55 ILCS 5/ Counties Code.

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.

(55 ILCS 5/3-15016) (from Ch. 34, par. 3-15016)

Sec. 3-15016.

Liability for expenses.

The County Board may require
convicted persons confined in a facility of the Department to reimburse the
county for the expenses incurred by their confinement to the extent of
their ability to pay for such expenses. The State's attorney of the county
in which the facility is located, if authorized by the County Board, may
institute civil actions to recover from such convicted confined persons the
expenses incurred by their confinement. Such expenses recovered shall be
paid into the county treasury.

An arresting authority shall be responsible for any incurred 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.

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, "medical expenses relating to the
arrestee" means only those expenses incurred for medical care or treatment
provided to an arrestee on account of an injury suffered by the arrestee
during the course of his arrest; the term does not include any expenses
incurred for medical care or treatment provided to an arrestee on account
of a health condition of the arrestee which existed prior to the time of
his arrest.
