Sec. 1. Legislative findings; purpose. The General Assembly finds and declares that questions raised regarding the legality of simultaneously holding the office of county board member and township supervisor are unwarranted, and in counties of less than 100,000 population such questions regarding the legality of simultaneously holding the office of county board member and township trustee are unwarranted; that the General Assembly viewed the office of township supervisor, and in counties of less than 100,000 population the office of township trustee, and the office of county board member as compatible; and that to settle the question of legality and avoid confusion among such counties and townships as may be affected by such questions it is lawful to hold the office of county board member simultaneously with the office of township supervisor, and in counties of less than 100,000 population with the office of township trustee, in accordance with Sections 2 and 3.

Sec. 5. Members of the General Assembly; elected officers of units of local government. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a unit of local government may not adopt an ordinance, referendum, or resolution that requires a member of the General Assembly to resign his or her office in order to be eligible to seek elected office in the unit of local government. Any ordinance, referendum, or resolution that contains such a provision is void.
A home rule unit may not regulate the eligibility requirements for those seeking elected office in the unit of local government in a manner inconsistent with this Section. This Section is a limitation under subsection (i) of Section 6 of Article VII of the Illinois Constitution on the concurrent exercise by home rule units of powers and functions exercised by the State.
This Section applies to ordinances, referenda, or resolutions adopted on or after November 8, 2016.
