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. 2-3002.5.

Beginning with members elected at the general election
in 2002, counties having a population
between 800,000 and 3,000,000 according to 2000 decennial census shall have no
more than 18 members on their county board.
If the chairman of the county board is elected at-large by the voters of the
county as provided in Section 2-3007, the chairman shall not be counted as a
member of the county board for the purpose of the limitations on the size of
the county board provided in this Section.  Neither a member nor the
