AN ACT concerning education.
|
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
|
represented in the General Assembly:
|
Section 5. The Behavioral Health Workforce Education |
Center Task Force Act is amended by changing Section 5 as |
follows:
|
(110 ILCS 165/5)
|
Sec. 5. Behavioral Health Workforce Education Center Task |
Force. |
(a) The Behavioral Health Education Center Task Force is |
created. |
(b) The Task Force shall be composed of the following |
members: |
(1) the Executive Director of the Board of Higher |
Education, or his or her designee; |
(2) a representative of Southern Illinois University |
at Carbondale, appointed by the chancellor of Southern |
Illinois University at Carbondale; |
(3) a representative of Southern Illinois University |
at Edwardsville, appointed by the chancellor of Southern |
Illinois University at Edwardsville; |
(4) a representative of Southern Illinois University |
School of Medicine, appointed by the President of Southern |
|
Illinois University; |
(5) a representative of the University of Illinois at |
Urbana-Champaign, appointed by the chancellor of the |
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign; : |
(6) a representative of the University of Illinois at |
Chicago, appointed by the chancellor of the University of |
Illinois at Chicago; |
(7) a representative of the University of Illinois at |
Springfield, appointed by the chancellor of the University |
of Illinois at Springfield; |
(8) a representative of the University of Illinois |
School of Medicine, appointed by the President of the |
University of Illinois; |
(9) a representative of the University of Illinois at |
Chicago Hospital & Health Sciences System (UI Health), |
appointed by the Vice Chancellor for Health Affairs of the |
University of Illinois at Chicago; |
(10) a representative of the Division of Mental Health |
of the Department of Human Services, appointed by the |
Secretary of Human Services; |
(11) 2 representatives of a statewide organization |
representing community behavioral healthcare, appointed by |
the President of Southern Illinois University from |
nominations made by the statewide organization; and |
(12) one representative from a hospital located in a |
municipality with more than 1,000,000 inhabitants that |
|
principally provides services to children. |
(c) The Task Force shall meet to organize and select a |
chairperson from the non-governmental members of the Task Force |
upon appointment of a majority of the members. The chairperson |
shall be elected by a majority vote of the members of the Task |
Force. |
(d) The Task Force may consult with any persons or entities |
it deems necessary to carry out its purposes. |
(e) The members of the Task Force shall receive no |
compensation for serving as members of the Task Force. |
(f) The Task Force shall study the concepts presented in |
House Bill 5111, as introduced, of the 100th General Assembly. |
Additionally, the Task Force shall consider the fiscal means by |
which the General Assembly might most effectively fund |
implementation of the concepts presented in House Bill 5111, as |
introduced, of the 100th General Assembly. The Task Force must |
recognize that the behavioral health workforce is comprised of |
a broad range of professions providing prevention, treatment, |
and rehabilitation services for mental health conditions and |
substance use disorders. To address workforce capacity issues |
that impact access to care, the Task Force must engage in |
extensive planning and data collection. Because there is no |
central data repository that exists for Illinois' behavioral |
health workforce, the Task Force must identify a data set, |
which is a foundational step to analyzing and providing |
recommendations to the concepts presented in House Bill 5111, |
|
as introduced, of the 100th General Assembly. |
(g) The Task Force shall submit its findings and |
recommendations to the General Assembly on or before December |
31, 2019 September 28th, 2018. The report to the General |
Assembly shall be filed with the Clerk of the House of |
Representatives and the Secretary of the Senate in electronic |
form only, in the manner that the Clerk and the Secretary shall |
direct. |
(h) The Board of Higher Education shall provide technical |
support and administrative assistance and support to the Task |
Force and shall be responsible for administering its operations |
and ensuring that the requirements of this Act are met.
