(20 ILCS 1705/34) (from Ch. 91 1/2, par. 100-34)
Sec. 34.
To make grants-in-aid to community clinics and agencies for
psychiatric or clinical services, training, research and other mental
health, intellectual disabilities and other developmental disabilities programs,
for persons of all ages including those aged 3 to 21.
In addition to other standards and procedures governing the disbursement of
grants-in-aid implemented under this Section, the Secretary
shall require that each application for such aid submitted by public agencies
or public clinics with respect to services to be provided by a municipality
with a population of 500,000 or more shall include review
and comment by a community mental health board that is organized under
local authority and broadly representative of the geographic, social,
cultural, and economic interests of the area to be served, and which
includes persons who are professionals in the field of mental health,
consumers of services or representative of the general public. Within
planning and service areas designated by the Secretary where
more than one clinic or agency applies under this paragraph, each application
shall be
reviewed by a single community mental health board that is representative
of the areas to be served by each clinic or agency.
The Secretary may authorize advance disbursements to any
clinic or agency that has been awarded a grant-in-aid, provided that the
Secretary shall, within 30 days before the making of such
disbursement, certify to the Comptroller that (a) the provider is
eligible to receive that disbursement, and (b) the disbursement is made
as compensation for services to be rendered within 60 days of that
certification.
