Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process.
Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as
Public
Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the
Guide.
Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes,
statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect.
If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has
not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already
been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes
made to the current law.
(55 ILCS 5/5-25010) (from Ch. 34, par. 5-25010)
Sec. 5-25010. Annual tax levy. The county board of any county which
has established and is maintaining a county or multiple-county health
department shall, when authorized as provided in Sections 5-25003 or
5-25004, levy annually therefor, in excess of the statutory limit, a tax of
not to exceed .1% of the value plus the additional tax, if applicable,
provided for in Section 5-23002, as equalized or assessed by the Department of Revenue, of
all taxable property of the county, which tax shall be levied and collected in
like manner as general county taxes and shall be paid (except as provided in
Section 5-25011) into the county treasury and held in the County Health Fund
and shall be used only for the purposes of this Division.
Where there is a county health department, the County Health Fund
shall be drawn upon by the proper officers of the county upon the
properly authenticated vouchers of the county health department. Where
there is a multiple-county health department, the County Health Fund
shall be drawn upon by the treasurer of the board of health of the
multiple-county health department. In counties maintaining single county
health departments, each county board shall appropriate from the County
Health Fund such sums of money as may be sufficient to fund the approved
budget of the county health department, so long as those sums have been set out
in the annual budget submitted to the county board by the county board
of health and that annual budget has been approved by the county board.
In counties with a population between 700,000 and 3,000,000, the county board
chairman has the power to veto or reduce any line item in the appropriation
ordinance for the county or multiple-county health
department as provided in Section 5-1014.5.
Each county board of counties participating in the maintenance of a
multiple-county health department shall appropriate from the County
Health Fund and shall authorize the county treasurer to release
quarterly or more often to the treasurer of the board of health of the
multiple-county health department such sums of money as are in
accordance with the budget submitted by the multiple-county board of
health and approved by the county board of each of the participating
counties as may be necessary to pay its agreed share for the maintenance
of the multiple-county health department. The treasurer of the board of
health of the multiple-county health department shall request by
voucher, quarterly or more often such sums of money from the county
treasurers of the respective member counties, and shall support such
requests with estimates of anticipated receipts and expenditures for the
period for which sums of money are requested and with statements of
receipts and expenditures for the preceding period. In addition, that
treasurer shall support the requests to the annual budget submitted by
the multiple-county public health board and approved by the county board
of each of the participating counties. No payment may be made from a
County Health Fund except on the basis of a budget item in a budget
submitted by the appropriate public health board and approved by the
county board or boards concerned; however, amended or supplemental
budgets may be submitted and approved and thereby be the basis for such
a payment.
