Bill > HB5702

This bill amends the Home Rule Village Act to modify the term of office for elected village officials. Specifically, it requires that all terms of village officers elected after December 31, 2024 must commence at 12 noon on December 1 following the officer's election, even if the village's charter currently provides for earlier commencement dates. The bill also states that individuals elected to fill a vacancy cannot take the oath of office until the results have been certified by the appropriate board of canvassers, regardless of any conflicting charter provisions.
