    Sec. 3-10020. Removal for cause; other vacancy. If any
county treasurer shall neglect or refuse to render an account,
or make settlement at any time when required by law, or by the
county board, or refuse to answer any question regarding the
operation of the county treasurer's office propounded to him by
the county board, or refuse to provide the county board with
any requested information concerning the accounts maintained
by the county treasurer's office, provided the requests are for
information that the county treasurer is required by law to
maintain and in a format already maintained by the county
treasurer, or is a defaulter, and in arrears with the county,
or is guilty of any other misconduct in his office, the county
board may remove him from office, and the presiding officer of
the county board, with the advice and consent of the county
board, may appoint some suitable person to perform the duties
of treasurer until his successor is elected, or appointed and
qualified; or if by reason of the death or resignation of the
county treasurer, or other cause, the said office shall become
vacant, then the vacancy shall be filled as provided in The
Election Code by appointment of some suitable person to perform
the duties of treasurer, until a county treasurer is elected or
appointed and qualified. Provided, that in case any county
treasurer is called into the active military service of the
United States, the appointee shall perform and discharge all
the duties of the county treasurer in such county during the
time such county treasurer is in the active military service of
the United States, and such county treasurer so appointed shall
possess all the powers and discharge all the duties of a
regularly elected county treasurer under the laws of this
State, and shall be paid the same compensation as provided by
law for the county treasurer of the county, apportioned as to
the time of service, and such appointment and all authority
thereunder shall cease upon the discharge of said county
treasurer from such active military service of the United
States; and provided further, that the office of county
treasurer shall not be deemed to be vacant during the time the
said county treasurer is in the active military service of the
United States. The person so appointed, shall give bond and
security, as required by law of the county treasurer.
