limit of 12 1/2¢ per $100 valuation of taxable property and in excess of

greater, of the value, as equalized or assessed by the
Department of Revenue, annually on all taxable property of
the county, for the purpose of maintaining public nonsectarian hospitals
located in the county. Such tax shall be levied and collected in like
manner as the general taxes of the county, and shall, when collected, be
paid into the "Hospital Fund", which fund is hereby created. Such tax shall
be in addition to all other taxes which the county is now, or hereafter may
be, authorized to levy on the aggregate valuation of the property within
the county and shall not be included in any tax limitation of rate upon
which taxes are required to be extended but shall be excluded therefrom and
in addition thereto. The foregoing limitations upon tax rates, insofar as
they are applicable to counties of less than 1,000,000 population, may be
increased or decreased under the referendum provisions of the General
Revenue Law of Illinois.
For the purposes of this Division the words, "public nonsectarian
hospital", shall be construed to include community hospitals operated on a
non-profit basis, which are required by the terms of any contract to
receive and care for acutely ill patients up to 25 per cent of the service
rendered by such hospital expressed in terms of patient-days, regardless of
whether the hospital receives compensation from such patients for the
services rendered.
