(705 ILCS 105/15) (from Ch. 25, par. 15)
Sec. 15.
Any clerk who fails to enter of record any order or
judgment of his or her court within 45 days after the same is made or
rendered, or any clerk having the duty to forward to the Department of
Public Health the record of any judgment of dissolution of marriage or declaration
of invalidity of marriage, who wilfully fails to do so within 45 days after
the close of the month in which the same is made or rendered, shall be guilty
of a petty offense and shall be fined by the court not exceeding $100, and
for any subsequent offense he or she may be fined in a like amount or
proceeded against as for a Class A misdemeanor in office and removed from
office. In any county of less than 500,000
inhabitants, when it appears to the majority of judges of such court
that there are an insufficient number of persons employed in the office
of the clerk of the court to properly make the entries in accordance
with this Section, the majority of judges of such court shall thereupon
determine and fix the number of deputies they find necessary to so
properly maintain the records, and their reasonable compensation shall
be paid out of the earnings of the office.
