A.
In counties
with more than 100,000 inhabitants, no person may serve on the Board
of Review who has not passed an examination prepared and administered
by the Department to determine his or her competence to hold the office.
The County Board may, by resolution, impose a like requirement.

Said examination
shall be conducted by the Illinois Department of Revenue, or such
agency as authorized by the General Assembly to administer tests to
measure the qualification of the individuals to serve on a local board
of review, at some convenient location in this County.
C.
If, following
the effective date of the appointment of Board of Review members according
to law, but before said Board of Review conducts any official business,
it appears that any one or all of the appointed members of the Board
of Review did not pass the aforesaid examination, the County Board
may, by resolution, expressly waive and rescind the aforesaid examination
requirement as a qualification to serve on the Board of Review.[1]
