Illinois Statutes Chapter 70. Special Districts § 2605/4.23. Soliciting political contributions from a commissioner or an employee

(a) No person shall solicit, orally or by letter, or be in any manner concerned in soliciting any assessment, contribution, or payment for any party or any political purpose whatever from any commissioner or employee during the commissioner's or employee's compensated time other than vacation, personal, holiday, or compensatory time off.

(b) For the purposes of this Section, “compensated time” means any time worked by or credited to an employee that counts toward any minimum work time requirement imposed as a condition of employment with the sanitary district, but does not include any designated holidays or any period when the employee is on a leave of absence. With respect to commissioners, “compensated time” means any period of time when the commissioner is on the premises under the control of the sanitary district and any other time when the commissioner is executing his or her official duties, regardless of location.

For the purposes of this Section, “compensatory time off” means authorized time off earned by or awarded to an employee to compensate in whole or in part for time worked in excess of the minimum work time required of that employee as a condition of employment with the sanitary district.
