Illinois Statutes Chapter 55. Counties § 5/5-7002. Election for tax levy

§ 5-7002. Election for tax levy. When a county board passes a resolution asking that an annual tax may be levied for the purpose of maintaining public nonsectarian hospitals in the county, and so instructs the county clerk, the county board shall certify the resolution and the proposition to the proper election officials, who shall submit the proposition at an election in accordance with the general election law. The proposition shall be in substantially the following form:

If a majority of all the votes cast upon the proposition are for the levy of such tax, the county board may thereafter annually levy such tax, and thereafter the county board shall, in the annual appropriation bill, appropriate from such fund such sum or sums of money as may be deemed necessary to defray necessary expenses and liabilities of such hospitals.
