State of Illinois
2025 and 2026
HB4265 Introduced 1/14/2026, by Rep. Daniel Didech SYNOPSIS AS INTRODUCED:
| | | Amends the Township Code. In provisions concerning disorderly conduct at township meetings, provides that if a person who has been ordered to withdraw from a township meeting by the moderator of a township meeting because of the person's disorderly conduct refuses to withdraw, then the moderator may report the person to an appropriate law enforcement agency (rather than order any police officer or other person to take the disorderly person from the meeting and confine the person in some convenient place until the meeting is adjourned). Removes provisions providing that the person refusing to withdraw shall, for that offense, forfeit a sum not exceeding $10 for the use of the township to be recovered in a civil action in the name of the township in the circuit court. |
