| 1 | | AN ACT concerning health.
| 2 | | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| 3 | | represented in the General Assembly:
| 4 | | Section 5. The Sexual Assault Survivors Emergency | 5 | | Treatment Act is amended by changing Section 2 as follows:
| 6 | | (410 ILCS 70/2) (from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 87-2)
| 7 | | Sec. 2. Hospital and approved pediatric health care | 8 | | facility requirements for sexual assault plans.
| 9 | | (a) Every hospital
required to be licensed by the | 10 | | Department pursuant to
the Hospital Licensing Act, or operated | 11 | | under the University of Illinois Hospital Act that provides | 12 | | general medical and surgical hospital services
shall provide | 13 | | either (i) transfer services to all sexual assault survivors, | 14 | | (ii) medical forensic services to all sexual assault survivors, | 15 | | or (iii) transfer services to pediatric sexual assault | 16 | | survivors and medical forensic services to sexual assault | 17 | | survivors 13 years old or older, in accordance with rules | 18 | | adopted by the Department.
| 19 | | In addition, every such hospital, regardless of whether or | 20 | | not a request
is made for reimbursement, shall submit
to the | 21 | | Department a plan to provide either (i) transfer services to | 22 | | all sexual assault survivors, (ii) medical forensic services to | 23 | | all sexual assault survivors, or (iii) transfer services to |
| | | HB3038 Enrolled | - 2 - | LRB101 10078 CPF 55181 b |
|
| 1 | | pediatric sexual assault survivors and medical forensic | 2 | | services to sexual assault survivors 13 years old or older.
The
| 3 | | Department shall approve such plan for
either (i) transfer | 4 | | services to all sexual assault survivors, (ii) medical forensic | 5 | | services
to all sexual assault survivors, or (iii) transfer | 6 | | services to pediatric sexual assault survivors and medical | 7 | | forensic services to sexual assault survivors 13 years old or | 8 | | older, if it finds that the implementation of
the proposed plan | 9 | | would provide (i) transfer services or (ii) medical forensic | 10 | | services for
sexual assault survivors in accordance with the | 11 | | requirements of this Act and provide sufficient protections | 12 | | from the
risk of pregnancy to
sexual assault survivors. | 13 | | Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph, the | 14 | | Department may approve a sexual assault transfer plan for the | 15 | | provision of medical forensic services until January 1, 2022 | 16 | | if: | 17 | | (1) a treatment hospital with approved pediatric | 18 | | transfer has agreed, as part of an areawide treatment plan, | 19 | | to accept sexual assault survivors 13 years of age or older | 20 | | from the proposed transfer hospital, if the treatment | 21 | | hospital with approved pediatric transfer is | 22 | | geographically closer to the transfer hospital than a | 23 | | treatment hospital or another treatment hospital with | 24 | | approved pediatric transfer and such transfer is not unduly | 25 | | burdensome on the sexual assault survivor; and | 26 | | (2) a treatment hospital has agreed, as a part of an |
| | | HB3038 Enrolled | - 3 - | LRB101 10078 CPF 55181 b |
|
| 1 | | areawide treatment plan, to accept sexual assault | 2 | | survivors under 13 years of age from the proposed transfer | 3 | | hospital and transfer to the treatment hospital would not | 4 | | unduly burden the sexual assault survivor.
| 5 | | The Department may not approve a sexual assault transfer | 6 | | plan unless a treatment hospital has agreed, as a part of an | 7 | | areawide treatment plan, to accept sexual assault survivors | 8 | | from the proposed transfer hospital and a transfer to the | 9 | | treatment hospital would not unduly burden the sexual assault | 10 | | survivor. | 11 | | In counties with a population of less than 1,000,000, the | 12 | | Department may not approve a sexual assault transfer plan for a | 13 | | hospital located within a 20-mile radius of a 4-year public | 14 | | university, not including community colleges, unless there is a | 15 | | treatment hospital with a sexual assault treatment plan | 16 | | approved by the Department within a 20-mile radius of the | 17 | | 4-year public university. | 18 | | A transfer must be in accordance with federal and State | 19 | | laws and local ordinances. | 20 | | A treatment hospital with approved pediatric transfer must | 21 | | submit an areawide treatment plan under Section 3 of this Act | 22 | | that includes a written agreement with a treatment hospital | 23 | | stating that the treatment hospital will provide medical | 24 | | forensic services to pediatric sexual assault survivors | 25 | | transferred from the treatment hospital with approved | 26 | | pediatric transfer. The areawide treatment plan may also |
| | | HB3038 Enrolled | - 4 - | LRB101 10078 CPF 55181 b |
|
| 1 | | include an approved pediatric health care facility. | 2 | | A transfer hospital must submit an areawide treatment plan | 3 | | under Section 3 of this Act that includes a written agreement | 4 | | with a treatment hospital stating that the treatment hospital | 5 | | will provide medical forensic services to all sexual assault | 6 | | survivors transferred from the transfer hospital. The areawide | 7 | | treatment plan may also include an approved pediatric health | 8 | | care facility. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this | 9 | | paragraph, until January 1, 2022, the areawide treatment plan | 10 | | may include a written agreement with a treatment hospital with | 11 | | approved pediatric transfer that is geographically closer than | 12 | | other hospitals providing medical forensic services to sexual | 13 | | assault survivors 13 years of age or older stating that the | 14 | | treatment hospital with approved pediatric transfer will | 15 | | provide medical services to sexual assault survivors 13 years | 16 | | of age or older who are transferred from the transfer hospital. | 17 | | If the areawide treatment plan includes a written agreement | 18 | | with a treatment hospital with approved pediatric transfer, it | 19 | | must also include a written agreement with a treatment hospital | 20 | | stating that the treatment hospital will provide medical | 21 | | forensic services to sexual assault survivors under 13 years of | 22 | | age who are transferred from the transfer hospital. | 23 | | Beginning January 1, 2019, each treatment hospital and | 24 | | treatment hospital with approved pediatric transfer shall | 25 | | ensure that emergency department attending physicians, | 26 | | physician assistants, advanced practice registered nurses, and |
| | | HB3038 Enrolled | - 5 - | LRB101 10078 CPF 55181 b |
|
| 1 | | registered professional nurses providing clinical services, | 2 | | who do not meet the definition of a qualified medical provider | 3 | | in Section 1a of this Act, receive a minimum of 2 hours of | 4 | | sexual assault training by July 1, 2020 or until the treatment | 5 | | hospital or treatment hospital with approved pediatric | 6 | | transfer certifies to the Department, in a form and manner | 7 | | prescribed by the Department, that it employs or contracts with | 8 | | a qualified medical provider in accordance with subsection | 9 | | (a-7) of Section 5, whichever occurs first. | 10 | | After July 1, 2020 or once a treatment hospital or a | 11 | | treatment hospital with approved pediatric transfer certifies | 12 | | compliance with subsection (a-7) of Section 5, whichever occurs | 13 | | first, each treatment hospital and treatment hospital with | 14 | | approved pediatric transfer shall ensure that emergency | 15 | | department attending physicians, physician assistants, | 16 | | advanced practice registered nurses, and registered | 17 | | professional nurses providing clinical services, who do not | 18 | | meet the definition of a qualified medical provider in Section | 19 | | 1a of this Act, receive a minimum of 2 hours of continuing | 20 | | education on responding to sexual assault survivors every 2 | 21 | | years. Protocols for training shall be included in the | 22 | | hospital's sexual assault treatment plan. | 23 | | Sexual assault training provided under this subsection may | 24 | | be provided in person or online and shall include, but not be | 25 | | limited to: | 26 | | (1) information provided on the provision of medical |

