Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

210 ILCS 5/10d

(210 ILCS 5/10d) (from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 157-8.10d)

Sec. 10d. Fines and penalties.

(a)  When the Director determines that
a facility has failed to comply with this Act or the Illinois Adverse Health Care Events Reporting Law of 2005 or any rule adopted
under either of those Acts, the Department may issue a notice of fine assessment which shall
specify the violations for which the fine is assessed.  The Department may
assess a fine of up to $500 per violation per day commencing on the date
the violation was identified and ending on the date the violation is
corrected, or action is taken to suspend, revoke or deny renewal of the
license, whichever comes first.

(b) In determining whether a fine is to be assessed or the amount of such
fine, the Director shall consider the following factors:

(1) The gravity of the violation, including the

probability that death or serious physical or mental harm to a patient will result or has resulted, the severity of the actual or potential harm, and the extent to which the provisions of the applicable statutes or rules were violated;

(2) The reasonable diligence exercised by the

licensee and efforts to correct violations;

(3) Any previous violations committed by the

licensee; and

(4) The financial benefit to the facility of

committing or continuing the violation.
