(55 ILCS 5/4-8002) (from Ch. 34, par. 4-8002)
Sec. 4-8002. Additional compensation of sheriff and recorder.
(a) In addition
to any salary otherwise provided by law, beginning December 1, 1998, subject to appropriation, the
sheriff of Cook County for his or her additional duties imposed by other
statutes or laws shall
receive an annual stipend to be paid by the Illinois Department of Revenue out of the Personal Property Tax Replacement Fund in the
amount of $6,500. The county board shall not reduce or otherwise impair the
compensation payable from county funds to the sheriff if the reduction or
impairment is the result of the sheriff receiving a stipend payable from
State funds.
For State fiscal years beginning on or after July 1, 2023, the Department shall remit to each county the amount required for the additional compensation under this Section. That money shall be deposited by the county treasurer into a fund dedicated for that purpose. The county payroll clerk shall pay the additional compensation to the sheriff within 10 business days after those funds are deposited into the county fund. The stipend shall not be considered part of the sheriff's base compensation and must be remitted to the sheriff in addition to the sheriff's annual salary or compensation. Beginning July 1, 2023, the county shall be responsible for the State and federal income tax reporting and withholding as well as the employer contributions under the Illinois Pension Code on the compensation received from the Department under this Section. (b) In addition to any salary otherwise provided by law, beginning
December 1, 2000, subject to appropriation, the recorder of deeds of Cook County for his or her
additional
duties imposed by law shall receive an annual stipend to be paid by the State
in an amount equal to the stipend paid to each recorder in other counties under
subsection (d) of Section 4-6001 of this Code. The county board may not reduce
or otherwise impair the compensation
payable from county funds to the recorder of deeds if the reduction or
impairment is the result of the recorder of deeds receiving a stipend payable
from State funds.
