In counties
where a proposition for the levy of a tax for the care and treatment of
persons afflicted with tuberculosis has been adopted as
provided in this Division, the board of directors shall use
funds secured under this Division in providing sanitarium care
in private or public sanitariums and clinical and follow-up services for

of directors shall, upon the request or by the consent of the person afflicted
or of his or her parent or guardian, under proper rules and regulations, care
for and treat tuberculosis in the homes of persons afflicted with
tuberculosis, shall furnish nurses, instruction, medicines, attendance and
all other aid necessary to effect a cure and shall do all things in and
about the treatment and care of persons afflicted with tuberculosis, which
will have a tendency to effect a cure of the person or persons afflicted
therewith and to eradicate tuberculosis in the county including the
discovery of undiagnosed tuberculosis in the county. No person shall be
compelled to undergo an examination or test for tuberculosis if he or she
objects thereto on the ground that it is contrary to his or her religious
convictions, unless there is probable cause to suspect that he or she is
infected with tuberculosis in a communicable stage. Boards of directors
shall provide out-patient clinical and follow-up services to tuberculosis
patients, in accordance with minimum standards prescribed therefor, by the
director of the Department of Public Health. The board of directors may
make such arrangements and agreements with public or private health
agencies for cooperation and assistance in providing case-finding services
and out-patient clinical and follow-up services as it considers necessary
or desirable.
