§ 5-23005 — Out-patient and follow-up services upon closing of facility

A board of directors, upon whose recommendation the county board has closed its sanitarium as provided in Section 5-23004, shall continue in existence and provide out-patient clinical and follow-up services to the residents of its county in other private or public sanitariums of this State. Any of its equipment, facilities and other property which is required or useful in providing those services may be retained by the board of directors and applied to that use rather than as provided in Section 5-23004. The proceeds paid into the Tuberculosis Sanitarium Fund under that Section shall be used to pay the costs of providing the out-patient clinical and follow-up services, including but not limited to the construction and maintenance of an out-patient clinic and the acquisition of equipment therefor. Any balance of the proceeds from the disposition of sanitarium facilities under Section 5-23004 remaining after payment of the costs of out-patient clinical and follow-up services under this Section may be used to reduce the rate of tax necessary to provide this in-patient care and the out-patient clinical and follow-up services.
