Carbon Cliff moves March meeting to avoid Illinois election day under SB202
Summary
The board listed a motion to reschedule its March 17, 2026 meeting to March 18 after changes in Illinois law (SB202) prohibit local governments from holding meetings on election days; the change was noted on the Jan. 20 agenda.
The Village of Carbon Cliff flagged a motion on Jan. 20 to reschedule its March board meeting from Tuesday, March 17, 2026 to Wednesday, March 18, 2026. The agenda cites SB202, an amendment to the Illinois Open Meetings Act that prevents local units of government from holding or scheduling meetings on the day of a primary or general election.
The agenda language explains the restriction applies to both home-rule and non-home-rule communities; the minutes show the rescheduling proposal was placed on the agenda but do not record a final vote during the Jan. 20 session.
