65 ILCS 5/ Illinois Municipal Code.

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 5/11-17-1) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-17-1)

Sec. 11-17-1.

When authorized in the manner provided by Section 11-17-2 the
corporate authorities of each municipality with a population of more
than 100,000 and less than 200,000 shall establish and maintain a public
health board for the use and benefit of the inhabitants of the
municipality and shall levy annually a tax of not to exceed .075% of the
value, as equalized or assessed by the Department of Revenue, on all taxable
property in the municipality. In those
municipalities in which a public health board has been established under
this Division 17 before July 24, 1967, the corporate authorities shall
levy annually a tax not exceeding .075% of the value, as equalized or
assessed by the Department of Revenue, on all taxable
property in the municipality. The tax levied under this Section shall be
levied and collected in like manner as are the general taxes of the
collecting municipality, and the money so collected shall be known as
the public health board fund. The tax shall be in addition to all other
taxes which the municipality is now, or may be hereafter, authorized to
levy upon the property within the municipality, and shall be in addition
to the amount authorized to be levied for general purposes as provided
in Section 8-3-1.

If the municipality is situated within any county or multiple-county
health department for whose benefit a tax is levied under "An Act in
relation to the establishment and maintenance of county and
multiple-county public health departments", approved July 9, 1943, as
now or hereafter amended, the county clerk shall reduce and abate from
the tax levied by the authority of this Division 17 a rate which would
produce an amount equal to the amount of the tax accruing to the
municipality under the above-named Act.
