LOCAL GOVERNMENT-TECH

HB 3835 clarifies terminology in Illinois law to ensure consistency when referring to non-incorporated townships. It updates the Township Code to specify that references to "town" (other than incorporated towns), "board of trustees," or "town officers" in other laws should instead be interpreted as references to "township," "township board," or "township officers." This technical change directly affects township governments and officials by standardizing how they are identified in state legislation. The bill does not create new policies or alter governance structures, only improving clarity in existing legal references.
