The text describes House Bill 287 establishing a public defender in Illinois counties with over 35 000 residents. It outlines appointment by circuit judges, attorney licensing, and mandatory duty to defend indigent defendants without fee. It also notes duties on appeals in cases of conviction.
The text outlines mandatory law but allows County Boards to forgo the office, setting minimum salaries and ranges by county population. Champaign County’s stance is cited, with proposed scales from 100 to 8000 per year depending on inhabitants, and limits that do not exceed the State's Attorney's pay. It also covers possible assistants, clerks, and annual expense allotments, plus monthly service reports to the County Board and Circuit Court.
