Bill > HB3386

This bill amends the ID/DD (Intellectual Disability/Developmental Disability) Community Care Act to improve the process for appealing resident assessments in facilities serving individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities. Specifically, the bill requires the Department of Public Health to establish new, more streamlined and person-centered procedures for appealing assessments conducted by the inspection of care team by January 1, 2026. The bill authorizes the Department to adopt emergency rules to implement these new appeal procedures, recognizing the importance of creating a more efficient and responsive process for residents and their families. The legislation also includes a provision in the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act to support the implementation of these new appeal procedures, and the changes will take effect on July 1, 2025. The emergency rulemaking provision is designed to ensure quick implementation and is considered necessary for public interest, safety, and welfare, with the emergency rule authorization set to expire one year after the bill's effective date.
