reimbursement for medical expenses. The Warden of the jail
shall furnish necessary bedding, clothing, fuel, and medical
services for all committed persons prisoners under his charge,
and keep an accurate account of the same. When services that
result in qualified medical expenses are required by any
person held in custody, the county, private hospital,
physician or any public agency which provides such services
shall be entitled to obtain reimbursement from the county for
the cost of such services. The county board of a county may
adopt an ordinance or resolution providing for reimbursement
for the cost of those services at the Department of Healthcare
and Family Services' rates for medical assistance. To the
extent that such person is reasonably able to pay for such
care, including reimbursement from any insurance program or
from other medical benefit programs available to such person,
he or she shall reimburse the county or arresting authority.
If such person has already been determined eligible for
medical assistance under the Illinois Public Aid Code at the
time the person is detained, the cost of such services, to the
extent such cost exceeds $500, shall be reimbursed by the
Department of Healthcare and Family Services under that Code.
A reimbursement under any public or private program authorized
by this Section shall be paid to the county or arresting
authority to the same extent as would have been obtained had
the services been rendered in a non-custodial environment.
    The sheriff or his or her designee may cause an
application for medical assistance under the Illinois Public
Aid Code to be completed for an arrestee who is a hospital
inpatient. If such arrestee is determined eligible, he or she
shall receive medical assistance under the Code for hospital
inpatient services only. An arresting authority shall be
responsible for any qualified medical expenses relating to the
arrestee until such time as the arrestee is placed in the
custody of the sheriff. However, the arresting authority shall
not be so responsible if the arrest was made pursuant to a
request by the sheriff. When medical expenses are required by
any person held in custody, the county shall be entitled to
obtain reimbursement from the County Jail Medical Costs Fund
to the extent moneys are available from the Fund. To the extent
that the person is reasonably able to pay for that care,
including reimbursement from any insurance program or from
other medical benefit programs available to the person, he or
she shall reimburse the county.
    For the purposes of this Section, "arresting authority"
means a unit of local government, other than a county, which
employs peace officers and whose peace officers have made the
arrest of a person. For the purposes of this Section,
"qualified medical expenses" include medical and hospital
services but do not include (i) expenses incurred for medical
care or treatment provided to a person on account of a
self-inflicted injury incurred prior to or in the course of an
arrest, (ii) expenses incurred for medical care or treatment
provided to a person on account of a health condition of that
person which existed prior to the time of his or her arrest, or
(iii) expenses for hospital inpatient services for arrestees
enrolled for medical assistance under the Illinois Public Aid
Code.

for infection with HIV or any other identified causative agent
of AIDS, as well as counseling in connection with such
testing. The Cook County Health & Hospitals System may provide
the inmate with opt-out human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
testing, as defined in Section 4 of the AIDS Confidentiality
Act, unless the inmate refuses. If opt-out HIV testing is
conducted, the Cook County Health & Hospitals System shall

    Sec. 19.5. Release of committed persons prisoners to law
enforcement personnel or State's Attorney. The sheriff may
adopt and implement a written policy that provides for the
release of a person who is in the custody of the sheriff for
any criminal or supposed criminal matter to sworn law
enforcement personnel or to the State's Attorney for the
purpose of furthering investigations into criminal matters
that are unrelated to the criminal matter for which the person
is held in custody. The written policy must, at a minimum,
require that there be a written request, signed by an
authorized agent of the law enforcement agency or State's
Attorney office, to take custody of the committed person
prisoner and that the written request shall include the name
of the individual authorized to take custody of the committed
person prisoner, the purpose and scope of the criminal matter
under investigation, and a statement of the fact that the
individual taking custody and agency they are employed by
understand the limitation of the sheriff's liability as
described in this Act. Upon the release of a person to law
enforcement personnel or the State's Attorney under written
policy of the sheriff, the sheriff shall not be liable for any
injury of any kind, including but not limited to death, to
either the person released or to any third party that occurs
during the time period that the person is in custody of other
law enforcement personnel or the State's Attorney unless the
sheriff or a deputy sheriff, correctional guard, lockup
keeper, or county employee is guilty of willful and wanton
conduct that proximately caused the injury.

    (730 ILCS 125/20)  (from Ch. 75, par. 120)
    Sec. 20. Cost and expense; commissary fund.
    (a) The cost and expense of keeping, maintaining and
furnishing the jail of each county, and of keeping and
maintaining the committed person prisoner thereof, except as
otherwise provided by law, shall be paid from the county
treasury, the account therefor being first settled and allowed
by the county board.
    The county board may require convicted persons confined in
its jail to reimburse the county for the expenses incurred by
their incarceration to the extent of their ability to pay for
such expenses. The warden of the jail shall establish by
regulation criteria for a reasonable deduction from money
credited to any account of an inmate to defray the costs to the
county for an inmate's medical care. The State's Attorney of
the county in which such jail is located may, if requested by
the County Board, institute civil actions in the circuit court
of the county in which the jail is located to recover from such
convicted confined persons the expenses incurred by their
confinement. The funds recovered shall be paid into the county
treasury.
    (a-5) Upon notification from the Clerk of the Circuit
Court of an outstanding fine, restitution, or costs imposed by
the court on a jail inmate, the warden of the jail may, at any
time prior to release of the inmate, deduct from money
credited to any account of the inmate an amount to pay or
reduce the outstanding balance. The warden of the jail shall
establish by regulation criteria for deduction from money
credited to any account of an inmate to pay or reduce the
amount outstanding on a fine, restitution, or costs imposed by
the court on the inmate. The regulation shall comply with any
withholding restrictions otherwise provided by law. The inmate
shall be provided with written notice of the amount of any
deduction. There shall also be prominent notice by signage at
any location where the warden of the jail or jail employees
receive funds for deposit into an inmate's account, that funds
in an inmate's account may be used to pay fines, restitution,
or costs imposed on the inmate by a court. Any person providing
funds for an inmate's account shall be notified in writing
when the funds are provided, that funds in an inmate's account
may be used to pay fines, restitution, or costs imposed on the
inmate by a court.
    (b) When a committed person prisoner is released from the
county jail after the completion of his or her sentence and has
money credited to his or her account in the commissary fund,
the sheriff or a person acting on the authority of the sheriff
must mail a check in the amount credited to the committed
person's prisoner's account to the committed person's
prisoner's last known address. If after 30 days from the date
of mailing of the check, the check is returned undelivered,
the sheriff must transmit the amount of the check to the county
treasurer for deposit into the commissary fund. Nothing in
this subsection (b) constitutes a forfeiture of the committed
person's prisoner's right to claim the money accredited to his
or her account after the 30-day period.
(Source: P.A. 96-432, eff. 8-13-09.)
 
    (730 ILCS 125/21)  (from Ch. 75, par. 121)
    Sec. 21. Whenever a committed person prisoner is committed
to the jail of one county for a criminal offense committed or
charged to have been committed in another, or is transferred
to another county for safekeeping or trial, the county in
which the crime was committed, or charged to have been
committed, shall pay the expenses of the keeping of such
committed person prisoner. In civil suits, the plaintiff or
defendant shall pay the expenses, in the same manner as if the
imprisonment had taken place in the same county where the suit
was commenced.
    The County Board of the county in which the crime was
committed, may require convicted committed persons prisoners
transferred from such county to reimburse the county for the
expenses incurred by their incarceration to the extent of
their ability to pay for such expenses. The State's Attorney
of the county which incurred the expenses, if authorized by
the County Board, may institute civil actions in the circuit
court of such county to recover from such convicted confined
persons the expenses incurred by their confinement. Such
expenses recovered shall be paid into the county treasury.
