210 ILCS 30/6.2from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 4166.2

Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Abused and Neglected Long Term Care Facility Residents Reporting Act. Provides that there shall be an appeals process for any person or agency based on a finding of abuse or neglect. Provides that hearings shall be conducted in accordance with the Department of Public Health's rules. Effective immediately.

House Amendment No. 1
Provides that the appeals process shall be for a person or agency against whom there is a substantiated finding of abuse or neglect (rather than based on a finding of abuse or neglect). Provides that any person who is a member of a collective bargaining unit pursuant to the Illinois Public Labor Relations Act or any federal labor statute may elect to use the grievance or arbitration process as an alternative to the appeal process. Clarifies a reference to the Department of Human Services. Provides that the Inspector General shall be required to establish by a preponderance of the evidence that the reported incident did occur and that the actions of the person or agency met the general standard for a finding of abuse or neglect. Provides that, if, as a result of a hearing, the Inspector General's substantiated finding of abuse or neglect is overturned, the Department shall in no case report the finding to the Department of Public Health's nurse aide registry and, if a finding that has already been reported to the Department of Public Health's nurse aide registry is later overturned, the report must be removed from the registry. Makes other changes.
