Section 15. The Community Services Act is amended by changing Section 4.6 as follows:

(405 ILCS 30/4.6)

Sec. 4.6. Closure and sale of State mental health or developmental disabilities facility.

(a) Whenever a State mental health facility operated by the Department of Human Services is closed and the real estate on which the facility is located is sold by the State, then, to the extent that net proceeds are realized from the sale of that real estate, those net proceeds must be used for mental health services or to support mental health services directed toward providing other services and supports for persons with mental health needs. To that end, those net proceeds shall be deposited into the Community Mental Health Medicaid Trust Fund. The net proceeds from the sale of a State mental health facility may be spent over a number of fiscal years and are not required to be spent in the same fiscal year in which they are deposited.

(b) Whenever a State developmental disabilities facility operated by the Department of Human Services is closed and the real estate on which the facility is located is sold by the State, then, to the extent that net proceeds are realized from the sale of that real estate, those net proceeds must be directed toward providing other services and supports for persons with developmental disabilities needs. To that end, those net proceeds shall be deposited into the Community Developmental Disability Services Medicaid Trust Fund. The net proceeds from the sale of a State developmental disabilities facility may be spent over a number of fiscal years and are not required to be spent in the same fiscal year in which they are deposited.

(c) The sale of a State mental health or developmental disabilities facility shall be done in accordance with applicable State laws and, if a State mental health or developmental disabilities facility to be sold has been financed or refinanced with tax-exempt bonds, applicable federal laws. In determining whether any net proceeds are realized from a sale of real estate described in subsection (a) or (b), the Division of Developmental Disabilities and the Division of Mental Health of the Department of Human Services shall each first determine the money, if any, that shall be made available for infrastructure not to exceed 25% of the proceeds of the sale of the real estate to ensure that life, safety, and care concerns, including infrastructure, are addressed so as to provide for persons with developmental disabilities or mental illness at the remaining respective State-operated facilities that will be expected to serve the individuals previously served at the closed facility. That amount shall be excluded from the calculation of net proceeds by the Division of Developmental Disabilities or the Division of Mental Health, or both, of the Department of Human Services. Amounts determined by the Department for infrastructure to be necessary to ensure that life, safety, and care concerns are addressed shall be deposited, respectively, into the Community Mental Health Medicaid Trust Fund or the Community Developmental Disability Services Medicaid Trust Fund.

(c-1) To the extent that a State mental health facility which has been closed served a geographical area, at minimum, 40% of the resulting net proceeds of its sale shall be made exclusively in the facility's geographical area. If any other State-operated mental health facility which served a specific geographic area was closed within one year before or after the closure of the facility whose sale has resulted in net proceeds under this Section, 20% of the proceeds shall be used to provide services in the geographic area of this facility. The remainder of the net proceeds may be spent anywhere in the State. All net proceeds may be used for the following mental health services and supports, to include, but not limited to:

(1) Permanent Supportive housing.

(2) Technology that enables behavioral health providers to participate in health information exchanges.

(3) Assertive Community Treatment and Community Support Team.

(4) Transitional living apartments.

(5) Crisis residential services targeted at diverting persons with mental illnesses from emergency departments (including peer run crisis services).

(6) Psychiatric services.

(7) Community mental health services targeted at diverting persons with mental illness from the criminal justice system.

(8) Individual Placement and Support and other services to support employment.

(9) Alcohol and substance abuse treatment.

(d) The purposes for which the net proceeds from a sale of real estate as provided in subsection (b) of this Section may be used include, but are not limited to, the following:

(1) Providing individuals with developmental disabilities community–based Medicaid services and supports such as residential habilitation, day programs, supported employment, home-based supports, therapies, adaptive equipment, and home modifications.

(2) Assisting individuals with developmental disabilities through case management, service coordination, and assessments.

(3) Strengthening the service delivery system through crisis intervention services.

(4) Enhancing the service delivery system through infrastructure improvements, including technology improvements.

(1) Providing for individuals with developmental disabilities and mental health needs the services and supports described in subsection (e) of Section 4.4.

(2) In the case of the closure of a mental health facility, the construction of a new facility to serve the needs of persons with mental health needs.

(3) In the case of the closure of a developmental disabilities facility, construction of a new facility to serve the needs of persons with developmental disabilities needs.

(e) Whenever any net proceeds are realized from a sale of real estate as provided in this Section, the Department of Human Services shall share and discuss its plan or plans for using those net proceeds with advocates, advocacy organizations, and advisory groups whose mission includes advocacy for persons with developmental disabilities or persons with mental illness.

(f) Consistent with the provisions of Sections 4.4 and 4.5 of this Act, whenever a State mental health facility operated by the Department of Human Services is closed, the Department of Human Services, at the direction of the Governor, shall transfer funds from the closed facility to the appropriate line item providing appropriation authority for the new venue of care to facilitate the transition of services to the new venue of care, provided that the new venue of care is a Department of Human Services funded provider or facility.
