from Ch. 24, par. 3.1-20-22

Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Elected City Officers Division of the Municipal Code. Requires every municipality to stagger the terms of its alderpersons (rather than allowing municipalities to adopt a proposition to stagger the terms of its alderpersons). Provides that, if a municipality has not adopted a proposition to stagger the terms of alderpersons before the effective date of the amendatory Act, then at the next regular election for alderpersons one alderperson shall be elected from each even-numbered ward for a term of 2 years and one alderperson shall be elected from each odd-numbered ward for a term of 4 years and their successors shall be elected for terms of 4 years. Provides that the City of Chicago and the City of Chicago Heights are not required to stagger the elections of their alderpersons.
