Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Disabilities Services Act of 2003, the Illinois Council on Developmental Disabilities Law, the School Code, the Nursing Home Care Act, the Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities Code, the Specialized Living Centers Act, the Protection and Advocacy for Developmentally Disabled Persons Act, the Developmental Disability Prevention Act, the Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities Confidentiality Act, and the Probate Act of 1975. Changes the definition of "developmental disability" throughout the statutes to provide that the term means a severe, chronic disability of an individual that: (i) is attributable to a mental or physical impairment or combination of mental and physical impairments; (ii) is manifested before the individual attains age 22; (iii) is likely to continue indefinitely; (iv) results in substantial functional limitations in 3 or more specified areas of major life activity; and (v) reflects the individual's need for a combination and sequence of special, interdisciplinary, or generic services, individualized supports, or other forms of assistance that are of lifelong or extended duration and are individually planned and coordinated. Contains a provision for infants and young children.

Provides that beginning on July 1, 2007, all Home and Community Based Services Waivers for persons with Developmental Disabilities must define "developmental disability" as: a severe, chronic disability of an individual that: (1) is attributable to mental or physical impairment or combination of mental and physical impairments; (2) is manifested before the individual attains the age of 22; (3) is likely to continue indefinitely; (4) results in substantial functional limitations in 3 or more of the following areas of major life activity: (A) self-care; (B) receptive and expressive language; (C) learning; (D) mobility; (E) self-direction; (F) capacity for independent living; and (G) economic self-sufficiency; and (5) reflects the individual's need for a combination and sequence of special, interdisciplinary, or generic services, individualized supports, or other forms of assistance that are of lifelong or extended duration and are individually planned and coordinated. Provides that an individual from birth to age 9, inclusive, who has a substantial developmental delay or specific congenital or acquired condition may be considered to have a developmental disability without meeting 3 or more of these criteria if the individual, without services and supports, has a high probability of meeting those criteria later in life.
