(210 ILCS 5/14) (from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 157-8.14)
Sec. 14.
The Governor shall appoint an Ambulatory Surgical Treatment Center
Licensing Board composed of 12 persons. Four members shall be practicing
physicians; one member shall be a practicing podiatric physician;
one member shall be a dentist who has been licensed to perform
oral surgery; one member shall be an Illinois registered professional nurse
who is employed in an ambulatory surgical treatment center; one member
shall be a person actively engaged in the supervision or administration of
a health facility; and 4 members shall represent the general public and
shall have no personal economic interest in any institution, place or
building licensed pursuant to this Act. In making Board appointments, the
Governor shall give consideration to recommendations made through the
Director by appropriate professional organizations.
Each member shall hold office for a term of 3 years and the terms of
office of the members first taking office shall expire, as designated at
the time of appointment, 3 at the end of the first year, 3 at the end of
the second year, and 6 at the end of the third year, after the date of
appointment. The term of office of each original appointee shall commence
October 1, 1973; and the term of office of each successor shall commence on
October 1 of the year in which his predecessor's term expires. Any member
appointed to fill a vacancy occurring prior to the expiration of the term
for which his predecessor was appointed shall be appointed for the
remainder of such term. Board members, while serving on business of the
Board shall receive actual and necessary travel and subsistence expenses
while so serving away from their places of residence. The Board shall meet
as frequently as the Director deems necessary, but not less than once a
year. Upon request of 3 or more members, the Director shall call a meeting
of the Board.
The Board shall advise and consult with the Department in the
administration of this Act, provided that no rule
shall be adopted by the Department concerning the operation of ambulatory
surgical treatment centers licensed under this Act which has not had prior
approval of the Ambulatory Surgical Treatment Center Licensing Board.
The Department shall submit a final draft of all rules to the Board for
review and approval. The final draft rules shall be placed upon the agenda
of a scheduled Board meeting which shall be called within 90 days of the
submission of such rules. If the Board takes no action on the final draft
rules within the 90-day period, the rules shall be considered approved and
the Department may proceed with their promulgation in conformance with the
Illinois Administrative Procedure Act. If the final draft rules are
approved by virtue of the Board's failure to act, the Department shall
afford any member of the Board 10 days within which to comment upon such
rules. In the event of a rule promulgation without approval of the Board,
the Department shall allow the Board an ex post facto opportunity to
discuss such rule following its adoption.
