HB5308eng 100TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY |
| | HB5308 Engrossed | | LRB100 18911 KTG 34156 b |
|
| 1 | | AN ACT concerning public aid.
| 2 | | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| 3 | | represented in the General Assembly:
| 4 | | Section 5. The Illinois Public Aid Code is amended by | 5 | | changing Section 5-4.1 as follows:
| 6 | | (305 ILCS 5/5-4.1) (from Ch. 23, par. 5-4.1)
| 7 | | Sec. 5-4.1. Co-payments. The Department may by rule provide | 8 | | that recipients
under any Article of this Code shall pay a fee | 9 | | as a co-payment for services.
Co-payments shall be maximized to | 10 | | the extent permitted by federal law, except that the Department | 11 | | shall impose a co-pay of $2 on generic drugs. Provided, | 12 | | however, that any such rule must provide that no
co-payment | 13 | | requirement can exist
for renal dialysis, radiation therapy, | 14 | | cancer chemotherapy, or insulin, and
other products necessary | 15 | | on a recurring basis, the absence of which would
be life | 16 | | threatening, or where co-payment expenditures for required | 17 | | services
and/or medications for chronic diseases that the | 18 | | Illinois Department shall
by rule designate shall cause an | 19 | | extensive financial burden on the
recipient, and provided no | 20 | | co-payment shall exist for emergency room
encounters which are | 21 | | for medical emergencies. The Department shall seek approval of | 22 | | a State plan amendment that allows pharmacies to refuse to | 23 | | dispense drugs in circumstances where the recipient does not |
| | | HB5308 Engrossed | - 2 - | LRB100 18911 KTG 34156 b |
|
| 1 | | pay the required co-payment. Co-payments may not exceed $10 for | 2 | | emergency room use for a non-emergency situation as defined by | 3 | | the Department by rule and subject to federal approval.
| 4 | | Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section or any | 5 | | other law, the Department shall not require any person | 6 | | incarcerated in a facility of the Department of Corrections who | 7 | | is eligible for medical assistance under this Article to pay a | 8 | | fee as a co-payment for services. | 9 | | (Source: P.A. 96-1501, eff. 1-25-11; 97-74, eff. 6-30-11; | 10 | | 97-689, eff. 6-14-12.)
| 11 | | Section 10. The Unified Code of Corrections is amended by | 12 | | changing Section 3-6-2 as follows: | 13 | | (730 ILCS 5/3-6-2) (from Ch. 38, par. 1003-6-2) | 14 | | Sec. 3-6-2. Institutions and Facility Administration.
| 15 | | (a) Each institution and facility of the Department shall | 16 | | be
administered by a chief administrative officer appointed by
| 17 | | the Director. A chief administrative officer shall be
| 18 | | responsible for all persons assigned to the institution or
| 19 | | facility. The chief administrative officer shall administer
| 20 | | the programs of the Department for the custody and treatment
of | 21 | | such persons.
| 22 | | (b) The chief administrative officer shall have such | 23 | | assistants
as the Department may assign.
| 24 | | (c) The Director or Assistant Director shall have the
|
| | | HB5308 Engrossed | - 3 - | LRB100 18911 KTG 34156 b |
|
| 1 | | emergency powers to temporarily transfer individuals without
| 2 | | formal procedures to any State, county, municipal or regional
| 3 | | correctional or detention institution or facility in the State,
| 4 | | subject to the acceptance of such receiving institution or
| 5 | | facility, or to designate any reasonably secure place in the
| 6 | | State as such an institution or facility and to make transfers
| 7 | | thereto. However, transfers made under emergency powers shall
| 8 | | be reviewed as soon as practicable under Article 8, and shall
| 9 | | be subject to Section 5-905 of the Juvenile Court Act of
1987. | 10 | | This Section shall not apply to transfers to the Department of
| 11 | | Human Services which are provided for under
Section 3-8-5 or | 12 | | Section 3-10-5.
| 13 | | (d) The Department shall provide educational programs for | 14 | | all
committed persons so that all persons have an opportunity | 15 | | to
attain the achievement level equivalent to the completion of
| 16 | | the twelfth grade in the public school system in this State.
| 17 | | Other higher levels of attainment shall be encouraged and
| 18 | | professional instruction shall be maintained wherever | 19 | | possible.
