| (30 ILCS 805/3) (from Ch. 85, par. 2203)
| 7 |
| Sec. 3. Definition. As used in this Act:
(a) "Local | 8 |
| government" means a municipality, county, township, other
unit | 9 |
| of local government, school district, or community college
| 10 |
| district.
| 11 |
| (b) "State mandate" means any State-initiated
statutory or | 12 |
| executive action that
that requires a local government to
| 13 |
| establish, expand or modify its activities in such a way as to
| 14 |
| necessitate additional expenditures from local revenues, | 15 |
| excluding any
order issued by a court other than any order | 16 |
| enforcing such
statutory or executive action. State mandates | 17 |
| may be reimbursable or
nonreimbursable as provided in this Act. | 18 |
| However, where the General
Assembly enacts legislation to | 19 |
| comply with a federal
mandate, the State shall be exempt from | 20 |
| the requirement of reimbursing
for the cost of the mandated | 21 |
| program. | 22 |
| (c) "Local government organization and structure mandate" | 23 |
| means a
State mandate concerning such matters as (1) the form | 24 |
| of local
government and the adoption and revision of statutes | 25 |
| on the organization
of local government; (2) the establishment | 26 |
| of multi-county districts,
councils of governments, or other | 27 |
| forms and structures for interlocal
cooperation and | 28 |
| coordination; (3) the holding of local elections; (4)
the | 29 |
| designation of public officers, and their duties, powers and
| 30 |
| responsibilities; and (5) the prescription of administrative | 31 |
| practices
and procedures for local governing bodies.

|
| 1 |
| such
matters as the (1) administration of justice; (2) | 2 |
| notification and
conduct of public hearings; (3) procedures for | 3 |
| administrative and
judicial review of actions taken by local | 4 |
| governing bodies and (4)
protection of the public from | 5 |
| malfeasance, misfeasance, or nonfeasance
by local government | 6 |
| officials.
| 7 |
| (e) "Benefit spillover" means the process of accrual of | 8 |
| social or
other benefits from a governmental service to | 9 |
| jurisdictions adjacent to
or beyond the jurisdiction providing | 10 |
| the service.
| 11 |
| (f) "Service mandate" means a State mandate as to creation | 12 |
| or
expansion of governmental services or delivery standards | 13 |
| therefor and
those applicable to services having substantial | 14 |
| benefit spillover and

| concern. For purposes of this Act,
applicable services include | 16 |
| but are not limited to (1) elementary and
secondary education, | 17 |
| (2) community colleges, (3) public health, (4)
hospitals, (5) | 18 |
| public assistance, (6) air pollution control, (7) water
| 19 |
| pollution control, (8) solid waste treatment and disposal. A | 20 |
| State
mandate that expands the duties of a public official by | 21 |

provision of additional services is a "service | 22 |
| mandate" rather than a
"local government organization and | 23 |
| structure mandate".
| 24 |
| (g) "Tax exemption mandate" means a State mandate that | 25 |
| exempts
privately owned property or other specified items from | 26 |

base, such as (1) exemption of business | 27 |
| inventories from the local
property tax base, and (2) exemption | 28 |
| of food or medicine from the local
"sales" tax.
| 29 |
| (h) "Personnel mandate" means a State mandate concerning or
| 30 |
| affecting local government (1) salaries and wages; (2) employee
| 31 |
| qualifications and training (except when any civil service | 32 |

| or agency established
by State law sets and administers | 34 |
| standards relative to merit-based
recruitment or candidates | 35 |
| for employment or conducts and grades
examinations and rates | 36 |
| candidates in order of their relative excellence
