Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

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.

(20 ILCS 3501/840-20)

Sec. 840-20.

It is the intent and purpose of this Act that the exercise by
the Authority of the powers granted to it shall be in all respects for the
benefit of the people of this State to assist them to provide needed health
facilities of the number, size, type, distribution, and operation that will
assure admission and care of high quality to all who need it. To this end, the
Authority is charged with the responsibility to identify and study all projects
which are determined by health planning agencies to be needed but which could
not sustain a loan were such to be made to it under this Act. The Authority
shall, following such study, formulate and recommend to the General Assembly,
such amendments to this and other Acts, and such other specific measures as
grants, loan guarantees, interest subsidies or other actions as may be provided
for by the State which actions would render the construction and operation of
such needed health facility feasible and in the public interest. Further, the
Authority may identify and study any laws or
regulations which it finds handicaps or bars a needed health facility from
participating in the benefits of this Act and may recommend to the General
Assembly such actions as will remedy such situation.
