illinois,
 4    represented in the General Assembly:
 5        Section  5.   The  Illinois  Highway  Code  is amended by
 6    changing Section 6-207 as follows:
 7        (605 ILCS 5/6-207) (from Ch. 121, par. 6-207)
 8        Sec. 6-207.  Compensation  of  highway  commissioner  and
 9    other officers.
10        (a)  Unless an annual salary is fixed as provided in this
11    Section,  the highway commissioner shall receive for each day
12    he or  she  is  necessarily  employed  in  the  discharge  of
13    official duties a per diem to be fixed by the county board in
14    road  districts  in counties not under township organization,
15    by the highway board of  trustees  in  consolidated  township
16    road  districts,  and  by  the  board  of  town  trustees  in
17    districts composed of a single township.  Before any per diem
18    is paid, a sworn statement shall be filed by the commissioner
19    in  the  office  of the district clerk, showing the number of
20    days the commissioner was employed, the kind  of  employment,
21    and the dates of employment.
22        The  boards  specified  in  the  preceding paragraph may,
23    instead of a per diem, fix an annual salary for  the  highway
24    commissioner  at  not  less  than $3,000, to be paid in equal
25    monthly installments.  The boards shall fix the  compensation
26    of  the commissioner, whether an annual salary or a per diem,
27    on or before the last Tuesday in March  before  the  date  of
28    election of the commissioner.
29        If  the  term  of any highway commissioner is extended by
30    operation of law, the board  that  fixes  the  commissioner's
31    rate   of   compensation   may   increase  the  rate  of  the
HB1178 Enrolled             -2-                LRB9003769NTsb
 1    compensation, within the limits provided in this Section,  in
 2    relation  to  that  portion  of  the commissioner's term that
 3    extends beyond the period for which he or she was elected.
 4        The board of town trustees shall  order  payment  of  the
 5    amount  of  per  diem  claimed  in the highway commissioner's
 6    sworn statement at the first regular  meeting  following  the
 7    filing  of  the  statement.   In  consolidated  township road
 8    districts, the compensation and the expenses of  the  offices
 9    of  the  highway  commissioner,  district clerk, and district
10    treasurer shall be audited by the highway board of trustees.
11        The compensation of the  highway  commissioner  shall  be
12    paid from the general township fund in districts comprised of
13    a  single  township  and  shall be paid from the regular road
14    fund in all other  districts  having  highway  commissioners;
15    however,  in  districts  comprised  of  a  single township, a
16    portion (not exceeding 50%)  of  the  highway  commissioner's
17    salary may be paid from the corporate road and bridge fund or
18    the permanent road fund if approved by the township board and
19    the highway commissioner.
20        (b)  The officers composing the highway board of trustees
21    in  consolidated township road districts shall be entitled to
22    $3 per day for attending meetings of the board,  to  be  paid
23    out  of  the  town  fund  of  their respective townships.  In
24    consolidated township road districts, the compensation of the
25    district clerk and the district treasurer shall be  paid  out
26    of the road fund of the district.
27        (c)  The district clerk shall receive:
28             (1)  for  each day he or she is necessarily employed
29        in the discharge of official duties, a  per  diem  to  be
30        fixed  by  the county board in road districts in counties
31        not under township organization and by the highway  board
32        of trustees in consolidated township road districts; or
33             (2)  $4  per  day  for  each  day he or she shall be
34        required to meet with the highway  commissioner  and  the
HB1178 Enrolled             -3-                LRB9003769NTsb
 1        same  amount  per  day  for  the  time he or she shall be
 2        employed in canvassing  the  returns  of  elections.  The
 3        district  clerk  shall  receive  no  other  per diem.  In
 4        addition to the above,  the  district  clerk  shall  also
 5        receive  fees  for the following services, to be paid out
 6        of  the  district  road  fund,  except  where   otherwise
 7        specified:

10             this Code, 25 cents each.
11                  (B)  (2)  For  posting  up  notices required by
12             law, 25 cents each.
13                  (C) (3)  For copying any record in the district
14             clerk's office and certifying to the copy, 10  cents
15             for  every  100  words,  to  be  paid  by the person
16             applying for the certified copy.
17        (d)  Except as  otherwise  provided  in  this  Code,  the
18    district   treasurer   shall,   in   addition  to  any  other
19    compensation to which he or she is by law  entitled,  receive
20    an  annual  salary of not less than $100 nor more than $1,000
21    per year to be fixed by the county board in road districts in
22    counties not under  township  organization,  by  the  highway
23    board  of  trustees  in consolidated township road districts,
24    and by the board of town trustees in districts composed of  a
25    single township.
26        The  compensation of the district treasurer shall be paid
