3 counties with 300,000 or less inhabitants, the powers
4 enumerated in this Act shall not be exercised unless this Act
5 is adopted by the legal voters of the county as provided in
6 this Act. In counties with over 300,000 but less than 1,000,000

13 continue to operate the shelter care or detention home on a
14 temporary basis and, by majority vote of that board, may
15 rebuild or replace the home at its present location or another.
16     (c) No county shall be required to discontinue the use of
17 any shelter care or detention home in existence or in use on
18 the effective date of this amendatory Act of 1975 because of
19 the fact that the proposition to establish and maintain the
20 shelter care or detention home has not been submitted to the
21 voters as provided in this Act.
22     This amendatory Act of 1975 is not a limit on any county
23 which is a home rule unit.
24     (d) Cook County is not required to discontinue the use of
25 the Cook County Juvenile Temporary Detention Center or of any
26 other shelter care home or detention home in existence or in
