Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

Board vacancy.

A vacancy in the membership of the board shall be filled as follows:

If the vacancy is that of an ex-officio member, the mayor of the city
shall appoint a person to serve until a person qualified as hereinbefore
described shall assume the duties of member. If the vacancy is that of an
elective office the remaining elective members of the board shall appoint a

elected and qualified for the remainder of the unexpired term. The employee
shall be elected at a special election to be held concurrently with and in
the same manner as the next regular election for an employee member.

Any elective member who leaves the service of the employer or becomes a
member of any other annuity and benefit fund, or any pension fund, shall
automatically cease to be a member of the board.
