| (c) The 6 resident judgeships elected from Lake County | 2 |
| before the general

| judgeships in the 19th circuit on
December 4,
2006, and the 3 | 4 |
| resident judgeships elected from McHenry County before the
| 5 |
| general

| 7 |
| (d) On December 4, 2006, the Supreme Court shall allocate | 8 |
| the associate
judgeships of the 19th circuit before that date | 9 |
| between the 19th and 22nd
circuits based
on the population of | 10 |
| those circuits ; however, the number of associate judges in the | 11 |
| 19th circuit on and after December 4, 2006 shall be no less | 12 |
| than the number of associate judges residing in Lake County on | 13 |
| March 22, 2004 . An associate judge appointed from a subcircuit | 14 |
| of the 19th circuit must reside in the subcircuit from which he | 15 |

| of the 93rd General Assembly. On and after December 4, 2006 in | 20 |
| the 19th circuit, associate judgeships shall be allocated | 21 |
| equally among the subcircuits created in accordance with | 22 |
| Section 2f-2. If, after associate judgeships are allocated | 23 |
| equally among the subcircuits of the 19th circuit, there are | 24 |
| any remaining associate judgeships that have not been allocated | 25 |
| to any subcircuit, those remaining associate judgeships shall | 26 |

| concerning the 19th circuit before that date between the 19th | 31 |
| and 22nd
circuits
based on the population and staffing needs of | 32 |
| those circuits and the efficient
and proper
administration of | 33 |
| the judicial system. The rights of employees under applicable
| 34 |
| collective bargaining agreements are not affected by this |
