| 1 | | AMENDMENT TO HOUSE BILL 6418
|
| 2 | | AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend House Bill 6418 by replacing |
| 3 | | everything after the enacting clause with the following:
|
| 4 | | "Section 5. The Counties Code is amended by changing |
| 5 | | Section 2-3007 as follows:
|
| 6 | | (55 ILCS 5/2-3007) (from Ch. 34, par. 2-3007)
|
| 7 | | Sec. 2-3007. Chairman of county board; election and term. |
| 8 | | Any
county board when providing for the reapportionment of its |
| 9 | | county under
this Division may provide that the chairman of the |
| 10 | | county board shall be
elected by the voters of the county |
| 11 | | rather than by the members of the
board. In that event, |
| 12 | | provision shall be made for the election throughout
the county |
| 13 | | of the chairman of the county board, but in counties over
|
| 14 | | 3,000,000 population no person may be elected to serve as such |
| 15 | | chairman who
has not been elected as a county board member to |
| 16 | | serve during the same
period as the term of office as chairman |
|
| | 09900HB6418ham001 | - 2 - | LRB099 20949 AWJ 49308 a |
|
|
| 1 | | of the county board to which he
seeks election. In counties |
| 2 | | over 300,000 450,000 population and under 3,000,000
|
| 3 | | population, the chairman shall be elected as chairman without |
| 4 | | having been
first elected to the county board. Such chairman |
| 5 | | shall not vote on any
question except to break a tie vote. In |
| 6 | | all other counties the chairman may
either be elected as a |
| 7 | | county board member or elected as the chairman
without having |
| 8 | | been first elected to the board. Except in counties where
the |
| 9 | | chairman of the county board is elected by the voters of the |
| 10 | | county and
is not required to be a county board member, whether |
| 11 | | the chairman of the
county board is elected by the voters of |
| 12 | | the county or by the members of
the board, he shall be elected |
| 13 | | to a 2 year term. In counties where the
chairman of the county |
| 14 | | board is elected by the voters of the county and is
not |
| 15 | | required to be a county board member, the chairman shall be |
| 16 | | elected to
a 4 year term. In all cases: (i) , the term of the |
| 17 | | chairman
of the county board shall commence on the first Monday |
| 18 | | of the month
following the month in which members of the county |
| 19 | | board are elected, and (ii) no person may simultaneously serve |
| 20 | | as a member of a county board and the chairman of the same |
| 21 | | board if the office of chairman is elected by the voters of the |
| 22 | | county rather than by the members of the board.
