HB3642 amends Illinois law to clarify the ineligibility of individuals convicted of certain crimes from holding public office.

HB3642 amends the Illinois Municipal Code and the Unified Code of Corrections to specify that individuals convicted of a felony, bribery, perjury, or other infamous crime are ineligible to hold any local public office unless their conviction is reversed or their eligibility to hold office is restored. This applies to both elected and appointed positions. The bill also removes provisions that previously disqualified individuals from taking the oath of office for municipal positions based on certain criminal convictions.
