8     Sec. 1. Establishment and maintenance of homes.
9     (a) The board of county commissioners or the county board
10 in any county in this State, may locate, purchase, erect,
11 lease, or otherwise provide and establish, support and maintain
12 a detention home for the care and custody of delinquent minors
13 and a shelter care home for the temporary care of minors who
14 are delinquent, dependent, neglected, addicted, abused or
15 require authoritative intervention. They may levy and collect a
16 tax to pay the cost of its establishment and maintenance in

18 counties with 300,000 or less inhabitants, the powers
19 enumerated in this Act shall not be exercised unless this Act

22 inhabitants the county board by majority vote may establish
23 county shelter care and detention homes without adoption of
24 this Act by the legal voters and without referendum.
25     (b) In any county, if the board of county commissioners or
26 the county board, as the case may be, determines that a shelter
27 care or detention home presently in use is obsolete, it may
28 continue to operate the shelter care or detention home on a
29 temporary basis and, by majority vote of that board, may
30 rebuild or replace the home at its present location or another.
31     (c) No county shall be required to discontinue the use of
