Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process.
Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as
Public
Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the
Guide.
Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes,
statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect.
If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has
not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already
been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes
made to the current law.
(110 ILCS 215/4) (from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 824)
Sec. 4. Grants may be made to the following classes of institutions that offer health services programs: (i) medical, dental, pharmacy, optometry, and
nursing schools, (ii)
physician assistant programs, (iii) psychology and other physical and mental health-related
schools and programs, and (iv) hospitals and clinical facilities used in health
service training programs.
Qualification for grants shall be on the basis of either the number of
Illinois resident enrollees or the number of degrees granted to students who
are residents of this State or both. The grant amount shall be determined by
the Board of Higher Education for each class of institution.
At the discretion of the Board of Higher Education grants may be made
for a class of institution in any or all of the following forms:
(1) Single nonrecurring grants for planning and |
| capital expense based on the increase in the number of Illinois resident enrollees;
|
|
(2) Annual grants based on the number of degrees
|
| granted to (a) Illinois resident enrollees, or (b) Illinois resident enrollees from minority racial and ethnic groups, or both (a) and (b);
|
|
(3) Annual stabilization grants based on the number
|
| of (a) Illinois residents enrolled, or (b) Illinois residents enrolled from minority racial and ethnic groups, or both (a) and (b); and
|
|
(4) Program priority grants based on State residents
|
| enrolled in eligible programs that address public demand for health services, workforce needs and shortages, and other programmatic priorities, such as sole service providers, academic needs, or industry standards. The Board of Higher Education may annually dedicate a portion of appropriated funds, not to exceed 10% of appropriations, to support program priority grants. In determining program priority areas, the Board of Higher Education shall annually consult with constituent institutions.

|
In awarding grants to nursing schools and to hospital schools of nursing,
the Board of Higher Education may also consider whether the nursing program
is located in a certified nurse shortage area. For purposes of this Section
"certified nurse shortage area" means an area certified by the Director
of the Department of Public Health as a nurse shortage area based on the
most reliable data available to the Director.
