| 2 | | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| 3 | | represented in the General Assembly:
| 4 | | Section 5. The Ambulatory Surgical Treatment Center Act is | 5 | | amended by changing Section 6 as follows:
| 6 | | (210 ILCS 5/6) (from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 157-8.6)
| 7 | | Sec. 6.
Upon receipt of an application for a license, the | 8 | | Director may
deny the application for any of the following | 9 | | reasons:
| 10 | | (1) Conviction of the applicant, or if the applicant is | 11 | | a firm,
partnership
or association, of any of its members, | 12 | | or if a corporation, of any of its
officers or directors, | 13 | | or of the person designated to manage or supervise
the | 14 | | facility, of a felony, or of 2 or more misdemeanors | 15 | | involving moral
turpitude, as shown by a certified copy of | 16 | | the record of the court of
conviction, or, in the case of | 17 | | the conviction of a misdemeanor by a court not
of record, | 18 | | as shown by other evidence, if the Director determines, | 19 | | after
investigation, that such person has not been | 20 | | sufficiently rehabilitated to
warrant the public trust; or | 21 | | other satisfactory evidence that the moral
character of the | 22 | | applicant, or manager, or supervisor of the facility is not
| 23 | | reputable;

|
| 1 | | (2) The licensure status or record of the applicant, or | 2 | | if the applicant
is a firm, partnership or association, of | 3 | | any of its members, or if a
corporation, of any of its | 4 | | officers or directors, or of the person designated
to | 5 | | manage or supervise the facility, from any other state | 6 | | where the applicant
has done business in a similar capacity | 7 | | indicates that granting a license to
the applicant would be | 8 | | detrimental to the interests of the public; or
| 9 | | (3) The applicant has insufficient financial or other | 10 | | resources to operate
and conduct the facility in accordance | 11 | | with the requirements of this Act
and the minimum | 12 | | standards, rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
| 13 | | The Director shall only issue a license if he finds that | 14 | | the applicant
facility complies with this Act and the rules, | 15 | | regulations and standards
promulgated pursuant thereto and:
| 16 | | (a) is under the medical supervision of one or more | 17 | | physicians;
| 18 | | (b) permits a surgical procedure to be performed only | 19 | | by a physician, podiatric physician,
or dentist who at the | 20 | | time is privileged to have his patients
admitted by himself | 21 | | or an associated physician and is himself privileged to
| 22 | | perform surgical procedures in at least one Illinois | 23 | | hospital . A dentist may be privileged at the ambulatory | 24 | | surgical treatment center if it is determined that the | 25 | | patient under the care of the dentist requires sedation | 26 | | beyond the training that the dentist possesses. The |
| | | SB1291 Enrolled | - 3 - | LRB101 04037 CPF 49045 b |
|
| 1 | | determination of need for sedation shall be made by the | 2 | | medical director of the facility where the procedure is to | 3 | | be performed. A dentist performing a surgical procedure | 4 | | requiring sedation at a facility must either have admitting | 5 | | privileges at a nearby hospital where patients would | 6 | | receive care in the event of an emergency arising during a | 7 | | dental surgical procedure or have a memorandum of | 8 | | understanding with a physician who has admitting | 9 | | privileges at such a hospital ; and
| 10 | | (c) maintains adequate medical records for each | 11 | | patient.
| 12 | | A license, unless sooner suspended or revoked, shall be | 13 | | renewable
annually upon approval by the Department and payment | 14 | | of a license fee of
$300. Each license shall be issued only for | 15 | | the premises and persons named in
the application and shall not | 16 | | be transferable or assignable. The licenses shall
be posted in | 17 | | a conspicuous place on the licensed premises. A placard or
| 18 | | registry of all physicians on staff in the facility shall be | 19 | | centrally located
and available for inspection to any | 20 | | interested person. The Department may,
either before or after | 21 | | the issuance of a license, request the cooperation of
the State | 22 | | Fire Marshal. The report and recommendations of this agency | 23 | | shall be
in writing and shall state with particularity its | 24 | | findings with respect to
compliance or noncompliance with such | 25 | | minimum standards, rules and regulations.
| 26 | | The Director may issue a provisional license to any |
| | | SB1291 Enrolled | - 4 - | LRB101 04037 CPF 49045 b |
|
| 1 | | ambulatory
surgical treatment center which does not | 2 | | substantially comply with the
provisions of this Act and the | 3 | | standards, rules and regulations
promulgated by virtue thereof | 4 | | provided that he finds that such
ambulatory surgical treatment | 5 | | center will undertake changes and
corrections which upon | 6 | | completion will render the ambulatory surgical
treatment | 7 | | center in substantial compliance with the provisions of this
| 8 | | Act, and the standards, rules and regulations adopted | 9 | | hereunder, and
provided that the health and safety of the | 10 | | patients of the ambulatory
surgical treatment center will be | 11 | | protected during the period for which
such provisional license | 12 | | is issued. The Director shall advise the
licensee of the | 13 | | conditions under which such provisional license is
issued, | 14 | | including the manner in which the facilities fail to comply | 15 | | with
the provisions of the Act, standards, rules and | 16 | | regulations, and the
time within which the changes and | 17 | | corrections necessary for such
ambulatory surgical treatment | 18 | | center to substantially comply with this
Act, and the | 19 | | standards, rules and regulations of the Department relating
| 20 | | thereto shall be completed.
| 21 | | A person or facility not licensed under this Act or the | 22 | | Hospital Licensing
Act shall not hold itself out to the public | 23 | | as a "surgery center" or as a
"center for surgery".
