210 ILCS 4/ Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias Special Care Disclosure Act.

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. 5. Legislative purpose.

This Body finds it to be in the public
interest to promote the highest standard of medical care currently available to
people suffering from Alzheimer's disease and related dementias without restricting the future
implementation of treatment options that may  become available through
ongoing research.  It is further in the public interest to protect consumers
from
false claims of specialized care of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias.
Therefore, the General Assembly declares it to be the purpose of this Act to
require health care facilities
offering specialized care in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias to fully
inform the public regarding the facility and program of care.
