3 Sec. 3.1-10-50. Events upon which an elective office
4becomes vacant in municipality with population under 500,000.
5 (a) Vacancy by resignation. A resignation is not effective
6unless it is in writing, signed by the person holding the
7elective office, and notarized.
8 (1) Unconditional resignation. An unconditional
9 resignation by a person holding the elective office may
10 specify a future date, not later than 60 days after the
11 date the resignation is received by the officer authorized
12 to fill the vacancy, at which time it becomes operative,
13 but the resignation may not be withdrawn after it is
14 received by the officer authorized to fill the vacancy. The
15 effective date of a resignation that does not specify a
16 future date at which it becomes operative is the date the
17 resignation is received by the officer authorized to fill
18 the vacancy. The effective date of a resignation that has a
19 specified future effective date is that specified future
20 date or the date the resignation is received by the officer
21 authorized to fill the vacancy, whichever date occurs
22 later.
23 (2) Conditional resignation. A resignation that does
24 not become effective unless a specified event occurs can be
25 withdrawn at any time prior to the occurrence of the

HB3994 Engrossed- 56 -LRB101 15674 RJF 65023 b
1 specified event, but if not withdrawn, the effective date
2 of the resignation is the date of the occurrence of the
3 specified event or the date the resignation is received by
4 the officer authorized to fill the vacancy, whichever date
5 occurs later.
6 (3) Vacancy upon the effective date. For the purpose of
7 determining the time period that would require an election
8 to fill the vacancy by resignation or the commencement of
9 the 60-day time period referred to in subsection (e), the
10 resignation of an elected officer is deemed to have created
11 a vacancy as of the effective date of the resignation.
12 (4) Duty of the clerk. If a resignation is delivered to
13 the clerk of the municipality, the clerk shall forward a
14 certified copy of the written resignation to the official
15 who is authorized to fill the vacancy within 7 business
16 days after receipt of the resignation.
17 (b) Vacancy by death or disability. A vacancy occurs in an
18office by reason of the death of the incumbent. The date of the
19death may be established by the date shown on the death
20certificate. A vacancy occurs in an office by permanent
21physical or mental disability rendering the person incapable of
22performing the duties of the office. The corporate authorities
23have the authority to make the determination whether an officer
24is incapable of performing the duties of the office because of
25a permanent physical or mental disability. A finding of mental
26disability shall not be made prior to the appointment by a

HB3994 Engrossed- 57 -LRB101 15674 RJF 65023 b
1court of a guardian ad litem for the officer or until a duly
2licensed doctor certifies, in writing, that the officer is
3mentally impaired to the extent that the officer is unable to
4effectively perform the duties of the office. If the corporate
5authorities find that an officer is incapable of performing the
6duties of the office due to permanent physical or mental
7disability, that person is removed from the office and the
8vacancy of the office occurs on the date of the determination.
9 (c) Vacancy by other causes.
10 (1) Abandonment and other causes. A vacancy occurs in
11 an office by reason of abandonment of office; removal from
12 office; or failure to qualify; or more than temporary
13 removal of residence from the municipality; or in the case
14 of an alderperson alderman of a ward or councilman or
15 trustee of a district, more than temporary removal of
16 residence from the ward or district, as the case may be.
17 The corporate authorities have the authority to determine
18 whether a vacancy under this subsection has occurred. If
19 the corporate authorities determine that a vacancy exists,
20 the office is deemed vacant as of the date of that
21 determination for all purposes including the calculation
22 under subsections (e), (f), and (g).
23 (2) Guilty of a criminal offense. An admission of guilt
24 of a criminal offense that upon conviction would disqualify
25 the municipal officer from holding the office, in the form
26 of a written agreement with State or federal prosecutors to

HB3994 Engrossed- 58 -LRB101 15674 RJF 65023 b
1 plead guilty to a felony, bribery, perjury, or other
2 infamous crime under State or federal law, constitutes a
3 resignation from that office, effective on the date the
4 plea agreement is made. For purposes of this Section, a
5 conviction for an offense that disqualifies a municipal
6 officer from holding that office occurs on the date of the
7 return of a guilty verdict or, in the case of a trial by
8 the court, on the entry of a finding of guilt.
9 (3) Election declared void. A vacancy occurs on the
10 date of the decision of a competent tribunal declaring the
11 election of the officer void.
12 (4) Owing a debt to the municipality. A vacancy occurs
13 if a municipal official fails to pay a debt to a

