Illinois General Assembly - Bill Status for SB 3179

Amends the Department of Human Services Act. Adds additional duties for the Inspector General for the Department of Human Services. Defines "substantiated" to mean that there is clear and convincing evidence (rather than a preponderance) to support the allegation of abuse, neglect, or financial exploitation. Amends the Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities Administrative Act. Defines "nurse-training". Changes the criteria for non-licensed authorized direct care staff. Provides that within one year after the bill's effective date, the Department shall prepare a report that identifies any efficiencies or improvements in Department operations, the oversight of agencies, and the reduction or elimination of duplicative activities. The report shall include a quality assessment of the feasibility of combining the functions of the Division of Developmental Disabilities' Bureau of Quality Management and the Department's Bureau of Accreditation, Licensure, and Certification. Upon the report's completion, the Department shall post the report on the Department's website and submit it to the General Assembly and Governor. Amends the Community-Integrated Living Arrangements Licensure and Certification Act. Provides that using contemporary data gathered on reports of allegations of abuse, neglect, and financial exploitation, the Department shall establish a process by which the Department requires responses from agencies that annually report a number of allegations that are 2 or more standard deviations from the mean for all agencies. Provides that if an agency has documented evidence and has determined that the agency cannot adequately staff a community-integrated living arrangement, then the agency may take immediate steps to close the community-integrated living arrangement. Effective immediately.

Provides that the Inspector General of the Department of Human Services shall provide that Department investigators receive ongoing training in appropriate means of interacting with persons receiving treatment for mental illness, developmental disability, or both mental illness and developmental disability in all settings, and community models of providing long-term services and supports for persons receiving treatment for mental illness, developmental disability, or both serious mental illness and developmental disability (rather than community models of providing long-term services and supports for persons with intellectual or developmental disabilities and serious mental illnesses, and the appropriate means of interacting with persons with intellectual disabilities, developmental disabilities, or mental illnesses who are receiving services in a community setting).

Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Amends the Department of Human Services Act. Provides that the Inspector General of the Department of Human Services shall further ensure (1) every person authorized to conduct investigations at community agencies receives ongoing training in investigations of alleged abuse or neglect in state-operated facilities and community agencies and (2) every person authorized to conduct investigations shall receive ongoing training in standards and licensure requirements for community-integrated living arrangements and minimum standards for certification of developmental training programs. Effective immediately.
