(50 ILCS 105/2a) (from Ch. 102, par. 2a)
Sec. 2a. Township officials. (a) No township
supervisor or trustee, during the term of office for which he or
she is elected, may accept, be appointed to, or hold any office
by the appointment of the board of township trustees unless he or
she first resigns from the office of supervisor or trustee or
unless the appointment is specifically authorized by law. A
supervisor or trustee may, however, serve as a volunteer firefighter
and receive compensation for that service. Any appointment in
violation of this Section is void.
Nothing in this Act shall be construed to prohibit an elected township
official from holding elected office in another unit of local government as
long as there is no contractual relationship between the township and the other
unit of local government. This amendatory Act of 1995 is declarative of
existing law and is not a new enactment. (b) On and after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 100th General Assembly, a person elected to or appointed to fill a vacancy in an elected township position, including, but not limited to, a trustee, a supervisor, a highway commissioner, a clerk, an assessor, or a collector, shall not be employed by the township, except that a supervisor or trustee may serve as a volunteer firefighter
and receive compensation for that service as provided in subsection (a).
