7    Sec. 4A. (a) "Person with a disability" as used in this Act
8means any person who is, and who is expected to indefinitely
9continue to be, subject to any of the following five types of
10disabilities:
11    Type One: Physical disability. A physical disability is a
12physical impairment, disease, or loss, which is of a permanent
13nature, and which substantially limits physical ability or
14motor skills. The Secretary of State shall establish standards
15not inconsistent with this provision necessary to determine
16the presence of a physical disability.
17    Type Two: Developmental disability. Developmental
18disability means "developmental disability" as defined in
19Section 1-106 of the Mental Health and Developmental
20Disabilities Code a disability that is attributable to: (i) an
21intellectual disability, cerebral palsy, epilepsy, or autism
22or (ii) any other condition that results in impairment similar
23to that caused by an intellectual disability and requires

 

 

HB5196 Engrossed- 2 -LRB102 24844 RJT 34091 b

1services similar to those required by persons with
2intellectual disabilities. Such a disability must originate
3before the age of 18 years, be expected to continue
4indefinitely, and constitute a substantial disability. The
5Secretary of State shall establish standards not inconsistent
6with this provision necessary to determine the presence of a
7developmental disability.
8    Type Three: Visual disability. A visual disability is
9blindness, and the term "blindness" means central vision
10acuity of 20/200 or less in the better eye with the use of a
11correcting lens. An eye that is accompanied by a limitation in
12the fields of vision so that the widest diameter of the visual
13field subtends an angle no greater than 20 degrees shall be
14considered as having a central vision acuity of 20/200 or
15less. The Secretary of State shall establish standards not
16inconsistent with this Section necessary to determine the
17presence of a visual disability.
18    Type Four: Hearing disability. A hearing disability is a
19disability resulting in complete absence of hearing, or
20hearing that with sound enhancing or magnifying equipment is
21so impaired as to require the use of sensory input other than
22hearing as the principal means of receiving spoken language.
23The Secretary of State shall establish standards not
24inconsistent with this Section necessary to determine the
25presence of a hearing disability.
26    Type Five: Mental Disability. A mental disability is a

2affective, or relational abilities that may require
3intervention and may be a recognized, medically diagnosable
4illness or disorder. The Secretary of State shall establish
5standards not inconsistent with this provision necessary to
6determine the presence of a mental disability.

8classified as follows: Class 1 disability: A Class 1
9disability is any type disability which does not render a
10person unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity or

12perform labor or services for which he is qualified. The
13Secretary of State shall establish standards not inconsistent
14with this Section necessary to determine the presence of a
15Class 1 disability. Class 1A disability: A Class 1A disability
16is a Class 1 disability which renders a person unable to walk
17200 feet or more unassisted by another person or without the
18aid of a walker, crutches, braces, prosthetic device or a
19wheelchair or without great difficulty or discomfort due to
20the following impairments: neurologic, orthopedic,
21oncological, respiratory, cardiac, arthritic disorder,
22blindness, or the loss of function or absence of a limb or
23limbs. The Secretary of State shall establish standards not
24inconsistent with this Section necessary to determine the
25presence of a Class 1A disability. Class 2 disability: A Class
262 disability is any type disability which renders a person

 

 

HB5196 Engrossed- 4 -LRB102 24844 RJT 34091 b

1unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity, which
2substantially impairs his ability to live independently
3without supervision or in-home support services, or which
4substantially impairs his ability to perform labor or services
5for which he is qualified or significantly restricts the labor
6or services which he is able to perform. The Secretary of State
7shall establish standards not inconsistent with this Section
8necessary to determine the presence of a Class 2 disability.
9Class 2A disability: A Class 2A disability is a Class 2
10disability which renders a person unable to walk 200 feet or
11more unassisted by another person or without the aid of a
12walker, crutches, braces, prosthetic device or a wheelchair or

3resides in a facility, subject to the limitations of this Act.
4The agency shall also have access for the purpose of
5inspection and copying, to the records of a person with
6developmental disabilities who resides in any such facility if
7(1) a complaint is received by such agency from or on behalf of
8the person with a developmental disability, and (2) such
9person does not have a guardian or the State or the designee of
10the State is the guardian of such person. The designated
11agency shall provide written notice to the person with
12developmental disabilities and the State guardian of the
13nature of the complaint based upon which the designated agency
14has gained access to the records. No record or the contents of
15any record shall be redisclosed by the designated agency
16unless the person with developmental disabilities and the
17State guardian are provided 7 days' advance written notice,
18except in emergency situations, of the designated agency's
19intent to redisclose such record, during which time the person
20with developmental disabilities or the State guardian may seek
21to judicially enjoin the designated agency's redisclosure of
22such record on the grounds that such redisclosure is contrary
23to the interests of the person with developmental
24disabilities. If a person with developmental disabilities
25resides in such a facility and has a guardian other than the
26State or the designee of the State, the facility director

2number to the designated agency at the agency's request.
3    Upon request, the designated agency shall be entitled to
4inspect and copy any records or other materials which may
5further the agency's investigation of problems affecting
6numbers of persons with developmental disabilities. When
7required by law any personally identifiable information of
8persons with a developmental disability shall be removed from
9the records. However, the designated agency may not inspect or

11personally identifiable information imposes an unreasonable
12burden on the facility. For the purposes of this Section,

4that includes both intellectual and adaptive deficits in
5conceptual, social and practical domains. The following 3
6criteria must be met: (1) deficits in intellectual functions
7such as reasoning, problem solving, planning, abstract
8thinking, judgment, academic learning, and learning from
9experience confirmed by both clinical assessment and
10individualized, standardized intelligence testing (generally
11indicated with an IQ score of about 70 or below), (2) deficits
12in adaptive functioning that result in failure to meet
13developmental and sociocultural standards for personal
14independence and social responsibility. Without ongoing
15support, the adaptive deficits limit functioning in one or
16more activities of daily life, such as communication, social
17participation, and independent living, across multiple
18environments, such as home, school, work, and community, and
19(3) onset of intellectual and adaptive deficits during the

20        communication or physical activity will be greatly
21        delayed or restricted.
22        (4) A determination that the disability originated
23    before the age of 18 years.
24    A determination of severe and multiple impairments shall
25be based upon a comprehensive, documented assessment with an
26evaluation by a licensed clinical psychologist or

 

 

HB5196 Engrossed- 37 -LRB102 24844 RJT 34091 b

1psychiatrist.
2    If the examiner is a licensed clinical psychologist,
3ancillary evaluation of physical impairment, cerebral palsy or
