Bill Summary
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). Effective immediately.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Illinois Counties Code to increase the annual award for county clerks, county recorders, and chief clerks of county election commissions in counties with less than 2,000,000 inhabitants. Specifically, the bill raises the annual award from the previous $6,500 to $13,000 in calendar year 2025, $14,000 in calendar year 2026, and $15,000 in calendar year 2027 and thereafter. Starting July 1, 2024, counties will be responsible for remitting these stipends, which are separate from base compensation, and handling the associated tax reporting and pension contributions. The bill ensures that these additional awards do not reduce the officers' existing compensation and are to be paid in addition to their regular annual salary. The purpose appears to be providing supplemental compensation to these specific county officials, with a graduated increase over three years, while establishing clear guidelines for payment and tax treatment of the stipend.
