    AN ACT concerning regulation.
 
    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
 
    Section 5. The Assisted Living and Shared Housing Act is
amended by adding Section 21 as follows:
 
    (210 ILCS 9/21 new)
    Sec. 21. Establishment plan review; fees.
    (a) Before commencing construction of new assisted living
or shared housing establishments or alterations or additions
to an existing assisted living or shared housing establishment
involving major construction, as defined by rule by the
Department, an applicant under this Section shall submit
architectural drawings and specifications to the Department
for review and approval. An applicant under this Section shall
submit architectural drawings and specifications for other
construction projects for Department review according to
subsection (b) that shall not be subject to fees under
subsection (d). Review of drawings and specifications shall be
conducted by an employee of the Department meeting the
qualifications established by the Department of Central
Management Services class specifications for the individual's
position. Final approval of the drawings and specifications
for compliance with design and construction standards shall be
obtained from the Department before the proposed alteration,
addition, or new construction begins. The Department shall
adopt rules for determining whether a construction,
alteration, or addition is subject to the submission
requirements of this Section. The Department shall not review
a submission under this Section until the required fee, if
any, has been paid.
    (b) The Department shall inform an applicant in writing
within 10 working days after receiving drawings,
specifications, and the required fee, if any, from the
applicant whether the applicant's submission is complete or
incomplete. Failure to provide the applicant with this notice
within 10 working days shall result in the submission being
deemed complete for purposes of initiating the 45 calendar day
review period under this Section. If the submission is
incomplete, the Department shall inform the applicant of the
deficiencies with the submission in writing. If the submission
is complete and the required fee, if any, has been paid, the
Department shall approve or disapprove drawings and
specifications submitted to the Department no later than 45
calendar days following receipt by the Department. The
drawings and specifications shall be of sufficient detail, as
provided by Department rule, to enable the Department to
render a determination of compliance with design and
construction standards under this Act. If the Department finds
that the drawings are not of sufficient detail for it to render
a determination of compliance, the plans shall be determined
to be incomplete and shall not be considered for purposes of
initiating the 45 calendar day review period. If a submission
of drawings and specifications is incomplete, the applicant
may submit additional information. The 45 calendar day review
period shall not commence until the Department determines that
a submission of drawings and specifications is complete or the
submission is deemed complete. If the Department has not
approved or disapproved the drawings and specifications within
45 calendar days, the construction, major alteration, or
addition shall be deemed approved. If the drawings and
specifications are disapproved, the Department shall state in
writing, with specificity, the reasons for the disapproval.
The entity submitting the drawings and specifications may
submit additional information in response to the written
comments from the Department or request a reconsideration of
the disapproval. A final decision of approval or disapproval
shall be made within 30 calendar days of the receipt of the
additional information or reconsideration request. If denied,
the Department shall state the specific reasons for the
denial.
    (c) The Department shall provide written approval for
occupancy pursuant to subsection (g).
    (d) The Department shall charge the following fees in
connection with its reviews conducted after the effective date
of this amendatory Act of the 103rd General Assembly under
this Section:
        (1) If the estimated dollar value of the alteration,
    addition, or new construction is $99,999.99 or less, no
    fee is required.
        (2) If the estimated dollar value of the alteration,
    addition, or new construction is $100,000 or more but less
    than $500,000, the fee shall be the greater of $2,400 or
    1.2% of the estimated dollar value of the alteration,
    addition, or new construction.
        (3) If the estimated dollar value of the alteration,
    addition, or new construction is $500,000 or more but less
    than $1,000,000, the fee shall be the greater of $6,0000
    or 0.96% of that value.
        (4) If the estimated dollar value of the alteration,
    addition, or new construction is $1,000,000 or more but
    less than $5,000,000, the fee shall be the greater of
    $9,600 or 0.22% of the estimated dollar value of the
    alteration, addition, or new construction.
        (5) If the estimated dollar value of the alteration,
    addition, or new construction is $5,000,000 or more, the
    fee shall be the greater of $11,000 or 0.11% of the
    estimated dollar value of the alteration, addition, or new
    construction, but shall not exceed $30,000.
    The fees provided in this subsection (d) shall not apply
to major construction projects involving establishment changes
that are required by an amendment to a Department rule.
    The Department shall not commence the establishment plan
review process under this Section until the applicable fee has
been paid.
    (e) All fees received by the Department under this Section
shall be deposited into the Health Facility Plan Review Fund,
a special fund created in the State Treasury. All fees paid by
establishments under this Section shall be used only to cover
the costs relating to the Department's review of projects
listed in this Section. Moneys shall be appropriated from that
Fund to the Department only to pay the costs of conducting
reviews under this Section, under Section 3-202.5 of the
Nursing Home Care Act, Section 3-202.5 of the MC/DD Act, or
Section 3-202.5 of the ID/DD Community Care Act. None of the
moneys in the Health Facility Plan Review Fund shall be used to
reduce the amount of General Revenue Fund moneys appropriated
to the Department for plan reviews conducted pursuant to this
Section.
    (f) The Department shall review the fee structure 3 years
after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 103rd
General Assembly and every 5 years thereafter, and fees shall
be increased or decreased to maintain the plan review program.
    (g) The Department shall conduct an on-site inspection of
the completed project no later than 30 working days after
notification from the applicant under this Section that the
project has been completed and all certifications required by
the Department have been received and accepted by the
Department. The Department shall provide written approval for
occupancy to the applicant within 10 working days of the
Department's final inspection, provided the applicant has
demonstrated substantial compliance as defined by Department
rule. Occupancy of new major construction is prohibited until
Department approval is received, unless the Department has not
acted within the time frames provided in this subsection (g),
in which case the construction shall be deemed approved.
Occupancy shall be authorized after any required health
inspection by the Department has been conducted.
    (h) The Department shall establish, by rule, a procedure
to conduct voluntary interim on-site review of large or
complex construction projects for a fee of $3,000 per interim
on-site review.

process for emergency repairs or replacement of like
equipment.
    The establishment shall not be occupied until the
Department provides written approval for occupancy to the
owner or operator within 10 business days after the
Department's final inspection, provided that the owner or
operator has substantially complied with this Section as
determined by the Department by rule.
    (j) Nothing in this Section shall be construed to apply to
maintenance, upkeep, or renovation that does not affect the
structural integrity of the building, does not add units or
services over the number for which the establishment is
licensed, and provides a reasonable degree of safety for the
residents.

the Department no later than 60 days following receipt by the
Department. The drawings and specifications shall be of
sufficient detail, as provided by Department rule, to enable
