110 ILCS 330/ University of Illinois Hospital Act.

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.

Doctors of Medicine, the Doctors of Dentistry, or other health
care
professionals who are members of the University
faculty,
charges for such professional services shall not be established or
collected by the University or the University of Illinois Hospital but may
be by said members of said faculty who render such services under a
plan or plans organized and administered by them. All such charges shall be
deposited in a special fund or funds in the treasury of the University. The
billing, collecting and disbursing of any such fund shall remain
exclusively under the supervision and control of such faculty under a
plan or plans established by them for the general benefit and support of

adjunct
University faculty who are licensed dentists or physicians licensed to
practice medicine in all its branches
members)
or in connection with a
University
health care program. Nothing herein shall prevent the University from approving
a plan under which any such fund in the University treasury may be utilized
in paying the University salaries of such faculty members, or from assisting
in the billing and collection of professional charges if all University
costs in connection therewith are paid from the charges so collected.
