Amends the Counties Code. Provides that, in addition to but separate and apart from the compensation otherwise provided in the Code, the county clerk of each county, the recorder of each county, and the chief clerk of each county board of election commissioners shall receive an annual award of $13,000 for calendar year 2025, $14,000 for calendar year 2026, and $15,000 for calendar year 2027 and for each calendar year thereafter (rather than a $6,500 award per year).

AI Summary
This bill amends the Illinois Counties Code to increase the annual supplemental compensation for county clerks, county recorders, and chief clerks of county election commissions. Specifically, the bill provides these officials with an annual award of $13,000 for calendar year 2025, $14,000 for calendar year 2026, and $15,000 for calendar year 2027 and each subsequent year, which is a significant increase from the previous annual award of $6,500. The bill also stipulates that starting July 1, 2024, the State Board of Elections will remit the stipend amount to each county, and the county will be responsible for processing the payment and handling tax reporting and pension contributions. The supplemental award is separate from the officers' base compensation and cannot be used as a reason to reduce their existing salary. This change applies to counties with less than 2,000,000 inhabitants and is designed to provide additional financial support to these county-level administrative officials.
