Statutes Amended In Order of Appearance

20 ILCS 3960/8.5

Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Illinois Health Facilities Planning Act. Requires the State Board to publish legal notice for change of ownership of a health care facility, discontinuation of a health care facility, or discontinuation of a category of service on 5 consecutive days (rather than one day or 3 consecutive days) in a newspaper of general circulation in the area or community to be affected. Provides that upon a finding that an application to close a health care facility is complete, the State Board shall hold a hearing (rather than merely afford an opportunity to request a hearing). Provides that upon a finding that an application to discontinue a category of service is complete, the State Board shall hold a public hearing before an exemption is issued. Makes conforming changes. Effective immediately.

House Floor Amendment No. 1
Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Reinserts the provisions of the bill as introduced with changes. Provides that, in addition to other notice requirements, upon a finding that an application to close a health care facility is complete, the health care facility shall provide notice of closure to the local media that the health care facility would routinely notify about facility events. Removes language requiring legal notice to be published on 5 consecutive days and removes certain other notice requirements.
