    (55 ILCS 5/3-10020)  (from Ch. 34, par. 3-10020)



    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.
