Bill > HB4180

This bill amends the Counties Code to mandate that county clerk offices must be closed on all legal holidays, regardless of the county's population size. Currently, the law specifies different office hours for counties with populations over and under 500,000, but did not explicitly require closure on legal holidays for all counties. The bill modifies existing language to ensure that county clerk offices will be closed on legal holidays, while still allowing county boards the flexibility to determine other office hours through a resolution passed at a regular meeting. The bill maintains existing provisions about office hours on working days and special circumstances like election days, where the office must remain open to receive election returns. The change aims to standardize holiday closures across all counties in Illinois, providing consistency in county clerk office operations statewide.
