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.

320 ILCS 10/11

(320 ILCS 10/11) (from Ch. 23, par. 6211)

Sec. 11.

Respite Care Worker Training.

(a) A respite care worker shall be an appropriately trained
individual whose duty it is to provide in-home supervision and assistance to a
frail adult or an adult with a disability in order to allow the
care-giver a break from his or her
continuous care-giving responsibilities.

(b) The Director may prescribe minimum training guidelines

for respite
care workers to ensure that the special needs of persons receiving services
under this Act and their caregivers will be met.  The Director may
designate Alzheimer's disease associations and community agencies to
conduct such training.  Nothing in this Act should be construed to exempt
any individual providing a service subject to licensure or certification
under State law from these requirements.
