Bill > HB3238

This bill amends the Illinois Highway Code to modify how highway commissioners can be compensated in single-township districts. Specifically, the bill allows highway commissioners in these districts to have their salary partially or fully paid from either the corporate road and bridge fund, the permanent road fund, or both, provided this arrangement is approved by both the township board and the highway commissioner. Previously, these commissioners were primarily paid from the general township fund, with only up to 50% potentially coming from the corporate road and bridge or permanent road fund. The change gives local governments more flexibility in funding highway commissioner salaries, potentially helping districts manage their financial resources more efficiently. The bill maintains existing provisions regarding the overall compensation structure, including the minimum annual salary of $3,000 and the requirement for a sworn statement detailing days worked before payment can be made.
