A BILL FOR
SB0757 LRB096 06824 DRJ 16910 b
AN ACT concerning public aid.
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
Section 5. The Illinois Public Aid Code is amended by
changing Section 5-5.01a as follows:
(305 ILCS 5/5-5.01a)
Sec. 5-5.01a. Supportive living facilities program. The
The Department shall establish and provide oversight for a
program of supportive living facilities that seek to promote
resident independence, dignity, respect, and well-being in the
most cost-effective manner.
A supportive living facility is either a free-standing
facility or a distinct physical and operational entity within a
nursing facility. A supportive living facility integrates
housing with health, personal care, and supportive services and
is a designated setting that offers residents their own
separate, private, and distinct living units.
Sites for the operation of the program shall be selected by
the Department based upon criteria that may include the need
for services in a geographic area, the availability of funding,
and the site's ability to meet the standards.
The Department may adopt rules to implement this Section.
Rules that establish or modify the services, standards, and

SB0757 - 2 - LRB096 06824 DRJ 16910 b
conditions for participation in the program shall be adopted by
the Department in consultation with the Department on Aging,
the Department of Rehabilitation Services, and the Department
of Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities (or their
successor agencies).
Facilities or distinct parts of facilities which are
selected as supportive living facilities and are in good
standing with the Department's rules are exempt from the
provisions of the Nursing Home Care Act and the Illinois Health
Facilities Planning Act.
