Illinois Compiled Statutes
Information maintained by the Legislative Reference Bureau 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. 11-22-1. The corporate authorities of each municipality may erect,
establish, and maintain hospitals, nursing homes and
medical dispensaries, all on a nonprofit basis, and
may locate and regulate hospitals, medical dispensaries, sanitariums, and
undertaking establishments; provided that the corporate authorities of any
municipality shall not regulate any pharmacy or drugstore registered under
the Pharmacy Practice Act. Any hospital maintained under this

other arrangement not prohibited by a hospital licensed under the Hospital
Licensing Act, incorporated under the General Not-For-Profit Corporation
Act, and exempt from taxation under paragraph (3) of subsection (c) of
Section 501 of the Internal Revenue Code.
For purposes of erecting, establishing and maintaining a nursing home
on a nonprofit basis pursuant to this Section, the corporate authorities of
each municipality shall have the power to borrow money; execute a
promissory note or notes, execute a mortgage or trust deed to secure
payment of such notes or deeds, or execute such other security instrument
or document as needed, and pledge real and personal nursing home property
as security for any such promissory note, mortgage or trust deed; and issue

65 ILCS 5/11-22-2
(65 ILCS 5/11-22-2) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-22-2)
Sec. 11-22-2.
In the event any municipality has established a public
hospital in accordance with the provisions of this Division 22 and in the
further event the corporate authorities shall determine that the hospital
is no longer needed for the purposes for which it was established, or that
those purposes would be better served through the operation of the hospital by
a corporation, hospital, health care facility, unit of local government or
institution of higher education, the corporate authorities may by ordinance
authorize
the transfer, sale or lease of the hospital to such corporation, hospital,
health care facility, unit of local government or institution of higher
education within or without the corporate limits of the municipality, or
may authorize the sale or lease of the hospital to any mental health clinic
which obtains any portion of its funds from the Department of Human
Services (as successor to the Department of Mental Health and Developmental
Disabilities). Such transfer, sale or lease may be on such
terms and under such conditions as the corporate authorities may deem
proper without regard to any provisions of Division 9 or 10 of Article 8 or
Divisions 75, 76, 77 and 78 of this Article 11. At least 10 days prior to
the adoption of an ordinance under this Section, the corporate authorities
shall make the proposed ordinance 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 municipality, or if there is none published in the municipality, in
a newspaper having general circulation in the municipality, 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 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.
