(405 ILCS 25/3.04) (from Ch. 91 1/2, par. 603.04)
Sec. 3.04.
The Department shall review all requests of all sponsoring
authorities. In making its selection of sites for the establishment
of specialized living centers, the Department shall give
consideration to population density and distribution
throughout the State, and select proposals representing,
as nearly as practicable, all geographic regions of the State.
If from the same geographic region of the State proposals are submitted
by more than one sponsoring authority, in making its selection
the Department shall consider: (i) the sponsoring authority
which is located in the community with the largest number of
persons with a developmental disability who would be eligible
for the services rendered in these facilities, (ii) the access to
and availability of social services to each sponsoring authority, (iii) the
access to and availability of public transportation to each sponsoring
authority. Upon selection of site proposals the Department shall
forward its selections to the Capital Development Board for the
consideration and review of such Board.
