IL HB2218

Amends the Park District Code to increase the waiting period for electing additional board members from 60 days to 197 days after a referendum or resolution that expands or reduces board membership.

Extends the timeline for when reduced board membership takes effect from 60 days to 197 days, ensuring existing commissioners' terms are not affected during this longer transition period.

Changes the timing requirement for implementing changes to commissioner term lengths (from 6-year to 4-year terms or vice versa) from 60 days to 197 days after referendum or resolution approval.

Requires that new term structures commence at the first regular park district election occurring at least 197 days after the date of the referendum or resolution, rather than 60 days.

Takes effect immediately upon becoming law.
