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.

(55 ILCS 5/5-23010) (from Ch. 34, par. 5-23010)

Sec. 5-23010.

Organization of board; powers.

Said
directors shall, immediately after appointment, meet and
organize, by the election of one of their number as president and one as
secretary, and by the election of such other officers as they may deem
necessary. They shall make and adopt such by-laws, rules, and regulations,
for their own guidance and for the government of the sanitarium and the
branches, dispensaries, and auxiliary institutions and activities connected
therewith, as may be expedient, not inconsistent with this Division. They shall
have the exclusive control of the expenditure of all moneys collected to
the credit of the tuberculosis sanitarium fund, and of the construction of
any sanitarium building, or other buildings necessary for its branches,
dispensaries, or other auxiliary institutions or activities in connection
with said institution, and of the supervision, care and custody of the
grounds, rooms or buildings constructed, leased, or set apart for that
purpose: Provided, that all moneys received for such sanitarium with the
exception of moneys the title to which rests in the board of directors in
accordance with Section 5-23017, shall be deposited in the
treasury of said county to the credit of the tuberculosis sanitarium fund,
and shall not be used for any other purpose, and shall be drawn upon by the
proper officers of said county upon the properly authenticated vouchers of
said board of directors. Said board of directors shall have the power to
purchase or lease ground within the limits of such county, and to occupy,
lease or erect an appropriate building or buildings for the use of said
sanitarium, branches, dispensaries and other auxiliary institutions and
activities connected therewith, by and with the approval of the county
board: Provided, however, that no such building shall be constructed until
detailed plans therefor shall have been submitted to the secretary of the
State Board of Health, and shall have been approved by him: And, provided,
further, that no building in which tuberculosis patients are to be housed
shall be built on the grounds of a county poor farm, but shall have
separate and distinct grounds of its own. Said board of directors shall
have the power to appoint suitable superintendents or matrons, or both, and
all necessary assistants, and to fix their compensation, and shall also
have the power to remove such appointees, and shall in general carry out
the spirit and intent of this Division in establishing and
maintaining a county
tuberculosis sanitarium: Provided: that no sanitarium or branch, or
dispensary, or auxiliary institution, or activity, under this Division,
for tuberculosis patients shall be under the same management as a
county poor farm, or infirmary, but shall, on the contrary, be under a
management separate and distinct in every particular. One or more of said
directors shall visit and examine said sanitarium, and all branches,
dispensaries, auxiliary institutions, and activities at least twice in each
month, and shall make monthly reports of the condition thereof to the
county board.
