(20 ILCS 3960/5) (from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 1155)

(Section scheduled to be repealed on December 31, 2019)

Sec. 5. Construction, modification, or establishment of health care facilities or acquisition of major medical equipment; permits or exemptions. No person shall construct, modify or establish a health care facility or acquire major medical equipment without first obtaining a permit or exemption from the State Board. The State Board shall not delegate to the staff of the State Board or any other person or entity the authority to grant permits or exemptions whenever the staff or other person or entity would be required to exercise any discretion affecting the decision to grant a permit or exemption. The State Board may, by rule, delegate authority to the Chairman to grant permits or exemptions when applications meet all of the State Board's review criteria and are unopposed.

A permit or exemption shall be obtained prior to the acquisition of major medical equipment or to the construction or modification of a health care facility which:

(a) requires a total capital expenditure in excess of the capital expenditure minimum; or

(b) substantially changes the scope or changes the functional operation of the facility; or

(c) changes the bed capacity of a health care facility by increasing the total number of beds or by distributing beds among various categories of service or by relocating beds from one physical facility or site to another by more than 20 beds or more than 10% of total bed capacity as defined by the State Board, whichever is less, over a 2 year period.

A permit shall be valid only for the defined construction or modifications, site, amount and person named in the application for such permit and shall not be transferable or assignable. A permit shall be valid until such time as the project has been completed, provided that (a) obligation of the project occurs within 12 months following issuance of the permit except for major construction projects such obligation must occur within 18 months following issuance of the permit; and (b) the project commences and proceeds to completion with due diligence by the completion date or extension date approved by the Board.

A permit holder must do the following: (i) submit the final completion and cost report for the project within 90 days after the approved project completion date or extension date and (ii) submit annual progress reports no earlier than 30 days before and no later than 30 days after each anniversary date of the Board's approval of the permit until the project is completed. To monitor progress toward project commencement and completion, routine post-permit reports shall be limited to annual progress reports and the final completion and cost report.

The Certificate of Need process required under this Act is designed to restrain rising health care costs by preventing unnecessary construction or modification of health care facilities. The Board must assure that the establishment, construction, or modification of a health care facility or the acquisition of major medical equipment is consistent with the public interest and that the proposed project is consistent with the orderly and economic development or acquisition of those facilities and equipment and is in accord with the standards, criteria, or plans of need adopted and approved by the Board. Board decisions regarding the construction of health care facilities must consider capacity, quality, value, and equity. Projects may deviate from the costs, fees, and expenses provided in their project cost information for the project's cost components, provided that the final total project cost does not exceed the approved permit amount.

Major construction projects, for the purposes of this Act, shall include but are not limited to: projects for the construction of new buildings; additions to existing facilities; modernization projects whose cost is in excess of $1,000,000 or 10% of the facilities' operating revenue, whichever is less; and such other projects as the State Board shall define and prescribe pursuant to this Act.

The State Board may extend the obligation period upon a showing of good cause by the permit holder. Permits for projects that have not been obligated within the prescribed obligation period shall expire on the last day of that period.

The acquisition by any person of major medical equipment that will not be owned by or located in a health care facility and that will not be used to provide services to inpatients of a health care facility shall be exempt from review provided that a notice is filed in accordance with exemption requirements.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, no permit or exemption is required for the construction or modification of a non-clinical service area of a health care facility.

Projects eligible for an exemption, rather than a permit, include, but are not limited to, change of ownership of a health care facility. For a change of ownership of a health care facility between related persons, the State Board shall provide by rule for an expedited process for obtaining an exemption.

Members of the public shall have until 10 days before the meeting of the State Board to submit any written response concerning the Board staff's written review or findings at least 10 days before the meeting of the State Board. The Board staff may revise any findings to address corrections of factual errors cited in the public response. At the meeting, the State Board may, in its discretion, permit the submission of other additional written materials.

(d) Upon receipt of an application for a permit, the State Board shall approve and authorize the issuance of a permit if it finds (1) that the applicant is fit, willing, and able to provide a proper standard of health care service for the community with particular regard to the qualification, background and character of the applicant, (2) that economic feasibility is demonstrated in terms of effect on the existing and projected operating budget of the applicant and of the health care facility; in terms of the applicant's ability to establish and operate such facility in accordance with licensure regulations promulgated under pertinent state laws; and in terms of the projected impact on the total health care expenditures in the facility and community, (3) that safeguards are provided which assure that the establishment, construction or modification of the health care facility or acquisition of major medical equipment is consistent with the public interest, and (4) that the proposed project is consistent with the orderly and economic development of such facilities and equipment and is in accord with standards, criteria, or plans of need adopted and approved pursuant to the provisions of Section 12 of this Act.

The State Board shall prescribe and provide the forms upon which the review and findings of the State Board staff shall be made. The State Board staff shall submit its review and findings to the State Board for its approval or denial of the permit.

When an application for a permit is initially reviewed by State Board staff, as provided in this Section, the State Board shall, upon request, afford an opportunity for a public hearing within a reasonable amount of time after receipt of the complete application, but not to exceed 90 days after receipt of the complete application. Notice of the hearing shall be made promptly, within 10 days before the hearing, by certified mail to the applicant and, within 10 days before the hearing, by publication in a newspaper of general circulation in the area or community to be affected. The hearing shall be held in the area or community in which the proposed project is to be located, and shall be for the purpose of allowing the applicant and any interested person to present public testimony concerning the approval, denial, renewal, or revocation of the permit. All interested persons attending the hearing shall be given a reasonable opportunity to present their views or arguments in writing or orally, and a record of all of the testimony shall accompany any findings of the State Board staff.
