Counties Code
(Tom Bennett, R-Pontiac; Barickman, R-Bloomington) amends the Counties Code to clarify that “all questions” or “ordinances” also includes any resolutions and motions that arise during meetings. It also allows a county at any properly noticed public meeting to take a single or omnibus vote by unanimous consent on any two or more questions, ordinances, resolutions, or motions. The bill states that this is declarative of existing law. It also requires public defenders in counties under one million population prepare and file monthly or quarterly written reports as determined by the county board. Passed both chambers.
