|
| | | SB0648 | | LRB101 04392 KTG 49400 b |
|
| 1 | | AN ACT concerning public aid.
| 2 | | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| 3 | | represented in the General Assembly:
| 4 | | Section 5. The Illinois Public Aid Code is amended by | 5 | | changing Section 5-5.01a as follows:
| 6 | | (305 ILCS 5/5-5.01a)
| 7 | | Sec. 5-5.01a. Supportive living facilities program. | 8 | | (a) The
The
Department shall establish and provide | 9 | | oversight for a program of supportive living facilities that | 10 | | seek to promote
resident independence, dignity, respect, and | 11 | | well-being in the most
cost-effective manner. | 12 | | A supportive living facility is (i) a free-standing | 13 | | facility or (ii) a distinct
physical and operational entity | 14 | | within a mixed-use building that meets the criteria established | 15 | | in subsection (d). A supportive
living facility integrates | 16 | | housing with health, personal care, and supportive
services and | 17 | | is a designated setting that offers residents their own
| 18 | | separate, private, and distinct living units.
| 19 | | Sites for the operation of the program
shall be selected by | 20 | | the Department based upon criteria
that may include the need | 21 | | for services in a geographic area, the
availability of funding, | 22 | | and the site's ability to meet the standards.
| 23 | | (b) Beginning July 1, 2014, subject to federal approval, |
| | | SB0648 | - 2 - | LRB101 04392 KTG 49400 b |
|
| 1 | | the Medicaid rates for supportive living facilities shall be | 2 | | equal to the supportive living facility Medicaid rate effective | 3 | | on June 30, 2014 increased by 8.85%.
Once the assessment | 4 | | imposed at Article V-G of this Code is determined to be a | 5 | | permissible tax under Title XIX of the Social Security Act, the | 6 | | Department shall increase the Medicaid rates for supportive | 7 | | living facilities effective on July 1, 2014 by 9.09%. The | 8 | | Department shall apply this increase retroactively to coincide | 9 | | with the imposition of the assessment in Article V-G of this | 10 | | Code in accordance with the approval for federal financial | 11 | | participation by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid | 12 | | Services. | 13 | | The Medicaid rates for supportive living facilities | 14 | | effective on July 1, 2017 must be equal to the rates in effect | 15 | | for supportive living facilities on June 30, 2017 increased by | 16 | | 2.8%. | 17 | | The Medicaid rates for supportive living facilities | 18 | | effective on July 1, 2018 must be equal to the rates in effect | 19 | | for supportive living facilities on June 30, 2018. | 20 | | (c) The Department may adopt rules to implement this | 21 | | Section. Rules that
establish or modify the services, | 22 | | standards, and conditions for participation
in the program | 23 | | shall be adopted by the Department in consultation
with the | 24 | | Department on Aging, the Department of Rehabilitation | 25 | | Services, and
the Department of Mental Health and Developmental | 26 | | Disabilities (or their
successor agencies).
|
| | | SB0648 | - 3 - | LRB101 04392 KTG 49400 b |
|
| 1 | | (d) Subject to federal approval by the Centers for Medicare | 2 | | and Medicaid Services, the Department shall accept for | 3 | | consideration of certification under the program any | 4 | | application for a site or building where distinct parts of the | 5 | | site or building are designated for purposes other than the | 6 | | provision of supportive living services, but only if: | 7 | | (1) those distinct parts of the site or building are | 8 | | not designated for the purpose of providing assisted living | 9 | | services as required under the Assisted Living and Shared | 10 | | Housing Act; | 11 | | (2) those distinct parts of the site or building are | 12 | | completely separate from the part of the building used for | 13 | | the provision of supportive living program services, | 14 | | including separate entrances; | 15 | | (3) those distinct parts of the site or building do not | 16 | | share any common spaces with the part of the building used | 17 | | for the provision of supportive living program services; | 18 | | and | 19 | | (4) those distinct parts of the site or building do not | 20 | | share staffing with the part of the building used for the | 21 | | provision of supportive living program services. | 22 | | (e) Facilities or distinct parts of facilities which are | 23 | | selected as supportive
living facilities and are in good | 24 | | standing with the Department's rules are
exempt from the | 25 | | provisions of the Nursing Home Care Act and the Illinois Health
| 26 | | Facilities Planning Act.
