AI Summary
This bill establishes a new South Suburban Trauma Center Fund and creates a mechanism to fund its development through a specific toll surcharge. The bill directs the Health Facilities and Services Review Board to designate a trauma center location on the border between Calumet City and the Village of Dolton, select a healthcare provider to operate the center, and develop an operational agreement. From July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2035, a $1 surcharge will be added to tolls at Plaza 47, with 20% of the revenue generated from this surcharge being deposited into the new South Suburban Trauma Center Fund. The board will be responsible for determining the center's revenue sources and ensuring its establishment and maintenance. The trauma center is specifically intended to improve emergency medical services in the south suburban area of Illinois, addressing potential healthcare access gaps. The toll surcharge and associated fund allocation will automatically expire on January 1, 2036, providing a ten-year window for funding and establishing the trauma center.
