Bill > SB3179

This bill amends two existing Illinois laws to expand protections for vulnerable adults. First, it modifies the Abused and Neglected Long Term Care Facility Residents Reporting Act by including any facility licensed under the Assisted Living and Shared Housing Act within the definition of a "long term care facility," meaning these facilities and their residents will now be subject to the same reporting requirements for abuse and neglect as other long-term care facilities. Second, it amends the Adult Protective Services Act by removing supportive living facilities from the definition of a "domestic living situation," which is a key term used to determine when adult protective services can intervene; this change clarifies the scope of services provided by Adult Protective Services.