The Department may establish programs of mandatory | 20 | | education and may
establish rules and regulations for the | 21 | | administration of such programs.
A person committed to the | 22 | | Department who, during the period of his or her
incarceration, | 23 | | participates in an educational program provided by or through
| 24 | | the Department and through that program is awarded or earns the | 25 | | number of
hours of credit required for the award of an | 26 | | associate, baccalaureate, or
higher degree from a community |
| | | HB5308 Engrossed | - 4 - | LRB100 18911 KTG 34156 b |
|
| 1 | | college, college, or university located in
Illinois shall | 2 | | reimburse the State, through the Department, for the costs
| 3 | | incurred by the State in providing that person during his or | 4 | | her incarceration
with the education that qualifies him or her | 5 | | for the award of that degree. The
costs for which reimbursement | 6 | | is required under this subsection shall be
determined and | 7 | | computed by the Department under rules and regulations that
it | 8 | | shall establish for that purpose. However, interest at the rate | 9 | | of 6%
per annum shall be charged on the balance of those costs | 10 | | from time to time
remaining unpaid, from the date of the | 11 | | person's parole, mandatory supervised
release, or release | 12 | | constituting a final termination of his or her commitment
to | 13 | | the Department until paid.
| 14 | | (d-5) A person committed to the Department is entitled to | 15 | | confidential testing for infection with human immunodeficiency | 16 | | virus (HIV) and to counseling in connection with such testing, | 17 | | with no copay to the committed person. A person committed to | 18 | | the Department who has tested positive for infection with HIV | 19 | | is entitled to medical care while incarcerated, counseling, and | 20 | | referrals to support services, in connection with that positive | 21 | | test result. Implementation of this subsection (d-5) is subject | 22 | | to appropriation.
| 23 | | (e) A person committed to the Department who becomes in | 24 | | need
of medical or surgical treatment but is incapable of | 25 | | giving
consent thereto shall receive such medical or surgical | 26 | | treatment
by the chief administrative officer consenting on the |
| | | HB5308 Engrossed | - 5 - | LRB100 18911 KTG 34156 b |
|
| 1 | | person's behalf.
Before the chief administrative officer | 2 | | consents, he or she shall
obtain the advice of one or more | 3 | | physicians licensed to practice medicine
in all its branches in | 4 | | this State. If such physician or physicians advise:
| 5 | | (1) that immediate medical or surgical treatment is | 6 | | required
relative to a condition threatening to cause | 7 | | death, damage or
impairment to bodily functions, or | 8 | | disfigurement; and
| 9 | | (2) that the person is not capable of giving consent to | 10 | | such treatment;
the chief administrative officer may give | 11 | | consent for such
medical or surgical treatment, and such | 12 | | consent shall be
deemed to be the consent of the person for | 13 | | all purposes,
including, but not limited to, the authority | 14 | | of a physician
to give such treatment. | 15 | | (e-5) If a physician providing medical care to a committed | 16 | | person on behalf of the Department advises the chief | 17 | | administrative officer that the committed person's mental or | 18 | | physical health has deteriorated as a result of the cessation | 19 | | of ingestion of food or liquid to the point where medical or | 20 | | surgical treatment is required to prevent death, damage, or | 21 | | impairment to bodily functions, the chief administrative | 22 | | officer may authorize such medical or surgical treatment.
| 23 | | (f) In the event that the person requires medical care and
| 24 | | treatment at a place other than the institution or facility,
| 25 | | the person may be removed therefrom under conditions prescribed
| 26 | | by the Department.
The Department shall not require any |
| | | HB5308 Engrossed | - 6 - | LRB100 18911 KTG 34156 b |
|
| 1 | | committed person receiving medical or dental
treatment or | 2 | | services to pay a fee as a co-payment for such treatment or | 3 | | services. The Department shall require the committed person | 4 | | receiving medical or dental
services on a non-emergency basis | 5 | | to pay a $5 co-payment to the Department for
each visit for | 6 | | medical or dental services. The amount of each co-payment shall | 7 | | be deducted from the
committed person's individual account.
