    AN ACT concerning regulation.
 
    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
 
    Section 5. The Community-Integrated Living Arrangements
Licensure and Certification Act is amended by changing Section
10 as follows:
 
    (210 ILCS 135/10)  (from Ch. 91 1/2, par. 1710)
    Sec. 10. Community integration State plan.
    (a) Community-integrated living arrangements shall be
located so as to enable residents to participate in and be
integrated into their community or neighborhood. The location
of such arrangements shall promote community integration of
persons with mental disabilities. The Department shall adopt a
plan ("State plan") for the distribution of community living
arrangements throughout the State, considering the need for
such arrangements in the various locations in which they are to
be used. Each agency licensed under this Act must define the
process of obtaining community acceptance of community living
arrangements. The State plan shall include guidelines
regarding the location of community-integrated living
arrangements within the geographic areas to be served by the
agencies, and the availability of support services within those
areas for residents under such arrangements. The Department
shall promulgate such guidelines as rules pursuant to the
Illinois Administrative Procedure Act.
    The Department shall require any agency licensed under this
Act to establish procedures for assuring compliance with such
criteria, including annual review and comment by
representatives of local governmental authorities, community
mental health and developmental disabilities planning and
service agencies, and other interested civil organizations,
regarding the impact on their community areas of any living
arrangements, programs or services to be certified by such
agency. The Department shall give consideration to the comments
of such community representatives in determinations of
compliance with the State plan under this Section, and the
Department may modify, suspend or withhold funding of such
programs and services subject to this Act until such times as
assurance is achieved.
    (b) Beginning January 1, 1990, no Department of State
government, as defined in the Civil Administrative Code of
Illinois, shall place any person in or utilize any services of
a community-integrated living arrangement which is not
certified by an agency under this Act.
