Sec. 5-25004.
Election on establishment of multiple-county health
department and annual levy of additional tax. Whenever a petition signed by
voters representing not less than 10% of the votes cast at the last preceding
general election in each of two or more adjacent counties is presented to
their respective county clerks requesting the establishment and maintenance
of a multiple-county health department and the levy therefor, in excess of
the statutory limit, of an additional annual tax in each county of not
to exceed .1% of the value, as equalized or assessed by the Department
of Revenue, of all taxable property of the county, each
county clerk shall certify the proposition to the county clerk of each of the
other counties mentioned in the petition. Each such county clerk in
accordance with the general election law shall make certification to any
board of election commissioners in his county and shall submit the proposition
to the voters at an election. If the petitions are so presented in 4 or
more counties, the approval of the State Department of Public Health as
provided in Section 5-25001, shall be obtained prior to the
giving of notice. The proposition shall be in substantially the following form:
Shall.... counties levy an annual tax of not to exceed .1% YES for the purpose of providing health
facilities and services in their NO respective counties?
If a majority of all votes cast upon the proposition in each county
is in favor thereof, the several county boards shall immediately proceed
to organize a multiple-county health department and shall agree
concerning the conditions governing the organization and operation of
the department and for the apportionment of the cost thereof. In any
county in which a multiple county health department was established and
organized by a referendum prior to January 1, 1970, the county board
may, by resolution and without subsequent referendum, levy a tax at a
rate not to exceed the rate set forth in Section 5-25010. However, any
levy in excess of .05% shall be approved by at least a
three-fifths vote of the county board. 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.