A | 8 | | committed person who has a chronic illness, as defined by | 9 | | Department rules
and regulations, shall be exempt from the $5 | 10 | | co-payment for treatment of the
chronic illness. A committed | 11 | | person shall not be subject to a $5 co-payment
for follow-up | 12 | | visits ordered by a physician, who is employed by, or contracts
| 13 | | with, the Department. A committed person who is indigent is | 14 | | exempt from the
$5 co-payment
and is entitled to receive | 15 | | medical or dental services on the same basis as a
committed | 16 | | person who is financially able to afford the co-payment.
For | 17 | | purposes of this Section only, "indigent" means a committed | 18 | | person who has $20 or less in his or her Inmate Trust Fund at | 19 | | the time of such services and for the 30 days prior to such | 20 | | services. Notwithstanding any other provision in this | 21 | | subsection (f) to the contrary,
any person committed to any | 22 | | facility operated by the Department of Juvenile Justice, as set
| 23 | | forth in Section 3-2.5-15 of this Code, is exempt from the
| 24 | | co-payment requirement for the duration of confinement in those | 25 | | facilities.
| 26 | | (g) Any person having sole custody of a child at
the time |
| | | HB5308 Engrossed | - 7 - | LRB100 18911 KTG 34156 b |
|
| 1 | | of commitment or any woman giving birth to a child after
her | 2 | | commitment, may arrange through the Department of Children
and | 3 | | Family Services for suitable placement of the child outside
of | 4 | | the Department of Corrections. The Director of the Department
| 5 | | of Corrections may determine that there are special reasons why
| 6 | | the child should continue in the custody of the mother until | 7 | | the
child is 6 years old.
| 8 | | (h) The Department may provide Family Responsibility | 9 | | Services which
may consist of, but not be limited to the | 10 | | following:
| 11 | | (1) family advocacy counseling;
| 12 | | (2) parent self-help group;
| 13 | | (3) parenting skills training;
| 14 | | (4) parent and child overnight program;
| 15 | | (5) parent and child reunification counseling, either | 16 | | separately or
together, preceding the inmate's release; | 17 | | and
| 18 | | (6) a prerelease reunification staffing involving the | 19 | | family advocate,
the inmate and the child's counselor, or | 20 | | both and the inmate.
| 21 | | (i) (Blank).
| 22 | | (j) Any person convicted of a sex offense as defined in the | 23 | | Sex Offender
Management Board Act shall be required to receive | 24 | | a sex offender evaluation
prior to release into the community | 25 | | from the Department of Corrections. The
sex offender evaluation | 26 | | shall be conducted in conformance with the standards
and |
| | | HB5308 Engrossed | - 8 - | LRB100 18911 KTG 34156 b |
|
| 1 | | guidelines developed under
the Sex Offender Management Board | 2 | | Act and by an evaluator approved by the
Board.
| 3 | | (k) Any minor committed to the Department of Juvenile | 4 | | Justice
for a sex offense as defined by the Sex Offender | 5 | | Management Board Act shall be
required to undergo sex offender | 6 | | treatment by a treatment provider approved by
the Board and | 7 | | conducted in conformance with the Sex Offender Management Board
| 8 | | Act.
