| Public Act 100-0602 | ||||
| ||||
| ||||
AN ACT concerning regulation.
| ||||
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||
represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||
Section 5. The Community-Integrated Living Arrangements | ||||
Licensure and
Certification Act is amended by changing Section | ||||
10 as follows:
| ||||
(210 ILCS 135/10) (from Ch. 91 1/2, par. 1710)
| ||||
Sec. 10. Community integration State plan. | ||||
(a) Community-integrated living arrangements
shall be | ||||
located so as to enable residents to participate in and be
| ||||
integrated into their community or neighborhood. The location | ||||
of such
arrangements shall promote community integration of | ||||
persons with mental
disabilities. The Department shall adopt a | ||||
plan ("State plan") for the
distribution of community living | ||||
arrangements throughout the State,
considering the need for | ||||
such arrangements in the various locations in
which they are to | ||||
be used. Each agency licensed under this Act must define
the | ||||
process of obtaining community acceptance of community living
| ||||
arrangements. The State plan shall include guidelines | ||||
regarding the
location of community-integrated living | ||||
arrangements within the geographic
areas to be served by the | ||||
agencies, and the availability of support
services within those | ||||
areas for residents under such arrangements. The
Department | ||||
shall promulgate such guidelines as rules pursuant to the
| ||
Illinois Administrative Procedure Act.
| ||
The Department shall require any agency licensed under this | ||
Act to establish
procedures for assuring compliance with such | ||
criteria, including annual
review and comment by | ||
representatives of local governmental authorities,
community | ||
mental health and developmental disabilities planning and | ||
service
agencies, and other interested civil organizations, | ||
regarding the impact on
their community areas of any living | ||
arrangements, programs or services to
be certified by such | ||
agency. The Department shall give consideration to
the comments | ||
of such community representatives in determinations of
| ||
compliance with the State plan under this Section, and the | ||
Department may
modify, suspend or withhold funding of such | ||
programs and services subject
to this Act until such times as | ||
assurance is achieved.
| ||
(b) Beginning January 1, 1990, no Department of State | ||
government, as
defined in the Civil
Administrative Code of | ||
Illinois, shall place any person in or utilize any
services of | ||
a community-integrated living arrangement which is not
| ||
certified by an agency under this Act.
