The Illinois Oath and Bond of Representative is a document that must be completed by all representatives of the state of Illinois. It is a legal document that outlines the rights and responsibilities of the representative to the state and its people. The document is signed by the representative and witnessed by a public official. It is a solemn promise to uphold the laws of the state and to faithfully serve its citizens. There are two types of Illinois Oath and Bond of Representative: the oath of office and the bond of office. The oath of office is a written declaration that the representative will faithfully execute the duties of their office and will obey the laws of the state. The bond of office is a financial agreement between the representative and the state whereby the representative agrees to pay a penalty if they fail to fulfill their duties. This bond is held in trust by the state and can be used to recoup losses from any breach of duty on the part of the representative.
