Suit Planned to Test Hospital Authority Act
Vandalia Illinois August 2 A friendly court suit is planned to test the 1949 Illinois Hospital Authority act. Fayette County Hospital board will join with district boards in Jersey Livingston and Schuyler counties to challenge the law. The act allows counties or parts of counties to form hospital districts to build and operate facilities as part of the state health program. The 1949 law followed a 1947 act ruled invalid for requiring separate rural and city referendums. The legislature revised the 1947 act last session to remove that objection.
