Current as of January 01, 2025 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

§ 75-10. Illinois Nursing Workforce Center. The purpose of the Illinois Nursing Workforce Center to address issues of supply and demand in the nursing profession, including issues of recruitment, retention, and utilization of nurse manpower resources. The General Assembly finds that the Center will enhance the access to and delivery of quality health care services by providing an ongoing strategy for the allocation of the State's resources directed towards nursing. Each of the following objectives shall serve as the primary goals for the Center:

(1) To develop a strategic plan for nursing workforce in the State by selecting priorities to be addressed, including:

(A) For license renewals beginning in 2024 and each renewal thereafter, to develop and require all licensed nurses, including licensed practical nurses, registered nurses, and advanced practice registered nurses, respond to the Center's nursing workforce supply survey. Applicants shall respond to the Center's nursing workforce supply survey in conjunction with license renewal. However, license renewal shall not be contingent upon responding to the Center's nursing workforce supply survey and failure to respond to the Center's nursing workforce supply survey shall not result in encumbrance of the applicant's license. The survey shall use the National Forum of State Nursing Workforce Centers Minimum Nurse Supply Dataset. The Center shall compile, process, and evaluate the survey findings and report to the Governor, the President of the Senate, and the Speaker of the House of Representatives with recommendations.

As used in this subsection, “nursing workforce supply survey” means the nursing workforce supply survey conducted biennially by the Center that asks nurses to provide information about their demographics, specialty, setting of work, and other information necessary to inform the State on the status and characteristics of the State's nursing workforce.

(B) No later than 2027, to develop a nurse demand and employer survey to be collected biennially. The survey shall use the National Forum of State Nursing Workforce Centers Minimum Nurse Demand Dataset. The Center shall compile, process, and evaluate the survey findings and report to the Governor, the President of the Senate, and the Speaker of the House of Representatives with recommendations.

(2) To convene various groups of representatives of nurses, other health care providers, businesses and industries, consumers, legislators, and educators to:

(A) review and comment on data analysis prepared by the Center; and

(B) recommend systemic changes, including strategies for implementation of recommended changes.

(3) To enhance and promote recognition, reward, and renewal activities for nurses in the State by:

(A) proposing and creating reward, recognition, and renewal activities for nursing; and

(B) promoting positive media and image-building efforts for nursing.
