    AN ACT concerning State government.
  
 
    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
 
represented in the General Assembly:
  


 
    Section 5. The Mental Health and Developmental 
Disabilities Administrative Act is amended  by changing Section 
53 as follows:
 



    (20 ILCS 1705/53)  (from Ch. 91 1/2, par. 100-53)



    Sec. 53. 
The Department shall create a consistent case 
coordination system
for persons with a developmental 
disability who receive services provided or
funded by the 
Department. The objectives of this system shall be to ensure 
that
a full range of an individual's needs is identified and 
assessed through
statewide use of an individual client 
assessment tool; to ensure that each
individual actually 
receives, in the most effective and efficient combination
and 
sequence, the full range and continuum of services needed; to 
ensure that
all available resources are applied appropriately 
to each individual served;
and to provide a systematic 
procedure for serving individuals which generates
among and 
within the local service delivery agencies information 
required for
effective system management.

    Each individual residing in a community integrated living 
arrangement shall receive an annual assessment to screen that 
individual for any health issues or risks.  Beginning July 1, 
2019, each individual shall receive his or her annual client 
assessment via a web-based, electronic screening tool.  The 
electronic screening tool shall replace the current 
paper-based assessment. A provider may make a request, along 
with justifications, to the Department to complete the 
assessment on paper.  Subject to appropriation, the Department 
may contract with a third-party entity to create and implement 
the web-based, electronic screening tool.  The Department shall 
make changes to its rules in the Illinois Administrative Code 
to incorporate a web-based, electronic assessment tool. 
    "Case coordination" means a mechanism for linking and 
coordinating segments
of the service delivery system to ensure 
the most comprehensive program
for meeting an individual 
client's needs. It facilitates client movement
through an array 
of services so that at any given time, services received are

matched to the needs of the individual.
