A proposed revision to §110.45 circulated by committee member Joe Witte clarifies the Chairperson's relationship to the Liquor Control Commissioner and the Commission and references the Illinois State Liquor Control Act (ILCS Ch. 255, Act 5). The committee asked the State's Attorney to draft a resolution for board consideration.
Committee member Joe Witte circulated a proposed revision to §110.45 via email that clarifies whether the Chairperson of the County Board serves as the Liquor Control Commissioner and how the Liquor Control Commission is appointed and convened. The draft language references the Illinois State Liquor Control Act (ILCS Ch. 255, Act 5) and includes provisions on appointment, quorum and tie votes.
The committee reviewed the email and agreed to ask the State's Attorney to draft a resolution implementing the proposed changes and forward it to the full County Board. The email's opening line reads, "The Chairperson of the County Board shall be the Liquor Control Commissioner," language the committee discussed as part of how the county's code aligns with state law.
