SB2069 Enrolled                                LRB9212756NTpk

    AN ACT relating to higher education institutions.

    Be it  enacted  by  the  People  of  the  State  of  Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:

    Section 5.  The University of Illinois  Hospital  Act  is
amended by changing Section 5 as follows:

    (110 ILCS 330/5) (from Ch. 23, par. 1375)
    Sec.  5. The University may establish and collect charges
for hospital services rendered in the University of  Illinois
Hospital  or  in  connection  with  a  University health care
program.  However, with respect to health  care  professional
services rendered in connection with a University health care
program  at  the University of Illinois Hospital or elsewhere
by the Doctors of Medicine,  the  Doctors  of  Dentistry,  or
other  health  care  professionals  who  are  members  of the
University faculty, charges for  such  professional  services
shall  not  be  established or collected by the University or
the University of  Illinois  Hospital  but  may  be  by  said
members of said faculty who render such services under a plan
or plans organized and administered by them. All such charges
shall be deposited in a special fund or funds in the treasury
of  the University. The billing, collecting and disbursing of
any such fund shall remain exclusively under the  supervision
and control of such faculty under a plan or plans established
by  them  for  the  general benefit and support of University
programs and activities related to  the  health  professions,
provided  no charges may be made or collected until such plan
has been approved by the University. However, no person shall
make or collect a personal or professional charge for his own
account for treating, caring for or nursing a patient in  the
University  of  Illinois  Hospital  (other  than  health care
professional services provided at the University of  Illinois
Hospital  by  non-salaried adjunct University faculty who are
licensed dentists or physicians licensed to practice medicine
in  all  its  branches  members)  or  in  connection  with  a
University health care program. Nothing herein shall  prevent
the  University  from  approving  a plan under which any such
fund in the University treasury may be utilized in paying the
University  salaries  of  such  faculty  members,   or   from
assisting  in  the  billing  and  collection  of professional
charges if all University costs in connection  therewith  are
paid from the charges so collected.
