Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS)
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.
(70 ILCS 1710/6) (from Ch. 85, par. 1156)
Sec. 6.
Commissioners appointed by the
Governor prior to the effective date of this amendatory Act of 1975
shall serve the balance of 6-year terms to which they were appointed.
Subsequent to the effective date of the amendatory Act of 1975,
the Governor shall make no appointments of Commissioners to new terms
or to fill vacancies until such time as the total number of Commissioners
so appointed by the Governor and then holding valid terms on the
Commission shall be reduced by expiration of terms, or attrition, or
otherwise, to 7 in number. Thereafter, Commissioners shall be
appointed by the Governor to fill terms expiring in such manner as
to maintain the number of Governor-appointed Commissioners at 8 in number. Commissioners
so appointed after the effective date of
the amendatory Act of 1975 shall serve for terms of 4 years and until
successors are appointed and qualified, such terms to commence on
October 1 of the year in which such Commissioners are each first
appointed, provided that initial appointments of Commissioners by
the Governor pursuant to revisions enacted by the amendatory Act
of 1975 shall be made for terms of one year, 2 years, 3 years, or 4
years (as the Governor shall determine in the case of each
appointment) in order to establish a pattern of staggered terms of office
in which the terms of 2 Governor-appointed Commissioners expire in each calendar year.
Commissioners appointed or selected by means other than appointment
by the Governor or by virtue of holding an elective or appointive
position separate from the Commission shall serve at the pleasure of
the appointing or selecting agency, provided they remain qualified
for service as a Commissioner, and provided further that each person
or authority making such an appointment shall review the advisability
of changing the person so appointed or selected at least every 2 years.
If a vacancy occurs by death, resignation or otherwise
among Governor-appointed Commissioners,
the Governor
shall fill the vacancy by an appointment for the unexpired term, subject to the prohibition
set forth above precluding the filling of vacancies, after the
effective date of the amendatory Act of 1975, until the number of
Governor-appointed Commissioners is reduced to 7 in number. In
the event of a vacancy by reason of death, resignation or otherwise
among Commissioners selected by means other than appointment by the
Governor or by virtue of holding an elective or appointive position
separate from the Commission, the proper selecting authority shall
make a replacement appointment within a reasonable time period not exceeding 90 days.
