Bill > HB4993

This bill makes several changes to Illinois law, primarily focusing on administrative processes and repealing outdated acts. It removes references to the Board of Reimbursement Appeals, which previously handled appeals for the Department of Human Services' (DHS) determination of services charges, and instead mandates that these hearings follow specific DHS rules and the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act, with final decisions subject to judicial review. This change also applies to appeals under the Sexually Violent Persons Commitment Act, which governs the commitment and treatment of individuals found to be sexually violent. The bill also repeals the Regional Integrated Behavioral Health Networks Act and the Afterschool Youth Development Project Act, as these programs are no longer active. Additionally, it eliminates a provision establishing the Advisory Committee on Geriatric Services from the Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities Administrative Act. Finally, the bill modifies the Bureau for the Blind Act by extending term limits for members of the Blind Services Planning Council and increasing the maximum number of terms a member can serve.
