(a) The County Board, in all counties of less than 2,000,000
inhabitants, shall fix the compensation of Coroners within
the limitations fixed by this Division, and shall appropriate
for their necessary clerk hire, stationery, fuel, supplies,
and other expenses. The compensation of the Coroner shall be
fixed separately from his necessary clerk hire, stationery,

within the following limits:
To each Coroner in counties containing less than 5,000
inhabitants, not less than $4,500 per annum.
To each Coroner in counties containing 5,000 or more
inhabitants but less than 14,000 inhabitants, not less than

The population of all counties for the purpose of fixing
compensation, as herein provided, shall be based upon the
last Federal census immediately previous to the election of
the Coroner in question in each county. This Section does not
apply to a county which has abolished the elective office of
coroner.
(b) Those coroners beginning a term of office on or
after December 1, 1990 shall be compensated as follows:
(1) Beginning December 1, 1990, base salary plus at
least 3% of base salary.
(2) Beginning December 1, 1991, base salary plus at
least 6% of base salary.
(3) Beginning December 1, 1992, base salary plus at
least 9% of base salary.
(4) Beginning December 1, 1993, base salary plus at
least 12% of base salary.
"Base salary", as used in this subsection (b), means the
salary in effect before July 1, 1989.
(c) In addition to, but separate and apart from, the
compensation provided in this Section, the coroner of each
county shall receive an annual stipend of $6,500 to be paid
by the State if his or her term begins on or after December
1, 2000.

his or her additional duties imposed by other statutes or
laws shall receive an annual stipend to be paid by the State
in the amount of $6,500. The county board shall not reduce

funds.
