Illinois Statutes Chapter 210. Health Facilities and Regulation § 135/9. Rules

§ 9. By July 1, 1989, the Department shall adopt rules pursuant to the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act  1 to establish minimum standards for licensing community-integrated living arrangements under this Act. These rules shall govern the operation and conduct of community-integrated living arrangements and shall provide for the license application process; agency standards and financial requirements; licensing, certification and license renewal procedures; revocation of licenses; notification to recipients of their rights and the ability to contact the Guardianship and Advocacy Commission; emergency actions which can be taken by the Department to protect recipients' rights, welfare, and safety; and any other rules deemed necessary to implement the provisions of this Act.

By December 31, 1996, the Department shall adopt rules under the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act that specify the components of reimbursement for community-integrated living arrangements and include costs as reported on the Interagency Statistical and Financial Report.

By December 31, 2011, the Department shall adopt rules under the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act that govern the assignment and operations of monitors and receiverships for community-integrated living arrangements wherein the Department has identified systemic risks to individuals served. The rules shall specify the criteria for determining the need for independent monitors and receivers, their conduct once established, and their reporting requirements to the Department. These monitors and receivers shall be independent entities appointed by the Department and not staff from State agencies. This paragraph does not limit, however, the Department's authority to take necessary action through its own or other State staff.
