IL SB0295

Establishes that an appointee's political party affiliation for gubernatorial appointments requiring specific partisanship or limiting single-party representation will be determined by their voting record in the 3 general primary elections immediately preceding their appointment

Classifies appointees as "independent" if they did not vote, did not request a partisan ballot, or requested partisan ballots from 2 or more different political parties across the 3 preceding general primary elections

Protects appointed officials from disqualification during their term based on how they vote in primary elections after their appointment takes effect

Applies to all gubernatorial nominations made after the bill's effective date, including acting and temporary appointments

Amends the Illinois Governmental Ethics Act (5 ILCS 420/3A-40) to add these partisanship determination requirements