3 the matter if a debt owed to the municipality is not
4 proved. A copy of the hearing officer's written
5 determination shall be served upon the municipal
6 official in open proceedings before the hearing
7 officer. If the municipal official does not appear for
8 receipt of the written determination, the written
9 determination shall be deemed to have been served on
10 the municipal official on the date when a copy of the
11 written determination is personally served on the
12 municipal official or on the date when a copy of the
13 written determination is deposited in the United
14 States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the

20 the county in which the hearing was held. The municipal
21 official seeking judicial review must file a petition
22 with the clerk of the court and must serve a copy of
23 the petition upon the municipality by registered or

8 ordered by the court. The court shall set the matter
9 for hearing to be held within 30 days after the filing
10 of the petition and shall make its decision promptly
11 after such hearing.
12 (E) If a municipal official chooses to pay the
13 debt, or is ordered to pay the debt after the hearing,
14 the municipal official must present proof of payment to
15 the municipal clerk that the debt was paid in full,
16 and, if applicable, within the required time period as
17 ordered by a hearing officer or circuit court judge.

3mayor or acting president shall exercise the powers of the
4mayor or president but shall be entitled to vote only in the

HB3994 Engrossed- 91 -LRB101 15674 RJF 65023 b
1the city immediately preceding the division of the city into
2wards shall be as nearly equal in population, and the wards
3shall be of as compact and contiguous territory, as
4practicable. Wards shall be created in a manner so that, as far
5as practicable, no precinct shall be divided between 2 or more
6wards.
7 (b) Whenever an official decennial census shows that a city
8contains more or fewer wards than it is entitled to, the city
9council of the city, by ordinance, shall redistrict the city
10into as many wards as the city is entitled. This redistricting
11shall be completed not less than 30 days before the first day
12set by the general election law for the filing of candidate
13petitions for the next succeeding election for city officers.
14At this election there shall be elected the number of

16provided in subsection (c).
17 (c) If it appears from any official decennial census that
18it is necessary to redistrict under subsection (b) or for any
19other reason, the city council shall immediately proceed to
20redistrict the city and shall hold the next city election in
21accordance with the new redistricting. At this election the
22alderpersons aldermen whose terms of office are not expiring
23shall be considered alderpersons aldermen for the new wards
24respectively in which their residences are situated. At this
25election, in a municipality that is not a newly incorporated
26municipality, a candidate for alderperson alderman may be

HB3994 Engrossed- 92 -LRB101 15674 RJF 65023 b
1elected from any ward that contains a part of the ward in which
2he or she resided at least one year next preceding the election
3that follows the redistricting, and, if elected, that person
4may be reelected from the new ward he or she represents if he
5or she resides in that ward for at least one year next
6preceding reelection. If there are 2 or more alderpersons
7aldermen with terms of office not expiring and residing in the
8same ward under the new redistricting, the alderperson alderman
9who holds over for that ward shall be determined by lot in the
10presence of the city council, in the manner directed by the
11council, and all other alderpersons aldermen shall fill their
12unexpired terms as alderpersons-at-large aldermen-at-large.
13The alderpersons-at-large aldermen-at-large, if any, shall
14have the same powers and duties as all other alderpersons
15aldermen, but upon the expiration of their terms the offices of
16alderpersons-at-large aldermen-at-large shall be abolished.
17 (d) If the redistricting results in one or more wards in
18which no alderpersons aldermen reside whose terms of office
19have not expired, 2 alderpersons aldermen shall be elected in
20accordance with Section 3.1-20-35, unless the city elected only
21one alderperson alderman per ward pursuant to a referendum
22under subsection (a) of Section 3.1-20-20.
23 (e) A redistricting ordinance that has decreased the number
24of wards of a city because of a decrease in population of the
25city shall not be effective if, not less than 60 days before
26the time fixed for the next succeeding general municipal

16conform as nearly as possible to the former division. If the
17plan authorized by this Article 5 is abandoned, the next
