Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

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.

Sec. 55.6a. Emergency Public Health Fund.

(a) Moneys in the Emergency Public
Health Fund, subject to appropriation, shall be allocated annually as follows:
(i) $300,000
 to the University of Illinois for the purposes described in
Section 55.6(c)(6) and (ii) subject to subsection (b) of this Section, all
remaining amounts to the Department of Public
Health to be used to make vector control grants and surveillance grants
to the Cook County Department of Public Health (for areas of the County
excluding the City of Chicago), to the City of Chicago health department, and
to other certified local health departments.  These grants shall be used for
expenses
related to West Nile Virus and other vector-borne diseases.  The amount of
each grant shall be based on population and need as supported by information
submitted to the Department of Public Health.  For the purposes of this
Section, need shall be determined by the Department based primarily upon
surveillance data and the number of positive human cases of West Nile Virus and
other vector-borne
diseases occurring during the preceding year and current year in the county or
municipality seeking the grant.

(b) (Blank).
