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.

(a) A municipality may not exercise any of its powers to enact ordinances within an urban agricultural area in a manner that would unreasonably restrict or regulate farming practices in contravention of the purposes of this Act unless the restrictions or regulations bear a direct relationship to public health or safety.

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.

When it has been decided to establish and maintain a public
health board under this Division 17, the mayor or president, with the

directors, 2 of whom are duly licensed to practice medicine and surgery in

Sec. 11-17-4.
Immediately after their appointment, the directors shall meet
and organize by electing one of their number as president and one as
secretary and by electing such other officers as they may deem necessary.
They shall adopt such by-laws, rules, and regulations for their own
guidance and for the government of the public health board as may be
expedient and not inconsistent with this Division 17 or with the ordinances
of the municipality. They have the exclusive control of the expenditure of
all money collected to the credit of the public health board fund. All
money received for the public health board shall be deposited in the
municipal treasury to the credit of the public health board fund and shall
not be used for any other purpose. The money shall be drawn upon by the
proper municipal officer upon the properly authenticated vouchers of the
board of directors.
The board has the power to appoint suitable assistants and other
employees and fix their compensation, and to remove such appointees. The
board, in general, shall carry out the spirit and intent of this Division
17 in establishing and maintaining a public health board. In a city which
has adopted or hereafter adopts Division 1 of Article 10, all
appointments and all removals of assistants or other employees shall be
made pursuant to the provisions of that Division 1 of Article 10 and not
otherwise, except that persons may be employed temporarily until persons
ranked upon the register under Division 1 of Article 10 for positions or
offices which are held under Division 1 of Article 10 are available for
service. Persons so appointed for temporary service shall hold their
positions as temporary appointees under Division 1 of Article 10.
Each officer and employee of the public health board is an officer or
employee, as the case may be, of the municipality in which the public
health board is established.
