225 ILCS 65/50-28 new
Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Nurse Practice Act. Provides that, in order to protect the public and ensure safe and adequate health care services, if the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation finds that any person licensed or authorized to practice under the Act was not properly credentialed pursuant to the standards required at the time of application, the Department may temporarily suspend the person's license or authorization to practice without prior hearing until the Department receives satisfactory evidence of the licensee's overall qualifications. Provides that the Department shall notify the licensee of the temporary suspension at the licensee's address of record or email address of record. Provides that the licensee may request that the Board review the validity of the license within 30 days after the service of the notice and shall submit written evidence in support of the licensee's qualifications with the request for review. Provides that the licensee may seek an extension of time to provide such evidence, during which the suspension shall remain in effect. Provides that the Board, at its next regularly scheduled meeting, shall review the request and any written evidence provided by the licensee and make a final recommendation regarding the licensee's qualifications to the Director of the Division of Professional Regulation of the Department. Provides that, based upon the Board's final recommendation, the Director of the Division of Professional Regulation may issue an order withdrawing the license due to the licensee's lack of qualifications or lift the suspension of the license by stipulating terms and conditions of practice. Provides that withdrawal of the license alone shall not constitute discipline or be a bar to licensure if the licensee makes a subsequent reapplication that meets the qualifications under the Act. Provides that disciplinary proceedings may also be initiated pursuant to the Board's recommendation or Department findings and shall be conducted in the same manner as other disciplinary proceedings under the Act. Sets forth rulemaking authority for the Department.

Balanced Budget Note, House Floor Amendment No. 1 (Office of Management and Budget)
Please be advised that the Balanced Budget Note Act does not apply to Senate Bill 3496, as amended by House Amendment 1, as it is not a supplemental appropriation that increases or decreases appropriations. Under the Act, a balanced budget note must be prepared only for bills that change a general funds appropriation for the fiscal year in which the new bill is enacted.
State Debt Impact Note, House Floor Amendment No. 1 (Government Forecasting & Accountability)
SB 3496, House Amendment 1, would not change the amount of authorization for any type of State-issued bond, and, therefore, would not affect the level of State indebtedness.
Pension Note, House Floor Amendment No. 1 (Government Forecasting & Accountability)
SB 3496, as amended by HA 1, would not impact any public pension fund or retirement system in the State of Illinois.
Racial Impact Note, House Floor Amendment No. 1 (Dept. of Public Health)
The Illinois Department of Public Health does not have the data necessary to be responsive to this request. The Department does not have data on prescription drug prices or use, or the impact of this information on disadvantaged communities.
