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.

65 ILCS 5/11-23-1
(65 ILCS 5/11-23-1) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-23-1)
Sec. 11-23-1.
Whenever at least 100 electors of a city with a population of less
than 100,000 present a petition to the city clerk of the city asking
that an annual tax, not to exceed .06% of the value, as equalized or
assessed by the Department of Revenue, be levied each
year on all taxable property of the city for the establishment and
maintenance of a public hospital, or for the purchase and maintenance of
an existing nonsectarian public hospital, within the city, the city clerk
shall certify the proposition for submission at an election in accordance
with the general
election law. The proposition shall be in substantially the following form: "Shall a
....% tax, for establishing and maintaining (or for purchasing and
maintaining) a public hospital be levied against the taxable property of
the city of ....?" and shall specify the rate
of taxation mentioned in the petition. If a majority of all votes cast
on the proposition are in favor of the proposition, the tax specified in
the notice shall be levied and collected annually in the same manner as
are other general taxes in the city, and shall be known as the hospital
fund. However, municipalities authorized to levy this tax on July 1,
1967, shall have a rate limit of .06%, or the limit in effect on July 1,
1967, whichever is greater. Thereafter, the city council shall include
an appropriation in the annual appropriation ordinance of such sums of
money as may be necessary to defray all necessary expenses and
liabilities of the hospital. This annual hospital tax shall be in
addition to the amount authorized to be levied for general purposes
under Section 8-3-1 and shall be exclusive thereof and not included
within any limitation of rate or amount for other municipal purposes.
The foregoing limitations upon tax rates may be increased or
decreased under the referendum provisions of the General Revenue Law of
Illinois.

65 ILCS 5/11-23-2
(65 ILCS 5/11-23-2) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-23-2)
Sec. 11-23-2.
In case an annual hospital tax has been levied and
collected under this Division 23 for 3 or more consecutive years, and
the city has not established or maintained, or purchased and maintained,
a hospital in accordance with this Division 23, the mayor of the city,
with the approval of the city council, may authorize the payment of all
funds in the city treasury derived from that tax, to any nonsectarian
public hospital within or without the corporate limits of the city
maintained for the use and benefit of the inhabitants of the city who
are sick or are injured or maimed. These funds, when so turned over to
such a hospital, shall be used solely for its maintenance under the sole
control of the management of the hospital. Thereafter, funds derived
from this annual hospital tax shall be turned over to that hospital as
soon as received by the city, until the city council shall provide
otherwise by an ordinance approved by a majority of the electors voting
thereon at any election. The city council may order
such ordinance certified by the clerk and submitted by the proper election
authority to the voters at any election in accordance with the general election law.
The management of such a hospital shall submit to the city council a
semi-annual report of the expenditure of such funds as have been
received from the city from the hospital tax.

65 ILCS 5/11-23-3
(65 ILCS 5/11-23-3) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-23-3)
Sec. 11-23-3.
In the event any municipality has
established a city public
hospital in accordance with the provisions of Section 11-23-1 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 city
hospital by a corporation, hospital, health care
facility, unit of local government or institution of higher education, the
corporate authorities by ordinance may 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 city, 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 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.
If a city public hospital is transferred, sold or leased as authorized
by this section and if no bonds issued under the provisions of Section
11-23-6 or Section 11-23-13 are outstanding, the city council may transfer
any excess funds remaining in the Hospital Fund to the general fund of the
city to be expended for capital expenditures only and not for operating
expenses of the city.
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.
