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.

Sec. 17a-4.
Grants for community-based youth services; Department of Human
Services.
(a) The Department of Human Services shall make grants for the purpose
of planning, establishing, operating, coordinating and evaluating programs
aimed at reducing or eliminating the involvement of youth in the child
welfare or juvenile justice systems. The programs shall include those
providing for more comprehensive and integrated community-based youth
services including Unified Delinquency Intervention Services programs and
for community services programs. The Department may authorize advance
disbursement of funds for such youth services programs. When the
appropriation for "comprehensive community-based service to youth" is equal
to or exceeds $5,000,000, the Department shall allocate the total amount of
such appropriated funds in the following manner:
(1) no more than 20% of the grant funds appropriated |
| shall be awarded by the Department for new program development and innovation;
|
|
(2) not less than 80% of grant funds appropriated
|
| shall be allocated to community-based youth services programs based upon population of youth under 18 years of age and other demographic variables defined by the Department of Human Services by rule, which may include weighting for service priorities relating to special needs identified in the annual plans of the regional youth planning committees established under this Act;
|
|
(3) if any amount so allocated under paragraph (2) of
|
| this subsection (a) remains unobligated such funds shall be reallocated in a manner equitable and consistent with the purpose of paragraph (2) of this subsection (a); and
|
|
(4) the local boards or local service systems shall
|
| certify prior to receipt of grant funds from the Department of Human Services that a 10% local public or private financial or in-kind commitment is allocated to supplement the State grant.
|
|
(b) Notwithstanding any provision in this Act
or rules promulgated under this Act to the contrary, unless
expressly prohibited by federal law or regulation, all individuals,
corporations, or other entities that provide medical or mental health services,
whether organized as for-profit or not-for-profit entities, shall be eligible
for consideration by the Department of Human Services to participate in any
program funded or administered by the Department. This subsection shall not
apply to the receipt of federal funds administered and transferred by the
Department for services when the federal government has specifically provided
that those funds may be received only by those entities organized as
not-for-profit entities.
