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.
(70 ILCS 1005/8)
(from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 81)
Sec. 8. The board of trustees of any mosquito abatement district shall, in
its work, advise and cooperate with the Department of Public Health of the
State, and the board of trustees of such district shall submit to such
Department, on or before January 1st of each year, a report of the work
done and results obtained by the district during the preceding year.
The board of trustees of any mosquito abatement district, or its designee,
shall conduct routine
surveillance of mosquitoes to detect the presence
of mosquito-borne
diseases of public health significance. The surveillance shall be conducted in
accordance with mosquito
abatement and
control guidelines as set forth by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention. Areas reporting
disease in humans shall be included in the surveillance activities. Mosquito
abatement districts
shall report to the local certified public health department the results of
any positive mosquito
samples infected with any arboviral infections, including, but not
limited
to: West Nile
Virus, St. Louis Encephalitis, and Eastern Equine Encephalitis. Reports shall
be made to the local
certified public health department's director of environmental health, or a
designee of the department, within 24 hours
after receiving a positive report. The report shall include the type of
infection, the number of
mosquitoes collected in the trapping device, the type of trapping device used,
and
the type of
laboratory testing used to confirm the infection.
Any trustee of a mosquito abatement district, or designee of the board of
trustees of a mosquito abatement district, that fails to
comply with the
requirements of this Act is guilty of a Class A Misdemeanor.
