Illinois General Assembly - Bill Status for SB 1911

Deletes everything after the enacting clause. Amends the Illinois Domestic Violence Act of 1986. Removes the definitions of "adult with disabilities" and "elder adult with disabilities". In the definition of "high-risk adult with disabilities", includes a person whose advanced age impairs his or her ability to seek or obtain protections from abuse, neglect, or exploitation. Provides that a person may be a high-risk adult with disabilities for purposes of the Act even though he or she has never been adjudicated an incompetent adult. Provides that no court proceedings may be initiated or continued on behalf of a high-risk adult with disabilities over that adult's objection, unless the proceeding is approved by his or her legal guardian, if any. Provides that, in cases where a legal guardian of the high-risk adult with disabilities objects to court proceedings on behalf of the adult and the guardian is alleged or substantiated to have abused, neglected, or exploited the adult, the court shall consider such allegations or substantiation in determining whether court proceedings under the Act should be initiated or continued. Effective immediately.

Provides that a copy of a bill for services rendered that has redacted any payments or benefits conferred under the listed subsection and that is certified by a person who maintains those bills is entitled to a rebuttable presumption as to the amount and reasonableness of the bill. Provides that a party who attempts to rebut the presumption of reasonableness of a bill shall not be allowed to present evidence of payments made to or benefits conferred upon the plaintiff from a third party as described in the listed subsection. Provides that these procedures concerning a bill for services apply to actions commenced or pending on or after the effective date.
