    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
 
represented in the General Assembly:
  
 
 
    Section 5. The Township Code is amended  by changing 
Section 30-5 as follows:
 



    (60 ILCS 1/30-5)



    Sec. 30-5. Annual township meeting. 

    (a) The annual township meeting in the respective 
townships for the
transaction of the business of the township 
shall be held on the second Tuesday
of April in each year, 
after 6 p.m., at the place appointed for those
meetings. 
Elections for
township officers shall be held in accordance 
with the consolidated schedule of
elections prescribed by the 
general election law.

    (b) Whenever the date designated in subsection (a) 
conflicts with the
celebration of Passover or Ramadan, the 
township board may postpone the annual township
meeting to the 
first Tuesday following the last day of Passover or Ramadan.

    (c) Whenever the consolidated election provided for in 
subsection
(b) of Section 2A-1.1 of the Election Code is 
rescheduled to the second
Tuesday in April under Section 
2A-1.1a of the Election Code, the annual
township meeting 
shall be held on the third Tuesday in April at the time

designated by the electors or the township board, whichever is 
appropriate.

    (d) If the Governor declares a disaster under Section 7 of 
the Illinois Emergency Management Agency Act and the disaster 
declaration is effective during the dates designated for a 
township's annual meeting under subsection (a), (b), or (c), a 
township board may postpone the annual meeting if 
circumstances related to the disaster declaration prevent a 
township from holding its annual meeting. An annual township 
meeting postponed under this subsection shall be held on the 
third Tuesday, after 6 p.m., of the month following the 
expiration of the disaster declaration.  If a subsequent 
disaster is declared under Section 7 of the Illinois Emergency 
Management Agency Act prior to or one day after the expiration 
of the disaster declaration upon which the township board 
based its decision to postpone the annual meeting and the 
township board intends to proceed with the annual meeting 
during this subsequent disaster declaration, the township 
board must consult with and receive written approval from the 
county health department in order to proceed with the annual 
meeting during the course of the subsequent disaster 
declaration.
