Bill > HB2132

This bill makes a technical amendment to the Township Code regarding compensation for township officers, specifically clarifying language about how and when township boards set compensation for various township positions. The bill modifies Section 65-20 to remove a redundant "the" in the text and maintains the existing provisions that require township boards to set compensation for officers like the road district treasurer at least 180 days before the beginning of their terms. The compensation for a road district treasurer is still required to be between $100 and $1,000 annually, and the bill preserves existing rules about setting compensation for other officers like township assessors and collectors. Additionally, the bill retains language about how compensation is determined for officers in newly established townships, which depends on the township with the highest equalized assessed valuation as of December 31, 1972.
