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.

(225 ILCS 510/12) (from Ch. 111, par. 962)

Sec. 12.

Liability of nurse agencies.

Health care facilities are
responsible for supervising nurse agency employees assigned or referred to
the facilities; however, where a health care facility is found liable for
an injury to a patient or resident because of a negligent act performed by
a nurse or certified nurse aide employed, assigned or referred by the nurse
agency, the health care facility has a right to be compensated by the nurse
agency for any and all expenses incurred related to any liability for the
nurse agency's negligent hiring.  Negligent hiring by a nurse agency shall
be the failure of an agency to follow the procedures outlined in Section 13
of this Act. This provision shall not otherwise limit in any way the
actions a health care facility may have against a nurse agency at law or
in equity.
