Illinois Statutes Chapter 705. Courts § 35/2f-14. 6th judicial circuit; resident judgeships

(a) The at-large judgeships of the 6th judicial circuit existing on January 7, 2022 shall be converted to resident judgeships as provided in this subsection as those judgeships are or become vacant. The first 3 that become vacant after January 7, 2022 (the effective date of Public Act 102-693) shall be converted to resident judgeships elected from Champaign County. The remaining two at-large judgeships that become vacant shall be converted to resident judgeships elected from Macon County. Thereafter, persons elected to those resident judgeships shall be residents of the county which elects them.

(b) It is the intent of the General Assembly not to create any additional judgeships in the 6th judicial circuit by Public Act 102-693 and this amendatory Act of the 102nd General Assembly. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, the conversion of at-large judgeships to resident judgeships under subsection (a) of this Section shall not entitle the 6th judicial circuit to any additional circuit judgeships elected at-large.
