Illinois Compiled Statutes
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.

order may authorize a relative or friend of the client to transport the
client to the developmental disabilities facility if such person is able
to do so safely and humanely. When the Department indicates that it has
transportation to the facility available, the order may authorize the Department
to transport the client there. The court may order the sheriff of the county
in which such proceedings are held to transport the client to the facility.
(b) Upon the delivery of a client to a facility, in accordance with the
procedure set forth in this
Article, the facility director of the facility shall sign a receipt acknowledging
custody of the client and for

when such release is appropriate and

a Department developmental
disabilities facility under Section 4-701 or 4-702, the facility director
shall give written notice of the
discharge to the client, if he is 12 years of age or older, to his attorney
and guardian, if any, to the person who

district when appropriate. The notice, except that to the school
district, shall include the reason for the discharge and a
statement of the right to object.
(b) The client, if he is 12 years of age or older, may object to his
discharge or the attorney or guardian of a
client or the person who executed the application may object on behalf of
a client. Prior to discharge
a written objection shall be submitted to the facility director of the facility
where the client is located.
Upon receipt of an objection, the facility director shall promptly schedule
a hearing to be held at the
facility within 7 days pursuant to Section 4-209. No discharge shall proceed
pending hearing on an objection, unless the person objecting to the discharge
consents to discharge pending the hearing.
(c) At the hearing the Department shall have the burden of proving that
the client meets the
standard for discharge under this Chapter and under Section 15 of the Mental Health and
Developmental Disabilities Administrative Act. If the utilization
review committee finds that the Department has sustained its burden and that
the proposed discharge is based upon substantial evidence, it shall recommend
that the discharge proceed. If the utilization review committee does not so
find, it shall recommend that the client not be discharged but it may recommend
that the client be transferred to another facility which can provide
habilitation
appropriate to the condition and needs of the client. It may recommend that
the Department or other agency assist the person in obtaining such appropriate
habilitation.
