Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

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 705/22.1)
Sec. 22.1. Emergency ambulance service.

Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the board of trustees of a fire protection district may, by majority vote of the board of trustees, adopt a resolution to discontinue the district's emergency ambulance service and to discontinue the district's tax upon certification as provided by this Section if a county that is already providing emergency ambulance service through an intergovernmental agreement levies a tax for emergency ambulance service under Section 5-1028 of the Counties Code and the county has, by ordinance, agreed to assume the emergency ambulance service at the expiration of the intergovernmental agreement between the district and county. A resolution adopted under this Section must include an end date of services. Upon certification to the county clerk by both the county and the district that all criteria have been met under this Section and Section 5-1028.2 of the Counties Code, the district may not levy a tax for emergency ambulance service under Section 22 unless the county repeals the ordinance adopted under Section 5-1028.2 and the county's tax adopted under Section 5-1028. If the district elects to no longer provide emergency ambulance service under this Section, the election shall not be construed as affecting the district's authority to levy a tax and provide fire protection service under this Act.
