    AN ACT concerning local government.
  
 
    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
 
represented in the General Assembly:
  


 
    Section 5. The Public Officer Prohibited Activities Act is 
amended by changing Sections 2a and 4 as follows:
 



    (50 ILCS 105/2a)  (from Ch. 102, par. 2a)



    Sec. 2a. Township officials Township supervisors and 
trustees. 
    (a) No township
supervisor or trustee, during the term of 
office for which he or
she is elected, may accept, be appointed 
to, or hold any office
by the appointment of the board of 
township trustees unless he or
she first resigns from the 
office of supervisor or trustee or
unless the appointment is 
specifically authorized by law. A
supervisor or trustee may, 
however, serve as a volunteer firefighter fireman
and receive 
compensation for that service.  Any appointment in
violation of 
this Section is void.
Nothing in this Act shall be construed to 
prohibit an elected township
official from holding elected 
office in another unit of local government as
long as there is 
no contractual relationship between the township and the other

unit of local government.  This amendatory Act of 1995 is 
declarative of
existing law and is not a new enactment.
    (b) On and after the effective date of this amendatory Act 
of the 100th General Assembly, a person elected to or appointed 
to fill a vacancy in an elected township position, including, 
but not limited to, a trustee, a supervisor, a highway 
commissioner, a clerk, an assessor, or a collector, shall not 
be employed by the township, except that a supervisor or 
trustee may serve as a volunteer firefighter
and receive 
compensation for that service as provided in subsection (a).

    (50 ILCS 105/4)  (from Ch. 102, par. 4)



    Sec. 4. 

Any alderman, member of a board of trustees, 
supervisor or county
commissioner, or other person holding any 
office, either by election or
appointment under the laws or 
constitution of this state, who violates any
provision of the 
preceding sections, is guilty of a Class 4 felony and in

addition thereto, any office or official position held by any 
person so
convicted shall become vacant, and shall be so 
declared as part of the
judgment of court. This Section does 
not apply to a violation of subsection (b) of Section 2a.
