325 ILCS 60/ Surgical Institute for Children Act.

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

Any child under the age of 16 years whose parents, or natural guardian,
may be unable to furnish proper surgical treatment and who may be in need
of the same, may be admitted to such institute, upon an order to that
effect made by the circuit judge residing in the county in which the child
may have had a legal residence for one year last past. The county treasurer
of the county in which the child may have so resided shall, upon the order
of the judge, furnish such child with transportation from the place where
he may so reside to the place of such institution and return. The order
admitting such child shall, when made, be filed with the superintendent of
the institute, and the child shall be admitted thereto in the regular order
of filing as soon thereafter as the institute can provide room, care and
attendance therefor. The child, if deemed feasible, shall be treated,
nursed in the institute, until a recovery is effected, or it becomes
apparent that further treatment will be of no avail, whereupon he shall be
discharged and returned to his former place of residence.
