TOWN BUSINESS ~ Supervisor: R. Zeine discussed the notice he received concerning Senate Bill 3789 that was signed by Governor Pritzker on June 10, 2022, and became Public Act 102-1088
This legislation creates the decennial Committees on Local Government Consolidation and Efficiency Act. Township Government must by June 10, 2023, and every 10 years after must form a committee to study the following:
• Local efficiencies
• An analysis of whether consolidation should be an option with another unit of government
• Create a report with recommendations covering efficiencies, accountability, and consolidation explanations.
R. Zeine stated for the trustees and others to think about this since we will need to form this committee.
