| ||||
| ||||
AN ACT concerning government.
| ||||
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||
represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||
Section 5. The Counties Code is amended by changing Section | ||||
2-3007 as follows:
| ||||
(55 ILCS 5/2-3007) (from Ch. 34, par. 2-3007)
| ||||
Sec. 2-3007. Chairman of county board; election and term. | ||||
Any
county board when providing for the reapportionment of its | ||||
county under
this Division may provide that the chairman of the | ||||
county board shall be
elected by the voters of the county | ||||
rather than by the members of the
board. In that event, | ||||
provision shall be made for the election throughout
the county | ||||
of the chairman of the county board, but in counties over
| ||||
3,000,000 population no person may be elected to serve as such | ||||
chairman who
has not been elected as a county board member to | ||||
serve during the same
period as the term of office as chairman | ||||
of the county board to which he
seeks election. In counties | ||||
over 450,000 population and under 3,000,000
population, the | ||||
chairman shall be elected as chairman without having been
first | ||||
elected to the county board. Such chairman shall not vote on | ||||
any
question except to break a tie vote. In all other counties | ||||
the chairman may
either be elected as a county board member or | ||||
elected as the chairman
without having been first elected to | ||||
the board. Except in counties where
the chairman of the county | ||||
board is elected by the voters of the county and
is not | ||||
required to be a county board member, whether the chairman of | ||||
the
county board is elected by the voters of the county or by | ||||
the members of
the board, he shall be elected to a 2 year term. | ||||
In counties where the
chairman of the county board is elected | ||||
by the voters of the county and is
not required to be a county | ||||
board member, the chairman shall be elected to
a 4 year term. | ||||
In all cases, the term of the chairman
of the county board | ||||
shall commence on the first
third Monday of the month
following | ||
the month in which members of the county board are elected.

| ||
Section 10. The Illinois Highway Code is amended by | ||
changing Section 6-116 as follows:
| ||
(605 ILCS 5/6-116) (from Ch. 121, par. 6-116)
| ||
Sec. 6-116. Except as otherwise provided in this Section | ||
with respect
to highway commissioners of township and | ||
consolidated township road districts,
at the election provided | ||
by the general election law in 1985 and every 4
years | ||
thereafter in all counties, other than counties in which a | ||
county
unit road district has been established and other than | ||
in Cook County, the
highway commissioner of each road district | ||
and the district clerk of each
road district having an elected | ||
clerk, shall be elected to hold office for
a term of 4 years, | ||
and until his successor is elected and qualified. The
highway | ||
commissioner of each road district and the district clerk of | ||
each
road district elected in 1979 shall hold office for an | ||
additional 2 years
and until his successor is elected and has | ||
qualified.
| ||
In each township and consolidated township road district | ||
outside Cook County,
highway commissioners shall be elected at | ||
the election provided for such commissioners
by the general | ||
election law in 1981 and
every 4 years thereafter to hold | ||
office for a term of 4 years and until
his successor is elected | ||
and qualified. The highway commissioner of each
road district | ||
in Cook County shall be elected at the election provided for
| ||
said commissioner by the general election law in 1981 and every | ||
4 years
thereafter for a term of 4 years, and until his | ||
successor is elected and qualified.
| ||
Each highway commissioner
shall enter upon the duties of | ||
his office on the third
first Monday in May
after his election.
| ||
In road districts comprised of a single township, the | ||
highway commissioner
shall be elected at the election provided | ||
for said commissioner by the general
election law. All | ||
elections as are provided in this Section shall be conducted
in | ||
accordance with the general election law.
