Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS)

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.

    (This Section may contain text from a Public Act with a delayed effective date)
    Sec. 3-305.7. Ordered readmission of a resident.
    (a) A facility that complies with an order of the Department to readmit a resident that has been deemed to have been unlawfully discharged shall notify the Department within 10 business days after the resident has been readmitted to the facility. The notice provided to the Department shall include, but not be limited to, the following information:
        (1) the executed order to readmit the resident that
    
was issued by the Department;
        (2) the Administrative Law Judge's Report and
    
Recommendations submitted by the administrative law judge;
        (3) the reason or reasons for which the resident was
    
involuntarily discharged and an explanation of why the facility determined it should discharge the resident prior to the order to readmit;
        (4) the interventions the facility had taken to
    
attempt to mitigate or correct the behavior or condition of the resident who was involuntarily discharged and ordered to be readmitted;
        (5) any concerns that the facility maintains about
    
risks to safety associated with readmission of the resident; and
        (6) a copy of the resident's current face sheet that
    
indicates the readmission date. Unique identifiers, such as the resident's social security number and Medicare, Medicaid, or insurance number shall be redacted.
    (b) Upon readmission of a resident following an executed order by the Department, the facility shall conduct a reassessment of the resident to determine any necessary changes to the resident's care plan. The assessment shall include identification of any steps the facility could take to attempt to mitigate or correct the behavior or condition of the resident that resulted in the resident being involuntarily discharged.
    (c) If a resident whose readmission was ordered by the Department engages in conduct similar to that which led to the resident's involuntary discharge and for which the facility documented concerns pursuant to subsection (a), the Department shall take into account the notice provided by the facility under this Section in considering whether to impose a fine.
