Short title. This Act may be cited as the Prompt Care Facility Registration Act. Section 5. Findings and purpose. (a) The Illinois General Assembly makes all of the following findings: (1) Hospital emergency services are not always the most appropriate level of care for patients seeking unscheduled medical care or for patients who do not have a regular physician who can treat a significant or acute medical condition not considered critical, debilitating, or life-threatening.
[November 20, 2002] 26 (2) Hospital emergency rooms are over-utilized and too often over-burdened with many injuries or illnesses that could be managed in a less intensive clinical setting or physician's office. (3) Over-utilization of hospital emergency departments contributes to excess medical and health insurance costs. (4) Prompt care facilities are a growing alternative to hospital emergency departments. (5) The use of the term "urgent" or "emergi-" or a similar term in a prompt care facility's posted or advertised name may confuse the public and prospective patients regarding the type of services offered relative to those provided by a hospital emergency department. There is significant risk to the public health and safety if persons requiring treatment for a critical or life-threatening condition inappropriately use prompt care facilities. (6) To control costs and ensure more appropriate use of the health care delivery system, some managed care entities and other health insurers require use of alternative health care facilities such as prompt care facilities for certain non-critical medical emergencies. Enrollees are not always sure about the policies and procedures that must be followed in the use of such facilities, especially the standards that will differentiate between use of these facilities and a hospital emergency department. (7) There is a need to more clearly define the role and function of prompt care facilities in the health care delivery system, and to more effectively educate health care payers and consumers about the most appropriate use of prompt care facilities. (b) The purpose of this Act is to define the role and function of prompt care facilities, require the registration of such facilities, and require public education regarding the appropriate use of such facilities. Section 10. Definitions. For the purposes of this Act: "Department" means the Department of Public Health. "Prompt care facility" means an outpatient treatment center that (i) advertises or provides unscheduled health care services and (ii) uses or advertises a facility with the term "urgent care center", "emergi-center", or "prompt care center" or gives the impression to the public that it provides health care services for conditions requiring immediate, urgent, or emergency care, as defined by the Department. "Prompt care facility" does not include any of the following: (i) A medical facility that is licensed under the Hospital Licensing Act or the Ambulatory Surgical Treatment Center Act or any other health care institution licensed under the laws of the State of Illinois. (ii) Dispensaries and first aid stations located within business or industrial establishments maintained solely for the use of employees. (iii) Adult foster care homes. (iv) Places where 4 or fewer adults receive adult day health services. (v) Places at which persons receive health-related services only from relatives or legal guardians. (vi) The personal residence of a terminally ill person or the personal residence of that person's relative or guardian, where that person receives hospice services. (vii) All medical and health-related facilities and services that are provided to inmates in a state prison. (viii) A physician office or clinic that does not advertise using the term "urgent care center", "emergi-center", or "prompt care center" or give the impression to the public that it provides health care services for conditions requiring immediate, urgent, or emergency care, as defined by the Department. Section 15. Registration requirement. Beginning January 1, 2004, no person shall establish, conduct, or maintain a prompt care facility without first being registered with the Department. Section 20. Ownership of prompt care facility. No person or
27 [November 20, 2002] entity may own a prompt care facility other than a licensed hospital, a hospital affiliate as defined under the Hospital Licensing Act, an individual licensed physician, a group of licensed physicians, or any combination thereof. Section 25. Referral and emergency transportation plans. As a condition of registration, each prompt care facility must develop and implement referral and emergency transportation plans for use in critical medical emergencies. These plans shall include policies and procedures for accessing the emergency medical services system, including the use of ambulances and paramedic personnel for transporting patients to the facility and from the facility to hospital emergency departments, when necessary. All policies and procedures shall be approved by a physician licensed to practice medicine it all its branches or the facility medical director. Section 30. Educating the public. Prompt care facilities must educate the public and prospective patients about the categories or types of services available at prompt care facilities and their appropriate use. Section 35. Rules. The Department shall adopt rules for the implementation of this Act, including rules concerning registration fees, penalties for noncompliance, and the suspension or termination of operation of facilities that are not registered. The Department shall adopt rules regulating the use of the term "urgent" or "emergi-" or a similar term in a prompt care facility's posted or advertised name so as to minimize, to the extent practicable, the likelihood of confusion regarding the type of services provided by a prompt care facility relative to those of a hospital emergency department. Section 90. The Department of Public Health Powers and Duties Law of the Civil Administrative Code of Illinois is amended by adding Section 2310-543 as follows: (20 ILCS 2310/2310-543 new) Sec. 2310-543.

