Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

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.

(210 ILCS 45/3-306) (from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 4153-306)

Sec. 3-306.

In determining whether a penalty is to be imposed and in determining
the amount of the penalty to be imposed, if any, for a violation,
the Director shall consider the following factors:

(1) the gravity of the violation, including the

probability that death or serious physical or mental harm to a resident will result or has resulted; the severity of the actual or potential harm, and the extent to which the provisions of the applicable statutes or regulations were violated;

(2) the reasonable diligence exercised by the

licensee and efforts to correct violations;

(3) any previous violations committed by the

licensee; and

(4) the financial benefit to the facility of

committing or continuing the violation.
