Provides guidelines for the administration of the Program. Effective immediately.

Senate Committee Amendment No. 1
Refers to the 2007 State Health Improvement Plan (instead of the 2006 Plan), which calls for increased cultural competence with regard to sexual minorities (instead of "other minorities"), in addition to other specified minorities, in Illinois health care settings.

Makes other changes.

House Amendment No. 1
