(55 ILCS 5/5-1040) (from Ch. 34, par. 5-1040)
Sec. 5-1040.
Transfer, sale or lease of hospital.
With regard
to any hospital operated by a county, a county board may transfer,
sell or lease such hospital, pursuant to an ordinance or resolution, to a
responsible corporation, hospital, health care facility, unit of local
government or institution of higher education on such terms and under such
conditions as the county board deems appropriate. At least 10 days prior
to the adoption of an ordinance or resolution under this Section, the
county board shall make the proposed ordinance or resolution conveniently
available for public inspection and shall hold at least one public hearing
thereon. Notice of this hearing shall be published in one or more
newspapers published in the county, or if there is none published in the
county, in a newspaper having general circulation in the county, at least
10 days prior to the time of the public hearing. Such notice shall state
the time and place of the hearing and the place where copies of the proposed
ordinance or resolution will be accessible for examination.
In the event that prior to the sale or lease of the hospital pursuant
to this Section, a labor organization has been recognized by the hospital
as the exclusive representative of the majority of employees in a
bargaining unit for purposes of collective bargaining, and in the further
event that a purchaser or lessor subject to the National Labor Relations
Act retains or hires a majority of the employees in such a bargaining unit,
such purchaser or lessor shall recognize the labor organization as the
exclusive representative of the majority of employees in that bargaining
unit for purposes of collective bargaining, provided that the labor
organization makes a timely written assertion of its representational
capacity to the purchaser or lessor.
