(55 ILCS 5/5-24004) (from Ch. 34, par. 5-24004)
Sec. 5-24004.
Order for payment for treatment by county.
Upon
the hearing of such a petition and the court being fully
advised in the premises, and finding the facts therein alleged to be true,
and that the applicant is financially unable to pay for such treatment and
that no relative legally responsible therefor is financially able to pay
for such treatment, may make an order upon the county board to pay for any
such treatment for the applicant for any sum not in excess of $40 per
month as the court deems necessary and
reasonable considering the financial condition of the applicant, which sum
may be used to provide necessary treatment, and in addition thereto,
medicine, nursing care and food for such applicant, if such applicant is
shown to be financially unable to pay for such medicine, care or food. It
shall thereupon be the duty of the county board to see that such amount so
fixed by the court is expended for treatment, or treatment and medicine,
nursing care and food, as the case may be, for such applicant, until
further order of the court.
