IL SB3106

Amends the Illinois Governmental Ethics Act to establish how partisanship is determined for gubernatorial appointees to offices requiring specific party affiliation or limiting appointees from a single party.

A person's partisanship is based on their voting in the 3 general primary elections immediately preceding their appointment effective date.

Persons who did not vote, did not request a partisan ballot, or requested ballots for 2 or more different political parties in those 3 primary elections are deemed independent for partisanship purposes.

Once appointed, no person can be disqualified from continuing in office or holding over based on their voting in general primary elections after the appointment.
