Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

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.

Sec. 5-25016.

Lease or acquisition of property for department.

The board of health of each county or multiple-county health department is
authorized to lease or to acquire by purchase, construction, lease-purchase
agreement or otherwise and take title in its name and to borrow money,
issue debt instruments, mortgages, purchase money mortgages and other
security instruments, maintain, repair, remodel or improve such real estate
as may be reasonably necessary for the housing and proper functioning of
such health department. Money in the County Health Fund may be used for
such purposes.

Upon the discontinuance of a single county health department any such
real estate shall become the property of and title shall be transferred to
the county.

Upon the discontinuance of a multiple-county health department any such
real estate shall be sold and the proceeds distributed pro-rata to the
several counties as their agreed share of the maintenance of such
department may indicate.
