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.

(65 ILCS 5/5-2-17) (from Ch. 24, par. 5-2-17)
Sec. 5-2-17.
Trustees; certain villages incorporated under special
Acts.
(a) In every village specified in Section 5-2-12 incorporated and
existing under any special Act that, before
June 4, 1909, under
any special Act, annually elected members of its legislative body, the
electors of the village, instead of the
legislative body now provided for by law,
shall elect 6 trustees. They shall hold their offices until their
respective successors are elected and have qualified. At the first meeting
of this board of 6 trustees, the terms of office of the trustees shall be
staggered. Thereafter, the terms shall be for the same
length of time as provided
for alderpersons in Section 3.1-20-35.
(b) The electors of a village or
incorporated town described in subsection (a) may, however, adopt
a 2 year term for their trustees as provided in Section 3.1-10-65. If this 2
year term is adopted, then at the next general municipal election in the
adopting village, 3 trustees shall be elected, and they shall hold their
offices for terms of one year each. In the next succeeding year, and in
each year thereafter, 3 trustees shall be elected in the adopting village,
and they shall hold their offices for terms of 2 years each.
(c) Any village described in subsection (a) that, before January 2, 1942, has adopted a 2 year term
for its trustees and is now electing 3 trustees each year shall continue
to elect 3 trustees each year for a term of 2 years each. Any village
described in subsection (a) that, before January 2, 1942,
has adopted a 2 year term for its trustees but
is not now electing 3 trustees each year shall elect 3 trustees at the
next general municipal election in that village, and they shall hold their
offices for terms of one year each. In the next succeeding year, and in
each year thereafter, 3 trustees shall be elected, and they shall hold
their offices for terms of 2 years each.