These services shall | 18 | | be provided by a qualified medical provider. | 19 | | A pediatric health care facility must participate in or | 20 | | submit an areawide treatment plan under Section 3 of this Act | 21 | | that includes a treatment hospital. If a pediatric health care | 22 | | facility does not provide certain medical or surgical services | 23 | | that are provided by hospitals, the areawide sexual assault | 24 | | treatment plan must include a procedure for ensuring a sexual | 25 | | assault survivor in need of such medical or surgical services | 26 | | receives the services at the treatment hospital.

If the Department | 6 | | finds that the proposed plan meets the minimum requirements set | 7 | | forth in Section 5 of this Act and that implementation of the | 8 | | proposed plan would provide medical forensic services for | 9 | | pediatric sexual assault survivors, then the Department shall | 10 | | approve the plan.

The | 13 | | pediatric health care facility shall have 30 days to submit a | 14 | | revised plan. The Department shall review the revised plan | 15 | | within 30 days after receipt of the plan and notify the | 16 | | pediatric health care facility whether the revised plan is | 17 | | approved or rejected. A pediatric health care facility may not | 18 | | provide medical forensic services to pediatric sexual assault | 19 | | survivors who present with a complaint of sexual assault within | 20 | | a minimum of the last 7 days or who have disclosed past sexual | 21 | | assault by a specific individual and were in the care of that | 22 | | individual within a minimum of the last 7 days until the | 23 | | Department has approved a treatment plan. | 24 | | If an approved pediatric health care facility is not open | 25 | | 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, it shall post signage at each | 26 | | public entrance to its facility that: |
