Miscellaneous New Laws Signed Into Law
A few miscellaneous new Illinois laws were signed into law last Friday that may affect units of local government, including the following:
P.A. 101-0041 amends the Fire Protection District Act to require a fire protection district to post on its website notices of any proposal to award any contract for work that will exceed $20,000. The amendment also removes a requirement that other notices be published in a daily newspaper.
P.A. 101-0047 amends the non-home rule municipal sales tax statute to extend the time period for non-home rule municipalities to use the local sales tax revenues for municipal operations to July 1, 2030. The previous deadline was December 31, 2020.
P.A. 101-0058 amends the Park District statute to add new language regarding the staggering of terms of office for members of 7 member park district boards that have approved a change to the term of office from six years to four years. The new statutory language is below:
(2) On a 7-member board under Section 2-10a, if the terms of only 2 commissioners are scheduled to expire in the year of the second election at which commissioners are elected after the first regular park district election at least 60 days after the date on which the proposition for 4-year terms was approved at referendum or by resolution, then:(A) if 3 commissioners are elected at the first regular election, 2 of the commissioners elected shall serve a 2-year term and one shall serve a 4-year term to be determined by lot between persons elected within 30 days after the first election; or(B) if 2 commissioners are elected at the first regular election, those 2 commissioners elected shall serve a 2-year term.