| 9 | | (l) Prior to the release of any inmate committed to a | 10 | | facility of the Department or the Department of Juvenile | 11 | | Justice, the Department must provide the inmate with | 12 | | appropriate information verbally, in writing, by video, or | 13 | | other electronic means, concerning HIV and AIDS. The Department | 14 | | shall develop the informational materials in consultation with | 15 | | the Department of Public Health. At the same time, the | 16 | | Department must also offer the committed person the option of | 17 | | testing for infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), | 18 | | with no copayment for the test. Pre-test information shall be | 19 | | provided to the committed person and informed consent obtained | 20 | | as required in subsection (d) of Section 3 and Section 5 of the | 21 | | AIDS Confidentiality Act. The Department may conduct opt-out | 22 | | HIV testing as defined in Section 4 of the AIDS Confidentiality | 23 | | Act. If the Department conducts opt-out HIV testing, the | 24 | | Department shall place signs in English, Spanish and other | 25 | | languages as needed in multiple, highly visible locations in | 26 | | the area where HIV testing is conducted informing inmates that |
| | | HB5308 Engrossed | - 9 - | LRB100 18911 KTG 34156 b |
|
| 1 | | they will be tested for HIV unless they refuse, and refusal or | 2 | | acceptance of testing shall be documented in the inmate's | 3 | | medical record. The Department shall follow procedures | 4 | | established by the Department of Public Health to conduct HIV | 5 | | testing and testing to confirm positive HIV test results. All | 6 | | testing must be conducted by medical personnel, but pre-test | 7 | | and other information may be provided by committed persons who | 8 | | have received appropriate training. The Department, in | 9 | | conjunction with the Department of Public Health, shall develop | 10 | | a plan that complies with the AIDS Confidentiality Act to | 11 | | deliver confidentially all positive or negative HIV test | 12 | | results to inmates or former inmates. Nothing in this Section | 13 | | shall require the Department to offer HIV testing to an inmate | 14 | | who is known to be infected with HIV, or who has been tested | 15 | | for HIV within the previous 180 days and whose documented HIV | 16 | | test result is available to the Department electronically. The
| 17 | | testing provided under this subsection (l) shall consist of a | 18 | | test approved by the Illinois Department of Public Health to | 19 | | determine the presence of HIV infection, based upon | 20 | | recommendations of the United States Centers for Disease | 21 | | Control and Prevention. If the test result is positive, a | 22 | | reliable supplemental test based upon recommendations of the | 23 | | United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shall | 24 | | be
administered.
| 25 | | Prior to the release of an inmate who the Department knows | 26 | | has tested positive for infection with HIV, the Department in a |
| | | HB5308 Engrossed | - 10 - | LRB100 18911 KTG 34156 b |
|
| 1 | | timely manner shall offer the inmate transitional case | 2 | | management, including referrals to other support services.
| 3 | | (m) The chief administrative officer of each institution or | 4 | | facility of the Department shall make a room in the institution | 5 | | or facility available for addiction recovery services to be | 6 | | provided to committed persons on a voluntary basis. The | 7 | | services shall be provided for one hour once a week at a time | 8 | | specified by the chief administrative officer of the | 9 | | institution or facility if the following conditions are met: | 10 | | (1) the addiction recovery service contacts the chief | 11 | | administrative officer to arrange the meeting; | 12 | | (2) the committed person may attend the meeting for | 13 | | addiction recovery services only if the committed person | 14 | | uses pre-existing free time already available to the | 15 | | committed person; | 16 | | (3) all disciplinary and other rules of the institution | 17 | | or facility remain in effect; | 18 | | (4) the committed person is not given any additional | 19 | | privileges to attend addiction recovery services; | 20 | | (5) if the addiction recovery service does not arrange | 21 | | for scheduling a meeting for that week, no addiction | 22 | | recovery services shall be provided to the committed person | 23 | | in the institution or facility for that week; | 24 | | (6) the number of committed persons who may attend an | 25 | | addiction recovery meeting shall not exceed 40 during any | 26 | | session held at the correctional institution or facility; |
| | | HB5308 Engrossed | - 11 - | LRB100 18911 KTG 34156 b |
|
| 1 | | (7) a volunteer seeking to provide addiction recovery | 2 | | services under this subsection (m) must submit an | 3 | | application to the Department of Corrections under | 4 | | existing Department rules and the Department must review | 5 | | the application within 60 days after submission of the | 6 | | application to the Department; and | 7 | | (8) each institution and facility of the Department | 8 | | shall manage the addiction recovery services program | 9 | | according to its own processes and procedures. | 10 | | For the purposes of this subsection (m), "addiction | 11 | | recovery services" means recovery services for alcoholics and | 12 | | addicts provided by volunteers of recovery support services | 13 | | recognized by the Department of Human Services. | 14 | | (Source: P.A. 96-284, eff. 1-1-10; 97-244, eff. 8-4-11; 97-323, | 15 | | eff. 8-12-11; 97-562, eff. 1-1-12; 97-802, eff. 7-13-12; | 16 | | 97-813, eff. 7-13-12.)
