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 2805/4.1

(70 ILCS 2805/4.1) (from Ch. 42, par. 415.1)

Sec. 4.1.

The board of trustees of any sanitary district may arrange to
provide for the benefit of employees and trustees of the sanitary district
group life, health, accident, hospital and medical insurance, or any one or
any combination of such types of insurance.  Such insurance may include
provision for employees and trustees who rely on treatment by prayer or
spiritual means alone for healing in accordance with the tenets and
practice of a well recognized religious denomination.  The board of trustees
may provide for payment by the sanitary district of the premium or charge
for such insurance.

If the board of trustees do not provide for a plan pursuant to which the
sanitary district pays the premium or charge for any group insurance plan,
the board of trustees may provide for the withholding and deducting from
the compensation of such of the employees and trustees as consent thereto
the premium or charge for any group life, health, accident, hospital and
medical insurance.

The board of trustees may exercise the powers granted in this section
only if the kinds of such group insurance are obtained from any insurance
company authorized to do business in the State of Illinois or any other
organization or
service offering similar coverage.  The board of trustees may enact an
ordinance prescribing the method of operations of such insurance program.
