    Section 15. The Community Services Act is amended by
changing Section 4.6 as follows:
 
    (405 ILCS 30/4.6)
    Sec. 4.6. Closure and sale of State mental health or
developmental disabilities facility.
    (a) Whenever a State mental health facility operated by the
Department of Human Services is closed and the real estate on
which the facility is located is sold by the State, then, to
the extent that net proceeds are realized from the sale of that
real estate, those net proceeds must be used for mental health
services or to support mental health services directed toward
providing other services and supports for persons with mental
health needs. To that end, those net proceeds shall be
deposited into the Community Mental Health Medicaid Trust Fund.
The net proceeds from the sale of a State mental health
facility may be spent over a number of fiscal years and are not
required to be spent in the same fiscal year in which they are
deposited.
    (b) Whenever a State developmental disabilities facility
operated by the Department of Human Services is closed and the
real estate on which the facility is located is sold by the
State, then, to the extent that net proceeds are realized from
the sale of that real estate, those net proceeds must be
directed toward providing other services and supports for
persons with developmental disabilities needs. To that end,
those net proceeds shall be deposited into the Community
Developmental Disability Services Medicaid Trust Fund. The net
proceeds from the sale of a State developmental disabilities
facility may be spent over a number of fiscal years and are not
required to be spent in the same fiscal year in which they are
deposited.
    (c) The sale of a State mental health or developmental
disabilities facility shall be done in accordance with
applicable State laws and, if a State mental health or
developmental disabilities facility to be sold has been
financed or refinanced with tax-exempt bonds, applicable
federal laws. In determining whether any net proceeds are
realized from a sale of real estate described in subsection (a)
or (b), the Division of Developmental Disabilities and the
Division of Mental Health of the Department of Human Services
shall each first determine the money, if any, that shall be
made available for infrastructure not to exceed 25% of the
proceeds of the sale of the real estate to ensure that life,
safety, and care concerns, including infrastructure, are
addressed so as to provide for persons with developmental
disabilities or mental illness at the remaining respective
State-operated facilities that will be expected to serve the
individuals previously served at the closed facility. That
amount shall be excluded from the calculation of net proceeds
by the Division of Developmental Disabilities or the Division
of Mental Health, or both, of the Department of Human Services.
Amounts determined by the Department for infrastructure to be
necessary to ensure that life, safety, and care concerns are
addressed shall be deposited, respectively, into the Community
Mental Health Medicaid Trust Fund or the Community
Developmental Disability Services Medicaid Trust Fund.
    (c-1) To the extent that a State mental health facility
which has been closed served a geographical area, at minimum,
40% of the resulting net proceeds of its sale shall be made
exclusively in the facility's geographical area. If any other
State-operated mental health facility which served a specific
geographic area was closed within one year before or after the
closure of the facility whose sale has resulted in net proceeds
under this Section, 20% of the proceeds shall be used to
provide services in the geographic area of this facility. The
remainder of the net proceeds may be spent anywhere in the
State. All net proceeds may be used for the following mental
health services and supports, to include, but not limited to:
        (1) Permanent Supportive housing.
        (2) Technology that enables behavioral health
    providers to participate in health information exchanges.
        (3) Assertive Community Treatment and Community
    Support Team.
        (4) Transitional living apartments.
        (5) Crisis residential services targeted at diverting
    persons with mental illnesses from emergency departments
    (including peer run crisis services).
        (6) Psychiatric services.
        (7) Community mental health services targeted at
    diverting persons with mental illness from the criminal
    justice system.
        (8) Individual Placement and Support and other
    services to support employment.
        (9) Alcohol and substance abuse treatment.
    (d) The purposes for which the net proceeds from a sale of
real estate as provided in subsection (b) of this Section may
be used include, but are not limited to, the following:
        (1) Providing individuals with developmental
    disabilities community–based Medicaid services and
    supports such as residential habilitation, day programs,
    supported employment, home-based supports, therapies,
    adaptive equipment, and home modifications.
        (2) Assisting individuals with developmental
    disabilities through case management, service
    coordination, and assessments.
        (3) Strengthening the service delivery system through
    crisis intervention services.
        (4) Enhancing the service delivery system through
    infrastructure improvements, including technology
    improvements.
        (1) Providing for individuals with developmental
    disabilities and mental health needs the services and
    supports described in subsection (e) of Section 4.4.
        (2) In the case of the closure of a mental health
    facility, the construction of a new facility to serve the
    needs of persons with mental health needs.
        (3) In the case of the closure of a developmental
    disabilities facility, construction of a new facility to
    serve the needs of persons with developmental disabilities
    needs.
    (e) Whenever any net proceeds are realized from a sale of
real estate as provided in this Section, the Department of
Human Services shall share and discuss its plan or plans for
using those net proceeds with advocates, advocacy
organizations, and advisory groups whose mission includes
advocacy for persons with developmental disabilities or
persons with mental illness.
    (f) Consistent with the provisions of Sections 4.4 and 4.5
of this Act, whenever a State mental health facility operated
by the Department of Human Services is closed, the Department
of Human Services, at the direction of the Governor, shall
transfer funds from the closed facility to the appropriate line
item providing appropriation authority for the new venue of
care to facilitate the transition of services to the new venue
of care, provided that the new venue of care is a Department of
Human Services funded provider or facility.
    (g) As used in this Section, the term "mental health
facility" has the meaning ascribed to that term in the Mental
Health and Developmental Disabilities Code.
