(55 ILCS 5/5-23003) (from Ch. 34, par. 5-23003)
Sec. 5-23003.
Use of vacant facilities.
When part of the facilities
of a sanitarium established and maintained under this Division are vacant
and not needed for the care and treatment of persons afflicted with
tuberculosis, the board of directors, after first obtaining approval of the
County Board, may, for a consideration to be determined by the county
board: (a) extend the privileges and use of the sanitarium for the care and
treatment of persons who are afflicted with chronic pulmonary diseases
other than tuberculosis and persons who are convalescent or chronically
ill, or (b) rent the same to any branch, department or agency of the State
or Federal government, or to any municipal corporation, quasi municipal
corporation, political subdivision or body politic, or agency thereof or
any not-for-profit corporation or any non-profit organization or
association, provided such lessee or lessees be engaged in public health or
welfare work or services in such county; provided such vacant facilities
shall be separate so that tuberculosis patients shall be isolated from the
convalescent and chronically ill and such rented facilities. Such vacant
part may be used partly for any one or more of the uses set forth in (a)
and (b). Any services provided by such sanitarium or board may be made
available with such rented facilities. Non-profit organization or
association means any organization or association, no part of the net
earnings of which inures or may lawfully inure to the benefit of any
individual. The charge for providing care and treatment of those afflicted
with chronic pulmonary disease other than tuberculosis and the convalescent
or chronically ill shall not be less than the actual cost of providing such
care and treatment.
