| ||||||
4 | "Section 5. If and only if House Bill 5727 of the 96th | ||||||
5 | General Assembly becomes law, then the Counties Code is amended | ||||||

| ||||||
7 | (55 ILCS 5/2-3003) (from Ch. 34, par. 2-3003)
| ||||||
8 | Sec. 2-3003. Apportionment plan.
| ||||||
9 | (1) If the county board determines
that members shall be | ||||||
10 | elected by districts, it shall develop an
apportionment plan | ||||||
11 | and specify the number of districts and the number of
county | ||||||
12 | board members to be elected from each district and whether | ||||||
13 | voters will
have cumulative voting rights in multi-member | ||||||
14 | districts. Each such district:
| ||||||
15 | a. Shall be equal in population to each other district;
| ||||||
16 | b. Shall be comprised of contiguous territory, as |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | nearly compact as
practicable; and
| ||||||
2 | c. May divide townships or municipalities only when | ||||||
3 | necessary to conform
to the population requirement of | ||||||
4 | paragraph a. of this Section.
| ||||||
5 | d. Shall be created in such a manner so that no | ||||||
6 | precinct shall be
divided between 2 or more districts, | ||||||
7 | insofar as is practicable.
| ||||||
8 | (2) The county board of each county having a population of | ||||||
9 | less than
3,000,000 inhabitants may, if it should so decide, | ||||||
10 | provide within that
county for single member districts outside | ||||||
11 | the corporate limits and
multi-member districts within the | ||||||
12 | corporate limits of any municipality with
a population in | ||||||
13 | excess of 75,000. Paragraphs a, b, c and d of subsection
(1) of | ||||||
14 | this Section shall apply to the apportionment of both single | ||||||
15 | and
multi-member districts within a county to the extent that | ||||||
16 | compliance with
paragraphs a, b, c and d still permit the | ||||||
17 | establishment of such districts,
except that the population of | ||||||
18 | any multi-member district shall be equal to
the population of | ||||||
19 | any single member district, times the number of members
found | ||||||
20 | within that multi-member district. | ||||||
21 | (3) In a county where the Chairman of the County Board is | ||||||
22 | elected by the voters of the county as provided in Section | ||||||

25 | in the year after a federal decennial census year an | ||||||
26 | apportionment plan in accordance with the provisions of |

6 | the Chairman's plan was presented to the Board, and the public | ||||||
7 | shall be given notice of the hearing at least 6 days in | ||||||
8 | advance. If the Chairman presents a plan by the second third | ||||||
9 | Wednesday in April May , the Board is prohibited from enacting | ||||||
10 | an apportionment plan until after a hearing on the plan | ||||||
11 | presented by the Chairman. The Chairman shall have access to | ||||||
12 | the federal decennial census available to the Board. | ||||||
13 | (4) In a county where a County Executive is elected by the | ||||||
14 | voters of the county as provided in 2-5007 of the Counties | ||||||
15 | Code, the County Executive may develop and present to the Board | ||||||
16 | by the third Wednesday in May in the year after a federal | ||||||
17 | decennial census year an apportionment plan in accordance with | ||||||
18 | the provisions of subsection (1) of this Section. If the | ||||||
19 | Executive presents a plan to the Board by the third Wednesday | ||||||
20 | in May, the Board shall conduct at least one public hearing to | ||||||
21 | receive comments and to discuss the apportionment plan, the | ||||||
22 | hearing shall be held at least 6 days but not more than 21 days | ||||||
23 | after the Executive's plan was presented to the Board, and the | ||||||
24 | public shall be given notice of the hearing at least 6 days in | ||||||
25 | advance. If the Executive presents a plan by the third | ||||||
26 | Wednesday in May, the Board is prohibited from enacting an |
| |||||||
| |||||||
