(225 ILCS 510/4) (from Ch. 111, par. 954)
Sec. 4. Licensing. The Department shall license nurse agencies in
accordance with this Act for the protection of the health, welfare and
safety of patients and residents. No person may establish, operate,
maintain, or advertise as a nurse agency in the State of Illinois unless the
person is licensed under this Act by the Department of Labor. Being licensed
under the Home
Health, Home Services, and Home Nursing Agency Licensing Act does not relieve home health agencies that provide
nurse agency services from the requirement of obtaining licensure under this
Act. No health care facility shall use the services of an unlicensed nurse
agency.
