Amends the Hospital Licensing Act. Increases the fine for a hospital that fails to implement a written staffing plan for nursing services from a fine of up to $500 per occurrence to a fine of up to $5,000 per occurrence. Increases the fine for a hospital that demonstrates a pattern or practice of failing to substantially comply with a plan of correction within 60 days from a fine of up to $500 per occurrence to a fine of up to $10,000 per occurrence. Specifies that the Department of Public Health may revoke or suspend a license under the Act for the second or subsequent time that a hospital demonstrates a pattern or practice of failing to substantially comply with a plan of correction within 60 days (now, the hospital is issued a fine of up to $1,000 per occurrence for such a violation).
