| Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| 3 |
| represented in the General Assembly:
| 4 |
| Section 5. The County Shelter Care and Detention Home Act | 5 |
| is amended by changing Sections 1, 3, and 9.1 and by adding | 6 |
| Sections 9.2 and 9.3 as follows:
| 7 |
| (55 ILCS 75/1) (from Ch. 23, par. 2681)
| 8 |
| Sec. 1. Establishment and maintenance of homes.
| 9 |
| (a) The board of county commissioners or the county board | 10 |
| in any
county in this State, may locate, purchase, erect, | 11 |
| lease, or otherwise
provide and establish, support and maintain | 12 |
| a detention home for the care
and custody of delinquent minors | 13 |
| and a shelter care home for the temporary
care of minors who | 14 |
| are delinquent, dependent, neglected, addicted, abused
or | 15 |
| require authoritative intervention. They may levy and collect a | 16 |
| tax to
pay the cost of its establishment and maintenance in | 17 |
| accordance with the
terms and provisions of this Act. In | 18 |
| counties with 300,000 or less
inhabitants, the powers | 19 |
| enumerated in this Act shall not be exercised
unless this Act | 20 |
| is adopted by the legal voters of the county as provided in
| 21 |
| this Act. In counties with over 300,000 but less than 1,000,000 | 22 |
| inhabitants

|
| 1 |
| this Act by the legal voters and
without referendum. | 2 |
| (b) In any county, if the board of county commissioners or
| 3 |
| the county board, as the case may be, determines that a shelter | 4 |
| care or
detention home presently in use is obsolete, it may | 5 |
| continue to operate the
shelter care or detention home on a | 6 |
| temporary basis and, by majority vote
of that board, may | 7 |
| rebuild or replace the home at its present location or
another. | 8 |
| (c) No county shall be required to discontinue the use of | 9 |
| any shelter
care or detention home in existence or in use on | 10 |
| the effective date of this
amendatory Act of 1975 because of | 11 |
| the fact that the proposition to
establish and maintain the | 12 |
| shelter care or detention home has not been
submitted to the | 13 |
| voters as provided in this Act.
| 14 |
| This amendatory Act of 1975 is not a limit on any county | 15 |
| which is a
home rule unit.
| 16 |
| (d) Cook County is not required to discontinue the use of | 17 |
| the Cook County Juvenile Temporary Detention Center or of any | 18 |
| other shelter care home or detention home in existence or in | 19 |
| use on the effective date of this amendatory act of the 95th | 20 |
| General Assembly because of the fact that the proposition to | 21 |
| establish and maintain it was not submitted to the voters as | 22 |
| provided in this Act.
