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.

Discontinuance of treatment.
Whenever a petition
signed by 200 or more legal voters of a county which has adopted this
Division, is presented to the county board, requesting the
submission of a proposition whether or not the treatment of persons
afflicted with cancer or tumor under the provisions of this Division
be discontinued, the county board shall adopt a resolution
providing for the submission of the proposition to the voters of the county
in a similar manner as is hereinabove provided for the submission of the
proposition for the adoption of the provisions of this Division. The
county board shall certify the resolution and the proposition
to the proper election officials, who shall submit the proposition at an
election in accordance with the general election law.
If a majority of the voters of the county voting upon the proposition
are in favor thereof the proposition shall be deemed adopted and the
treatment of persons afflicted with cancer or tumor and any tax levied
therefor shall be discontinued in the county. If any funds remain to the
credit of the Cancer and Tumor Fund, after such a tax has been
discontinued, and no outstanding indebtedness exists against the county
for the purpose of the treatment of persons afflicted with cancer or
tumor, the remaining funds shall be paid into the general fund for
county purposes in the county treasury.

Any county or two or more adjacent counties may, by resolution of
the county board or county boards of the respective counties, as the case
may be, or upon approval by referendum as hereinafter provided, establish
and maintain a full-time health department; provided, that four or more
counties must obtain the approval of the State Department of Public Health
prior to establishing a multiple-county health department. The approval may
be obtained upon application by the county board of any county, containing
such information as may be required by the State Department. Approval shall
be granted if the State Department determines that the establishment of the
multiple-county health department is essential to the health requirements
of the area affected.
A "consolidated health department" shall mean a health department which
has resulted from the merging of two or more adjacent existing county or
multiple-county health departments, as provided in Section 5-25019.
A full-time health department is one whose personnel, other than
consultants and clinicians, devote their full time during regular, standard
working hours to health department duties. Reference hereinafter made to
health departments means full-time health departments unless otherwise
specified.
