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.

Sec. 2.1. Plan of correction; penalties.
(a) If the Department surveyor determines that
the hospital or approved pediatric health care facility is not
in compliance with its approved plan, the surveyor shall provide the
hospital or approved pediatric health care facility with a written list of the specific items of noncompliance within
10 working days after the conclusion of the on-site review. The hospital shall have
10 working days to submit to the Department a plan of
correction which
contains the hospital's or approved pediatric health care facility's specific proposals for correcting the items of
noncompliance. The Department shall review the plan of
correction and
notify the hospital in writing within 10 working days as to whether the plan is acceptable
or unacceptable.
If the Department finds the Plan of Correction
unacceptable, the
hospital or approved pediatric health care facility shall have 10 working days to resubmit an acceptable Plan of
Correction. Upon notification that its Plan of Correction is acceptable, a
hospital or approved pediatric health care facility shall implement the Plan of Correction within 60 days.
(b) The failure of a hospital to submit an acceptable Plan of Correction or to implement
the Plan of Correction, within the time frames required in this Section,
will subject a hospital to the imposition of a fine by the Department. The
Department may impose a fine of up to $500 per day
until a hospital
complies with the requirements of this Section. If a hospital submits 2 Plans of Correction that are found to not be acceptable by the Department, the hospital shall become subject to the imposition of a fine by the Department.
If an approved pediatric health care facility fails to submit an acceptable Plan of Correction or to implement the Plan of Correction within the time frames required in this Section, then the Department shall notify the approved pediatric health care facility that the approved pediatric health care facility may not provide medical forensic services under this Act. The Department may impose a fine of up to $500 per patient provided services in violation of this Act. If an approved pediatric facility submits 2 Plans of Correction that are found to not be acceptable by the Department, the approved pediatric health care facility shall become subject to the imposition of a fine by the Department and the termination of its approved sexual assault treatment plan. (c) Before imposing a fine pursuant to this Section, the Department shall
provide the hospital or approved pediatric health care facility via certified mail with written notice and an
opportunity for an administrative hearing. Such hearing must be requested
within 10 working days after receipt of the Department's Notice.
All hearings
shall be conducted in accordance with the Department's
rules
