Illinois Compiled Statutes
Information maintained by the Legislative Reference Bureau 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.

Liability insurance.
The board of
directors may insure against any loss or liability
of the county, or of the tuberculosis sanitarium, or the branches,
dispensaries or auxiliary institutions of such sanitarium, or of any
employee, agent or officer of such sanitarium, resulting from the wrongful
or negligent act of such employee, agent or officer in
the discharge of his duties within the scope of his employment.
Such insurance shall be carried in a company licensed to write such
coverage in this State. Every policy of such insurance shall provide, or be
endorsed to provide, that the company issuing such policy waives any right
to refuse payment or to deny liability thereunder by reason of the
non-liability of the insured county, tuberculosis sanitarium or the
branches, dispensaries or other auxiliary institutions of such sanitarium
for the wrongful or negligent acts of its employees, agents and officers.

Sec. 5-23013.
Services; regulations.
Every sanitarium board established
under this Division shall provide sanitarium care and clinical and follow-up
services for the benefit of such of the inhabitants of the county who may be
afflicted with tuberculosis. Those inhabitants shall be entitled to occupancy,
nursing, care, medicines and attendance, according to the rules and regulations
prescribed by the board of directors. The board of directors may adopt
reasonable rules and regulations requiring payment for services by persons with
private health insurance and persons entitled to medical assistance under the
Illinois Public Aid Code. The board of directors may adopt reasonable rules
and regulations concerning the use of the facilities established pursuant to
this Division in order to render the use of these facilities of the greatest
benefit to the greatest number, and the board of directors may exclude from the
use of the sanitarium any and all persons who willfully violate the board's
rules or regulations. The board may not, however, prescribe rules and
regulations which conflict with Section 5-23014 of this Division, and a
determination of whether a person is an inhabitant or resident of the county
for purposes of this Division shall be based on Section 5-23014. Except as
authorized and permitted by Section 5-23011 no person afflicted with
tuberculosis may be compelled to enter a sanitarium, or any of its branches,
dispensaries, or other auxiliary institutions without his consent in writing
first having been obtained, or, in case of a minor or one under a disability,
the consent in writing of the parent or the parents, guardian or conservator,
as the case may be. The board of directors shall upon request or by consent of
the persons afflicted, or of his or her parent or guardian extend the benefits
and privileges of the institution, under proper rules and regulations, into the
homes of persons afflicted with tuberculosis, shall furnish nurses,
instruction, medicines, attendance, and all other aid necessary to effect a
cure, and shall do all things in and about the treatment and care of persons so
afflicted, which will have a tendency to effect a cure of the person or persons
afflicted with tuberculosis and to eradicate tuberculosis in the county
including the discovery of undiagnosed tuberculosis in the county. Boards of
directors shall provide out-patient clinical and follow-up services to
tuberculosis patients, in accordance with minimum standards prescribed
therefor, by the director of the Department of Public Health. The board of
directors may make such arrangements and agreements with public or private
health agencies for cooperation and assistance in providing case-finding
services and out-patient clinical and follow-up services as it considers
necessary or desirable. The board of directors may extend the privileges and
use of the sanitarium and treatment to persons so afflicted, residing outside
of the county, upon such terms and conditions as the board of directors may
from time to time by its rules and regulations prescribe consistent with
Section 5-23014.
Boards of directors may use funds secured from taxes levied under
Sections 1 and 2 in providing sanitarium care of tuberculosis patients in
private or public sanitariums. No county that has voted for the
establishment and maintenance of a county tuberculosis sanitarium is
prevented from using funds acquired by levy of annual tax for such purpose
for the care of tuberculosis patients in private or public sanitariums by
reason of Sections 5-23029 and 5-23030 or Sections 5-23039 and 5-23040
authorizing levy of an annual tax for the care and treatment of persons
afflicted with tuberculosis; but if a vote under Sections 5-23029 and
5-23030 or Sections 5-23039 and 5-23040 authorizes the levy of an annual
tax for the care and treatment of persons afflicted with tuberculosis, then
the levy of an annual tax for the establishment and maintenance of a county
tuberculosis sanitarium under Sections 5-23001 and 5-23006 shall be
discontinued without submission of the question of discontinuing the levy
of a tax under Sections 5-23001 and 5-23006 to a vote of the electors.

(a) in which he has resided for at least 3 months or | | who has demonstrated the intent to become a resident at the time he is first diagnosed as having tuberculosis, or suspected of having tuberculosis, for the period from the time of that diagnosis until his case becomes inactive or he has resided outside of that county for 6 months, whichever first occurs;
|
|
(b) in which he has resided for at least 6 months
| | with a known case of tuberculosis after moving from the county where the case was first diagnosed; or
|
|
(c) in which he has resided for at least 6 months

|

The board of directors may provide hospitalization to any person

A person suffering from tuberculosis who does not meet the residency
requirements under paragraph (a), (b) or (c) of this Section may be

from any person any contribution or donation of money or property, and
shall pay over to the treasurer of such county all moneys thus received, as
often as once in each month, and shall take the receipt of such treasurer
therefor; and shall also at each regular meeting of the county board,
report to such county board the names of all persons from whom any such
contribution or donation has been received, since the date of the last
report, and the amount and nature of the property so received from each,
and the date when the same was received. The board of directors shall
make, on or before the second Monday in June of each year, an annual report
to the county board, stating the condition of their trust on the first day
of June of that year, the various sums of money received from the
tuberculosis sanitarium fund and from other sources, and how such moneys
have been expended and for what purpose, the number of patients, and such
other statistics, information and suggestions as they may deem of general
