Provides that the Department shall use moneys deposited in the Long Term Care Monitor/Receiver Fund to pay the costs of implementing the Abuse Prevention Review Team Act that cannot be met by the use of federal civil monetary penalties. Repeals the provision that repeals the Abuse Prevention Review Team Act on July 1, 2006. Effective immediately.

Amends the Open Meetings Act and the Freedom of Information Act to change references to the Abuse Prevention Review Team Act. Further amends the Abuse Prevention Review Team Act.

Requires the Department of Public Health to include a report of the review teams' activities in its annual long-term care report to the General Assembly. Makes other changes.
