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 49/4-102)

Sec. 4-102. Necessity of license.

No person may establish, operate, maintain, offer, or advertise a facility within this State unless and until he or she obtains a valid license therefor as hereinafter provided, which license remains unsuspended, unrevoked, and unexpired.  No public official or employee may place any person in, or recommend that any person be in, or directly or indirectly cause any person to be placed in any facility that is being operated without a valid license.  All licenses and licensing procedures established under Article III of the Nursing Home Care Act, except those contained in Section 3-202,  shall be deemed valid under this Act until the Department establishes licensure.  The Department is granted the authority under this Act to establish provisional licensure and licensing procedures under this Act by emergency rule and shall do so within 120 days of the effective date of this Act. The Department shall not grant a provisional license to any facility that does not possess a provisional license on November 30, 2018 and is licensed under the Nursing Home Care Act on or before November 30, 2018.  The Department shall not grant a license to any facility that has not first received a provisional license.  The changes made by this amendatory Act of the 100th General Assembly do not apply to the provisions of subsection (c) of Section 1-101.5 concerning facility closure and relocation.
