Bill > HB2128

This bill makes a minor technical adjustment to the Township Code, which is a set of laws governing townships in Illinois. Specifically, it clarifies how certain terms are used when referring to towns and townships in other state laws. The change ensures that when another law mentions "town" (unless it's an "incorporated town," which is a specific type of municipality), it should be understood to mean "township" as defined in the Township Code. This also applies to references to the governing bodies of towns, such as the "board of trustees of a town," which will now be understood as a "township board," and to town officers, who will be considered "township officers." The purpose of this amendment is to standardize terminology and avoid confusion when different laws interact.
