    (70 ILCS 2905/3-4)  (from Ch. 42, par. 503-4)



    Sec. 3-4. 
(a) Commissioners shall be paid the same 
salaries as the county board members
from either St. Clair or 
Madison County whichever is lower.

    (b) The board of commissioners may, by ordinance, arrange 
to provide employees and commissioners of the sanitary 
district group, life, health, accident, hospital, and medical 
insurance, or any one or any combination of such types of 
insurance. The insurance may include provision for employees 
and commissioners who rely on treatment by prayer or spiritual 
means alone for healing in accordance with the tenets and 
practice of a well-recognized religious denomination. The 
board of commissioners may provide for payment by the sanitary 
district of the premium or charge for the insurance. 
    If the sanitary district does not pay for the premium or 
charge for  group life, health, accident, hospital, or medical 
insurance, the board of commissioners may allow withholding 
and deducting from the compensation of the employees and 
commissioners of the premium or charge for the group life, 
health, accident, hospital, or medical insurance. 
    Insurance obtained under this subsection must be obtained 
from an insurance company authorized to do business in the 
State of Illinois or any other organization or service 
offering similar coverage authorized to do business in the 
State of Illinois.
