Information maintained by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

If any recipient of services leaves a facility without being duly discharged or being free to do so, as provided in this Act, or if any resident is placed on conditional discharge or temporarily released from the facility and if such recipient is considered by the facility director to be in such condition as to require immediate detention for the protection of such recipient or other persons, then upon the request of the facility director of the facility, any peace officer shall apprehend such recipient and return him to the nearest Department facility which provides residential services. The Department shall then arrange for the return of the recipient to the appropriate facility. The cost of returning a recipient whose absence from a private facility or a Veterans Administration facility is unauthorized shall be paid by such facility. If the unauthorized absence is from a facility of the Department, such cost shall be paid by the Department in accordance with the fee schedule set forth in Section 19 of "An Act concerning fees and salaries, and to classify the several counties of the state with reference thereto", approved March 29, 1872, as now or hereafter amended.

405 ILCS 5/5-103

    (405 ILCS 5/5-103) (from Ch. 91 1/2, par. 5-103)
    Sec. 5-103. The Department, or any health officer of this State or any municipality where any person subject to involuntary admission or who meets the standard for judicial admission may be, may inquire into the manner in which any such person who is not a recipient of services in a state facility is cared for and maintained. Whenever the Department has reason to believe that any person asserted or adjudged to be subject to involuntary admission or to meet the standard for judicial admission is confined and may be wrongfully deprived of his liberty, or is cruelly, negligently or improperly treated, or that inadequate provision is made for his care, supervision and safekeeping, it may ascertain the facts or may order an investigation of the facts. The Department, or any duly authorized representative of the Department, may at any time visit and examine the persons in any place to ascertain if persons subject to involuntary admission or who meet the standard for judicial admission are kept therein. The Secretary, or any duly authorized representative of the Department conducting the investigation, may administer oaths and issue subpoenas requiring the attendance of and the giving of testimony by witnesses and subpoenas duces tecum requiring the production of books, papers, records, or memoranda. All subpoenas issued under this Act may be served by any person 18 years of age or older. The fees of witnesses for attendance and travel are the same as the fees of witnesses before the circuit courts of this State. Such fees are to be paid when the witness is excused from further attendance. When the witness is subpoenaed at the instance of the Department or any officer or employee thereof, such fees shall be paid in the same manner as other expenses of the Department, and when the witness is subpoenaed at the instance of any other party to any such proceeding the Department may require that the cost of service of the subpoena and the fee of the witness be borne by such party. In such case the Department, in its discretion, may require a deposit to cover the cost of such service and witness fees. A subpoena issued under this Section must be served in the same manner as a subpoena issued out of a court.
    Any court of this State, upon the application of the Department or any officer or employee thereof may compel the attendance of witnesses, the production of books, papers, records, or memoranda and the giving of testimony before the Department or any officer or employee thereof conducting an investigation or holding a hearing authorized by this Act, by an attachment for contempt, or otherwise, in the same manner as production of evidence may be compelled before that court. The Department or any officer or employee thereof, or any party interested in an investigation or hearing before the Department, may cause the depositions of witnesses residing within or without the State to be taken in the manner prescribed by law for like depositions in civil actions in courts of this State and, to that end, compel the attendance of witnesses and the production of books, papers, records or memoranda.
    Whenever the Department undertakes an investigation into the general management and administration of any facility, it may give notice to the Attorney General who shall appear personally or by an assistant and examine witnesses who may be in attendance and otherwise represent the Department in such investigation.
    Any recipient's records or confidential communications disclosed under this Section or under proceedings pursuant thereto shall not lose their confidential and privileged character as established by the "Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities Confidentiality Act", enacted by the 80th General Assembly; such records or confidential communications shall not be utilized for any other purpose nor be redisclosed or otherwise discoverable except in connection with such investigation and proceedings pursuant thereto.

    (405 ILCS 5/5-104) (from Ch. 91 1/2, par. 5-104)
    Sec. 5-104. The Department may prescribe and publish rules and regulations to carry out the purposes of this Act and to enforce the provisions this Act and may alter, amend and supplement such rules and regulations relating to this Act; but any person affected adversely by any order or ruling of the Department is entitled to review as provided in Section 6-100 of this Act. Pending final decision on such review, the acts, orders and rulings of the Department shall remain in full force and effect unless modified or suspended by order of court pending final judicial decision thereof.
    The provisions of the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act are hereby expressly adopted and shall apply to all administrative rules and procedures of the Department under this Act, except that in case of conflict between the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act and this Act the provisions of this Act shall control, and except that Section 5-35 of the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act relating to procedures for rule-making does not apply to the adoption of any rule required by federal law in connection with which the Department is precluded by law from exercising any discretion.
    As part of such rules and regulations, the Department shall require that any State operated facility and any community agency, whether public or private, which provides mental health or developmental disabilities services to any person shall, with respect to such person, use a uniform case opening form approved by the Department. The form shall require that such person's Social Security number be obtained and stated among other information requested. The facility or agency may assign a case number to each recipient of its services, and that number shall be provided to the Department on any reports requested by the Department.

