Illinois HB3333 restricts municipalities from hiring outside legal counsel if they already employ a municipal officer for legal representation.
Illinois HB3333 amends the Illinois Municipal Code to prohibit municipalities from employing outside legal counsel if they already have a municipal officer, such as a city attorney, providing legal services. This restriction aims to ensure efficient use of municipal resources by preventing redundant legal representation. However, it allows for exceptions if the municipal authorities believe in good faith that a conflict of interest exists with the existing municipal officer.
