(a) Every park district that maintains an Internet website shall, within 90 days of the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 98th General Assembly, post to its website for the current calendar year a detailed list of the total compensation paid to each employee including wages, salary, overtime, and benefits, including health, dental, life, and pension, and whether that employee is an elected official. (b) A park district that does not maintain an Internet website shall, within 90 days of the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 98th General Assembly, post in its main office for the current calendar year a detailed list of the total compensation paid to each employee including wages, salary, overtime, and benefits, including health, dental, life, and pension, and whether that employee is an elected official. (c) The information required to be posted on a website under this Section must be easily accessible from the park district's home page and searchable. The information required to be posted in the park district's main office under this Section must be easily accessible to the public. (d) The postings required by this Section are in addition to any other posting requirements required by law or ordinance. (e) No home rule unit may adopt posting requirements that are less restrictive than this Section. This Section is a limitation under subsection (i) of Section 6 of Article VII of the Illinois Constitution on the concurrent exercise by home rule units of powers and functions exercised by the State.

    This addition establishes new requirements for how park districts must publicly disclose employee compensation.