405 ILCS 5/5-105

    (405 ILCS 5/5-105) (from Ch. 91 1/2, par. 5-105)
    Sec. 5-105. Each recipient of services provided directly or funded by the Department and the estate of that recipient is liable for the payment of sums representing charges for services to the recipient at a rate to be determined by the Department in accordance with this Act. If a recipient is a beneficiary of a trust described in Section 509 of the Illinois Trust Code, the trust shall not be considered a part of the recipient's estate and shall not be subject to payment for services to the recipient under this Section except to the extent permitted under Section 509 of the Illinois Trust Code. If the recipient is unable to pay or if the estate of the recipient is insufficient, the responsible relatives are severally liable for the payment of those sums or for the balance due in case less than the amount prescribed under this Act has been paid. If the recipient is under the age of 18, the recipient and responsible relative shall be liable for medical costs on a case-by-case basis for services for the diagnosis and treatment of conditions other than that child's disabling condition. The liability shall be the lesser of the cost of medical care or the amount of responsible relative liability established by the Department under Section 5-116. Any person 18 through 21 years of age who is receiving services under the Education for All Handicapped Children Act of 1975 (Public Law 94-142) or that person's responsible relative shall only be liable for medical costs on a case-by-case basis for services for the diagnosis and treatment of conditions other than the person's disabling condition. The liability shall be the lesser of the cost of medical care or the amount of responsible relative liability established by the Department under Section 5-116. In the case of any person who has received residential services from the Department, whether directly from the Department or through a public or private agency or entity funded by the Department, the liability shall be the same regardless of the source of services. The maximum services charges for each recipient assessed against responsible relatives collectively may not exceed financial liability determined from income in accordance with Section 5-116. Where the recipient is placed in a nursing home or other facility outside the Department, the Department may pay the actual cost of services in that facility and may collect reimbursement for the entire amount paid from the recipient or an amount not to exceed those amounts determined under Section 5-116 from responsible relatives according to their proportionate ability to contribute to those charges. The liability of each responsible relative for payment of services charges ceases when payments on the basis of financial ability have been made for a total of 12 years for any recipient, and any portion of that 12 year period during which a responsible relative has been determined by the Department to be financially unable to pay any services charges must be included in fixing the total period of liability. No child is liable under this Act for services to a parent. No spouse is liable under this Act for the services to the other spouse who willfully failed to contribute to the spouse's support for a period of 5 years immediately preceding his or her admission. Any spouse claiming exemption because of willful failure to support during any such 5 year period must furnish the Department with clear and convincing evidence substantiating the claim. No parent is liable under this Act for the services charges incurred by a child after the child reaches the age of majority. Nothing in this Section shall preclude the Department from applying federal benefits that are specifically provided for the care and treatment of a person with a disability toward the cost of care provided by a State facility or private agency.

405 ILCS 5/5-106

    (405 ILCS 5/5-106) (from Ch. 91 1/2, par. 5-106)
    Sec. 5-106. The rate at which sums for the services to recipients in a mental health or developmental disabilities program of the Department is calculated by the Department is the average per capita cost of the services to all such recipients, such cost to be computed by the Department on the general average per capita cost of operation of all State facilities for the fiscal year immediately preceding the period of State care for which the rate is being calculated, except the Department may, in its discretion, set the rate at a lesser amount than such average per capita cost. The Department in its rules and regulations may establish a maximum rate not to exceed the rate set by the Office of Health Finance for the cost of services furnished to persons in mental health or developmental disabilities programs involving residential care. If a recipient is placed in a residential program or facility outside the Department, the ability of responsible relatives to pay these costs shall be determined under Section 5-116 of this Act. The Department may supplement the contribution of these persons to private facilities after all other sources of income have been utilized, provided responsible relatives do not contribute to actual cost of services in excess of amounts charged to responsible relatives as established under Section 5-116 of this Act. The Department shall make an annual report to the Commission on Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities setting forth proposed changes in rules and regulations relating to Sections 5-105 through 5-115 and summarizing all amounts expended by the Department on behalf of recipients in private facilities. The Department may pay the actual costs of services or maintenance in such facility and may collect reimbursement for the entire amount paid from the recipient, or an amount not to exceed the amount listed in Section 5-106 of this Act from responsible relatives according to their proportionate ability to contribute to such charges. Lesser or greater amounts may be accepted by the Department when conditions warrant such action or when offered by persons not liable under this Act. The amounts so received shall be deposited with the State Treasurer and placed in the Mental Health Fund.

The Department may issue to any person liable under this Act a statement of amount due as treatment charges requiring him to pay monthly, quarterly or otherwise as may be arranged, an amount not exceeding that required under this Act, plus fees to which the Department may be entitled under the Act.
    Whenever an individual is covered, in part or in whole, under any type of insurance arrangement, private or public for services provided by the Department, the proceeds from such insurance shall be considered as part of the individual's ability to pay, notwithstanding that the insurance contract was entered into by a person other than the individual or notwithstanding that the premiums for such insurance were paid for by a person other than the individual.

The court shall order the payment of sums due for services charges for such period or periods of time as the circumstances require, except that no responsible relative may be held liable for charges for services furnished to a recipient if such charges were assessed more than 5 years prior to the time the action is filed; but such 5 year limitation does not apply to the liability of a recipient or recipient's estate.
