AN ACT concerning local government.

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

Section 5. The Metro-East Sanitary District Act of 1974 is amended by changing Section 3-4 as follows:

(70 ILCS 2905/3-4) (from Ch. 42, par. 503-4)

Sec. 3-4. (a) Commissioners shall be paid the same salaries as the county board members from either St. Clair or Madison County whichever is lower.

(b) The board of commissioners may, by ordinance, arrange to provide employees and commissioners of the sanitary district group, life, health, accident, hospital, and medical insurance, or any one or any combination of such types of insurance. The insurance may include provision for employees and commissioners 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 commissioners may provide for payment by the sanitary district of the premium or charge for the insurance.

If the sanitary district does not pay for the premium or charge for group life, health, accident, hospital, or medical insurance, the board of commissioners may allow withholding and deducting from the compensation of the employees and commissioners of the premium or charge for the group life, health, accident, hospital, or medical insurance.

Insurance obtained under this subsection must be obtained from an insurance company authorized to do business in the State of Illinois or any other organization or service offering similar coverage authorized to do business in the State of Illinois.
