    AN ACT concerning local 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 
2-6008 as follows:
 



    (55 ILCS 5/2-6008)  (from Ch. 34, par. 2-6008)



    Sec. 2-6008. Approval of ordinances. All ordinances, 
resolutions or
motions shall be submitted to
said board of 
commissioners in writing, or reduced to writing before any
vote 
shall be taken thereon; and if adopted by the board, the same 
shall
not take effect until after the same shall have been 
approved in writing by
the president of said board, except as 
hereinafter provided. It shall be
the duty of the clerk of said 
board to deliver to the president thereof,
upon his request, 
the original (or a copy) of each ordinance, resolution or

motion, so passed or adopted by said board as aforesaid, within 
one day
after its passage or adoption; and in case the 
president approves thereof,
he shall sign the same, and it 
shall thereupon be in full force and effect.
In case the 
president shall not approve any such ordinance, resolution or

motion, he shall, within five days after the receipt of the 
same as
aforesaid, return it to the clerk of said board, with 
his objections
thereto in writing. Such veto by the president 
may extend to any one or
more items or appropriations contained 
in any resolution making an
appropriation, or to the entire 
resolution; and in case the veto only
extends to a part of such 
resolution making an appropriation, the residue
thereof not 
embraced within the veto shall take effect and be in force from

the time of the receipt by said clerk of such veto of such 
part. Upon the
return of any such ordinance, resolution or 
motion by the president, with
his objections thereto as 
aforesaid, the vote by which the same was passed
shall be 
reconsidered by the board of commissioners as to so much 
thereof
as may have been vetoed; and if, after such 
reconsideration, three-fifths
four-fifths of
all the members 
elected to the board shall agree to pass the same by yeas
and 
nays, to be entered on the journal, the same shall take effect,

notwithstanding the president may have refused to approve 
thereof. In case
the president shall fail or omit to either 
sign and approve or return, with
his objections as aforesaid, 
any such ordinance, motion or resolution which
shall have been 
passed or adopted by the board within six days after it
shall 
have been so passed or adopted, the same shall take effect 
without
the approval of the president.
