Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Amends the Department of Human Services Act, the Abuse of Adults with Disabilities Intervention Act, and the Abused and Neglected Child Reporting Act. Provides that the Department of Human Services' Office of the Inspector General is created to investigate and report upon allegations of the abuse, neglect, or financial exploitation of individuals receiving services within mental health facilities, developmental disabilities facilities, and community agencies operated, licensed, funded, or certified by the Department of Human Services or by any other State agency (rather than, report upon allegations of the abuse, neglect, or financial exploitation of individuals receiving services within mental health facilities, developmental disabilities facilities, and community agencies operated, licensed, funded, or certified by the Department of Human Services, but not licensed or certified by any other State agency). Changes the definitions of "agency" and "facility" as they relate to the Department of Human Services's Office of the Inspector General. Eliminates language providing that the Inspector General shall not conduct an investigation within an agency or facility if that investigation would be redundant to or interfere with an investigation conducted by another State agency. Eliminates language concerning the Inspector General's rulemaking authority. Provides that, in addition to other specified persons, the Inspector General must disclose the finding of an investigation to the licensing entity, if any, of the facility involved. Requires the Adults with Disabilities Abuse Project to initiate the investigation of a report of alleged or suspected abuse, neglect, or financial exploitation within 24 hours of receiving the report. Requires the Department of Children and Family Services to provides the toll-free telephone number maintained by the Department of Human Services' Office of the Inspector General to any person who makes a report of suspected abuse, neglect, or financial exploitation of a disabled adult person between the ages of 18 and 59.
