SB3332 Summary

• Amends the Public Officer Prohibited Activities Act and the Public Officer Simultaneous Tenure Act to permit elected county officials to hold elected office in another unit of local government simultaneously, provided there is no disqualifying contractual relationship between the entities.

• Defines a "disqualifying contractual relationship" as one not available to other units of local government in that county; general contractual relationships available to multiple units (including Homeland Security, emergency management, storm water management, environmental protection, energy conservation, and federal/state grants) do not disqualify simultaneous tenure.

• Prohibits an elected county official from voting on any general contractual relationship proposition in either their county or other unit of local government capacity when holding both offices simultaneously.

• Declares that Public Act 89-89 and this amendatory act are declarative of existing law regarding the lawfulness of simultaneous tenure and validates all prior actions of officials serving in multiple offices that comply with these provisions.

• Effective upon becoming law.