(b) A health care plan must review the performance of and re-credential prompt care facilities at least once every 3 years. (c) Nothing in this Section is intended to affect the rights of enrollees or relieve a health care plan of its responsibilities with respect to the provision of and coverage of emergency services or treatment of an emergency medical condition, as those terms are defined by this Act, and as those responsibilities and rights are otherwise provided under this Act, especially Section 65 of this Act.

The board shall establish rules for conducting the evaluation and reporting the results to the food service manager. Nothing in this Section shall be interpreted to require the employment or assignment of an Engineer-In-Charge or a Food Service Manager for each attendance center.

If a principal is absent due to extended illness or leave or absence, an assistant principal may be assigned as acting principal for a period not to exceed 100 school days. Each principal shall assume administrative responsibility and instructional leadership, in accordance with reasonable rules and regulations of the board, for the planning, operation and evaluation of the educational program of the attendance center to which he is assigned. The principal shall submit recommendations to the general superintendent concerning the appointment, dismissal, retention, promotion, and assignment of all personnel assigned to the attendance center; provided, that from and after September 1, 1989: (i) if any vacancy occurs in a position at the attendance center or if an additional or new position is created at the attendance center, that position shall be filled by appointment made by

Notwithstanding the existence of any other law of this State, nothing in this Act shall prevent the board from entering into a contract with a third party for services currently performed by any employee or bargaining unit member. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article, each principal may approve contracts, binding on the board, in the amount of no more than $10,000, if the contract is endorsed by the Local School Council. Unless otherwise prohibited by law or by rule of the board, the principal shall provide to local school council members copies of all internal audits and any other pertinent information generated by any audits or reviews of the programs and operation of the attendance center. Each principal shall hold a valid administrative certificate issued or exchanged in accordance with Article 21 and endorsed as required by that Article for the position of principal.

A majority of the time spent by a principal shall be spent on curriculum and staff development through both formal and informal activities, establishing clear lines of communication regarding school goals, accomplishments, practices and policies with parents and teachers. The principal, with the assistance of the local school council, shall develop a school improvement plan as provided in Section 34-2.4 and, upon approval of the plan by the local school council, shall be responsible for directing implementation of the plan. The principal, with the assistance of the Professional Personnel Advisory Committee, shall develop the specific methods and contents of the school's curriculum within the board's system-wide curriculum standards and objectives and the requirements of the school improvement plan. The board shall ensure that all principals are evaluated on their instructional leadership ability and their ability to maintain a positive education and learning climate. It shall also be the

On or before October 1, 1989, the Board of Education, in consultation with any professional organization representing principals in the district, shall promulgate rules and implement a lottery for the purpose of determining whether a principal's existing performance contract (including the performance contract applicable to any principal's position in which a vacancy then exists) expires on June 30, 1990 or on June 30, 1991, and whether the ensuing 4 year performance contract begins on July 1, 1990 or July 1, 1991. The Board of Education shall establish and conduct the lottery in such manner that of all the performance contracts of principals (including the performance contracts applicable to all principal positions in which a vacancy then exists), 50% of such contracts shall expire on June 30, 1990, and 50% shall expire on June 30, 1991. All persons serving as principal on May 1, 1989, and all persons appointed as principal after May 1, 1989 and prior to July 1, 1990 or July 1, 1991, in a manner other than as provided by Section 34-2.3, shall be deemed by operation of law to be serving under a performance contract which expires on June 30, 1990 or June 30, 1991; and unless such performance contract of any such principal is renewed (or such person is again appointed to serve as principal) in the manner provided by Section 34-2.2 or 34-2.3, the employment of such person as principal shall terminate on June 30, 1990 or June 30, 1991. Commencing on July 1, 1990, or on July 1, 1991, and thereafter, the principal of each attendance center shall be the person selected in the manner provided by Section 34-2.3 to serve as principal of that attendance center under a 4 year performance contract. All performance contracts of principals expiring after July 1, 1990, or July 1, 1991, shall commence on the date specified in the contract, and the renewal of their performance contracts and the appointment of principals when their performance contracts are not renewed shall be governed by Sections 34-2.2 and 34-2.3. Whenever a vacancy in the office of a principal occurs for any reason, the vacancy shall be filled by the selection of a new principal to serve under a 4 year performance contract in the manner provided by Section 34-2.3. The board of education shall develop and prepare, in consultation with the organization representing principals, a performance contract for use at all attendance centers, and shall furnish the same to each local school council. The term of the performance contract shall be 4 years, unless the principal is retained by the decision of a hearing officer pursuant to subdivision 1.5 of Section 34-2.3, in which case the contract shall be extended for 2 years. The performance contract of each principal shall consist of the uniform performance contract, as developed or from time to time modified by the board, and such additional criteria as are established by a local school council pursuant to Section 34-2.3 for the performance contract of its principal. During the term of his or her performance contract, a principal may be removed only as provided for in the performance contract except for cause. He or she shall also be obliged to follow the rules of the board of education concerning conduct and efficiency. In the event the performance contract of a principal is not renewed or a principal is not reappointed as principal under a new performance contract, or in the event a principal is appointed to any position of superintendent or higher position, or voluntarily resigns his position of principal, his or her employment as a principal shall terminate and such former principal shall not be reinstated to the position from which he or she was promoted to principal, except that he or she, if otherwise qualified and certified in accordance with Article 21, shall be placed by the board on appropriate eligibility lists which it prepares for use in the filling of vacant or additional or newly created positions for teachers. The principal's total years of service to the board as both a teacher and a principal, or in other
[November 20, 2002] 40 professional capacities, shall be used in calculating years of experience for purposes of being selected as a teacher into new, additional or vacant positions. In the event the performance contract of a principal is not renewed or a principal is not reappointed as principal under a new performance contract, such principal shall be eligible to continue to receive his or her previously provided level of health insurance benefits for a period of 90 days following the non-renewal of the contract at no expense to the principal, provided that such principal has not retired.

