    AN ACT concerning local government.
 
    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
 
    Section 5. The County Shelter Care and Detention Home Act
is amended by changing Sections 1, 3, and 9.1 and by adding
Section 9.2 as follows:
 
    (55 ILCS 75/1)  (from Ch. 23, par. 2681)
    Sec. 1. Establishment and maintenance of homes.
    (a) The board of county commissioners or the county board
in any county in this State, may locate, purchase, erect,
lease, or otherwise provide and establish, support and maintain
a detention home for the care and custody of delinquent minors
and a shelter care home for the temporary care of minors who
are delinquent, dependent, neglected, addicted, abused or
require authoritative intervention. They may levy and collect a
tax to pay the cost of its establishment and maintenance in
accordance with the terms and provisions of this Act. In
counties with 300,000 or less inhabitants, the powers
enumerated in this Act shall not be exercised unless this Act
is adopted by the legal voters of the county as provided in
this Act. In counties with over 300,000 but less than 1,000,000
inhabitants the county board by majority vote may establish
county shelter care and detention homes without adoption of
this Act by the legal voters and without referendum.
    (b) In any county, if the board of county commissioners or
the county board, as the case may be, determines that a shelter
care or detention home presently in use is obsolete, it may
continue to operate the shelter care or detention home on a
temporary basis and, by majority vote of that board, may
rebuild or replace the home at its present location or another.
    (c) No county shall be required to discontinue the use of
any shelter care or detention home in existence or in use on
the effective date of this amendatory Act of 1975 because of
the fact that the proposition to establish and maintain the
shelter care or detention home has not been submitted to the
voters as provided in this Act.
    This amendatory Act of 1975 is not a limit on any county
which is a home rule unit.
    (d) Cook County is not required to discontinue the use of
the Cook County Juvenile Temporary Detention Center or of any
other shelter care home or detention home in existence or in
use on the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 95th
General Assembly because of the fact that the proposition to
establish and maintain it was not submitted to the voters as
provided in this Act.

effective date of this amendatory Act of the 95th General
Assembly shall terminate upon the appointment of his or her
successor.
    (c) The Chief Judge of the Cook County Circuit Court, or
any Judge of that Circuit designated by the Chief Judge, shall
have administrative control over the budget of the Cook County
Juvenile Temporary Detention Center and any other shelter care
home or detention home in Cook County, subject to the approval
of the Cook County Board and in accordance with subsections (a)
and (d) of this Section.
    (d) The supplies or repairs necessary to maintain, operate,
and conduct the shelter care home and the detention home shall
be furnished upon the requisition of its administrator to the
chairman of a committee as may be designated by the county
board, however in Cook County the administrator shall submit
