Summary

Creates the Developmental Disability Institutional Safety Act ("Brian's Law"). Requires the Illinois Department of Human Services and the Illinois Department of Public Health to develop teams of monitors to ensure the safety and well-being of individuals residing at State-operated developmental disability institutions. Authorizes these teams to conduct site visits at these institutions and to report on their observations. Requires the Departments to develop and implement action plans to respond to these reports. Requires the Departments to develop a team of experts to investigate and report on the deaths of individuals who are under the care of these institutions. Requires the Departments to develop plans of prevention within 90 days after the completion of an investigation into the death of an individual at one of these institutions. Requires the Department of Human Service to provide certain information to individuals with developmental disabilities and their families. Amends the Abused and Neglected Long Term Care Facility Residents Reporting Act. Provides that neglect includes the failure to follow medical and personal care protocols, such as dietary restrictions, regardless of whether that failure causes injury, and that abuse includes inadequate medical care that, regardless of the final cause of death, compromises an individual's health or leads to serious medical consequences followed by the individuals' death.