The general superintendent with the advice and consent of the board of commissioners, shall appoint the chief engineer, chief of maintenance and operations, director of personnel, purchasing agent, clerk, attorney, director of research and development, and director of information technology. These constitute the heads of the Department of Engineering, Maintenance and Operations, Personnel, Purchasing, Finance, Law, Research and Development, and Information Technology, respectively. No other departments or heads of departments may be created without subsequent amendment to this Act. All such department heads are under the direct supervision of the general superintendent. The director of personnel must be qualified under Section 4.2a of this Act. The purchasing agent must be selected in accordance with Section 11.16 of this Act. In the event of illness or other prolonged absence, death or resignation creating a vacancy in the office of chief engineer, chief of maintenance and operations, director of personnel, purchasing agent, clerk, attorney, director of research and development, or director of information technology, the general superintendent shall appoint an acting officer to perform the duties and responsibilities of the office during the term of the absence or vacancy.

[November 20, 2002] 50 acting clerk, acting attorney, acting director of research and development, and acting director of information technology hold their offices at the pleasure of the general superintendent. The chief engineer, chief of maintenance and operations, director of personnel, purchasing agent, clerk, attorney, director of research and development, and director of information technology may be removed from office for cause by the general superintendent. Prior to removal, such officers are entitled to a public hearing before the general superintendent at which hearing they may be represented by counsel. Before the hearing, the general superintendent shall notify the board of commissioners of the date, time, place and nature of the hearing. In addition to the attorney appointed by the general superintendent, the board of commissioners may appoint from outside its own number an attorney, or retain counsel, to advise the board of commissioners with respect to its powers and duties and with respect to legal questions and matters of policy for which the board of commissioners is responsible. The general superintendent is the chief administrative officer of the district, has supervision over and is responsible for all administrative and operational matters of the sanitary district including the duties of all employees which are not otherwise designated by law, and is the appointing authority as specified in Section 4.11 of this Act. The board, through the budget process, shall fix the compensation of all the officers and employees of the sanitary district.

51 [November 20, 2002] he does not approve he shall return to the board of commissioners with his objections in writing at the next regular meeting of the board of commissioners occurring after the passage thereof. Such veto may extend to any one or more items or appropriations contained in any ordinance making an appropriation, or to the entire ordinance. If the veto extends to a part of such ordinance, the residue takes effect. If the president of such board of commissioners fails to return any ordinance, order, rule, resolution or regulation with his objections thereto in the time required, he is deemed to have approved it, and it takes effect accordingly. Upon the return of any ordinance, order, rule, resolution, or regulation by the president, the vote by which it was passed must be reconsidered by the board of commissioners, and if upon such reconsideration two-thirds of all the members agree by yeas and nays to pass it, it takes effect notwithstanding the president's refusal to approve thereof. It is the policy of this State that all powers granted, either expressly or by necessary implication, by this Act or any other Illinois statute to the District may be exercised by the District notwithstanding effects on competition. It is the intention of the General Assembly that the "State action exemption" to the application of federal antitrust statutes be fully available to the District to the extent its activities are authorized by law as stated herein.
