(55 ILCS 5/5-23012) (from Ch. 34, par. 5-23012)
Sec. 5-23012.
Liability insurance.
The board of
directors may insure against any loss or liability
of the county, or of the tuberculosis sanitarium, or the branches,
dispensaries or auxiliary institutions of such sanitarium, or of any
employee, agent or officer of such sanitarium, resulting from the wrongful
or negligent act of such employee, agent or officer in
the discharge of his duties within the scope of his employment.
Such insurance shall be carried in a company licensed to write such
coverage in this State. Every policy of such insurance shall provide, or be
endorsed to provide, that the company issuing such policy waives any right
to refuse payment or to deny liability thereunder by reason of the
non-liability of the insured county, tuberculosis sanitarium or the
branches, dispensaries or other auxiliary institutions of such sanitarium
for the wrongful or negligent acts of its employees, agents and officers.
