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.

Sec. 3.225. Trauma Center Fund.
(a) The Department shall distribute 97.5% of 50% of
the moneys deposited into the Trauma Center Fund, a special
fund in the State Treasury, to Illinois hospitals that are
designated as trauma centers. The payments to those
hospitals shall be in addition to any other payments paid
and shall be in an amount calculated under paragraph (b) of
this Section.
(b) Trauma payment calculation.
(1) The Department shall implement an accounting |
| system to ensure that the moneys in the fund are distributed.
|
|
(2) The moneys in the fund shall be allocated
|
| proportionately to each EMS region so that the EMS region receives the moneys collected from within its region for violations of laws or ordinances regulating the movement of traffic. Under no circumstance shall money collected within one EMS region be redirected to another EMS region.
|
|
(3) The formula for distribution to individual
|
| hospitals shall be based on factors identified in rules adopted by the Department pursuant to this Act. No moneys may be distributed to a trauma center located outside of the State.
|
|
(4) If money collected from an EMS region cannot be
|
| distributed to any trauma center in that EMS region because the trauma center is located outside of the State, then the Department shall distribute the money to hospitals in the EMS region for the provision of emergency services.
|
|
(c) The Department may retain 2.5% of 50% of the
moneys in the Trauma Center Fund to defray the cost of
administering the distributions.
