MODERATE

This bill updates the Township Code to clarify meeting procedures, add a new provision allowing small-town supervisors to serve on school boards, and amend the Park District Code to expand joint recreational programs for people with disabilities. The changes aim to improve transparency in township meetings, increase local governance flexibility for smaller communities, and enhance accessibility to recreation services.

Scope change

The bill expands the scope of joint recreational programs for persons with disabilities to include agreements between park districts and other local government units in counties with 300,000 or fewer residents, and adds eligibility for township supervisors in small towns to serve simultaneously on school boards.

ELIGIBILITY

Allows township supervisors or trustees in towns with fewer than 2,500 residents to simultaneously serve on a school board if they meet other qualifications.

REQUIREMENT

Updates notice requirements for township board meetings to include posting notices on official township websites if a website is maintained by full-time staff.

Clarifies that township board meeting agendas must be adopted at least 15 days before the annual meeting and must include specific requests from registered voters.

Amends the Park District Code to authorize joint recreational programs for persons with disabilities between park districts and other local governments in counties with populations of 300,000 or less.
