Illinois Statutes Chapter 15. Executive Officers § 16/20. Representation on boards or other entities

§ 20. Representation on boards or other entities. When any provision of an Executive Order or Act provides for the membership of the Director of Healthcare and Family Services on any council, commission, board, or other entity that exercises any of the State healthcare purchasing functions transferred by this Act, the Director or Secretary of the Department to which the State healthcare purchasing function is transferred under this Act, or his or her designee, shall serve in the place of the Director of Healthcare and Family Services, but only with regard to the exercise of the function transferred under this Act. If more than one such person is required by law to serve on any council, commission, board, or other entity, then an equivalent number of the representatives of the Department to which the applicable function is transferred under this Act shall so serve. In addition, any statutory mandate that provides for action on the part of the Director of Healthcare and Family Services relating to a State healthcare purchasing function transferred under this Act shall become the responsibility of the Director or Secretary of the Department to which that function is transferred under this Act.
