| Public Act 099-0774 | ||||
| ||||
| ||||
AN ACT concerning local government.
| ||||
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||
represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||
Section 5. The Counties Code is amended by changing | ||||
Sections 2-1005 and 3-4010 as follows:
| ||||
(55 ILCS 5/2-1005) (from Ch. 34, par. 2-1005)
| ||||
Sec. 2-1005. Quorum; approval of ordinances. A majority of | ||||
the
members of any county board shall constitute a quorum for | ||||
the transaction
of business; and all questions, ordinances, | ||||
resolutions, or motions which shall arise at meetings shall be
| ||||
determined by the votes of the majority of the members present, | ||||
except in
such cases as is otherwise provided.
| ||||
A county board in a county where the chairman is elected at | ||||
large may
upon passage, adoption or enactment of a specific | ||||
ordinance, resolution, or motion apply the
following | ||||
provisions: Any ordinance, resolution, or motion passed, | ||||
adopted or otherwise enacted by
the board in a county where the | ||||
chairman is elected at large shall be
presented to the chairman | ||||
before it becomes effective. If the chairman
approves such | ||||
ordinance, resolution or motion, he shall sign it and it shall
| ||||
become law on the date prescribed; if not, he shall return it | ||||
to the board
within 10 business days with his objections and | ||||
the board shall proceed
to reconsider the matter at its next | ||||
meeting, to be held within 30 business
days of the board's | ||
receipt of the chairman's objections. If after such
| ||
reconsideration a majority of the members of the board pass | ||
such ordinance, resolution, or motion,
it shall become | ||
effective on the date prescribed but not earlier than the
date | ||
of passage following reconsideration. If any ordinance, | ||
resolution, or motion is not returned
by the chairman to the | ||
board within 10 business days after it has been
presented to | ||
him, it shall become effective at the end of the 10th day. | ||
The county board at any properly noticed public meeting may | ||
by unanimous consent take a single vote by yeas and nays on the | ||
several questions of the passage of any 2 or more of the | ||
designated
ordinances, orders, resolutions, or motions placed | ||
together for voting purposes in a single group. The single vote | ||
shall be entered
separately in the minutes under the | ||
designation "omnibus vote", and in that event the clerk may | ||
enter the words "omnibus vote" or "consent agenda" in the | ||
minutes in each case instead of entering the names of the | ||
members of the county board voting "yea" and those voting "nay" | ||
on the passage of each of the designated ordinances, orders, | ||
resolutions, and motions included in the omnibus group or | ||
consent agenda. The taking of a single or omnibus vote and the | ||
entries of the words "omnibus vote"
or "consent agenda" in the | ||
minutes shall be a sufficient compliance with the requirements | ||
of this Section to all intents and purposes and with like | ||
effect as if the vote in each case had been taken separately by | ||
yeas and nays on the question of the passage of each ordinance, | ||
order, resolution, and motion included in the omnibus group and | ||
separately recorded in the minutes. Likewise, the yeas and nays | ||
shall
be taken upon the question of the passage of any other | ||
ordinance, resolution, or motion at the request of any county | ||
board member and shall be recorded in the minutes. The changes | ||
to this Section made by this amendatory Act of the 99th General | ||
Assembly are declarative of existing law and do not change the | ||
substantive operation of this Section.

| ||
Sec. 3-4010. Records; reports in counties under 1,000,000. | ||
The
Public Defender in counties with a population under | ||

or her and prepare and file quarterly or monthly, as determined | ||
by the County Board, with
the County Board a written report of | ||
such services transmitting a copy of
such report to the clerk | ||
of the Circuit Court for the judges thereof. In
cases where 2 | ||
or more adjoining counties have joined to form a common
office | ||
of Public Defender, the Public Defender so appointed shall file | ||
his or her quarterly or
monthly report with each of the several | ||
county boards involved.
