| 22 | appropriate, the families of those persons) to lead healthy  | ||||||
| 23 | lives.  | ||||||

| 1 |  The human, social, and economic benefits of preventing  | ||||||
| 2 | these substance use disorders are great, and it is imperative  | ||||||

| 4 | delivery of prevention, early intervention, treatment, and  | ||||||
| 5 | other recovery support services in Illinois. | ||||||

| 16 |  Sec. 15-5. Applicability.  | ||||||
| 17 |  (a) It is unlawful for any person to provide treatment for  | ||||||
| 18 | substance use or gambling disorders or to provide services as  | ||||||
| 19 | specified in subsections (a) and (b) of Section 15-10 of this  | ||||||
| 20 | Act unless the person is licensed to do so by the Department.  | ||||||
| 21 | The performance of these activities by any person in violation  | ||||||
| 22 | of this Act is declared to be inimical to the public health and  | ||||||
| 23 | welfare, and to be a public nuisance. The Department may  | ||||||
| 24 | undertake such inspections and investigations as it deems  | ||||||
| 25 | appropriate to determine whether licensable activities are  | ||||||
 
  | |||||||
  | |||||||
| 1 | being conducted without the requisite license. | ||||||
| 2 |  (b) Nothing in this Act shall be construed to require any  | ||||||
| 3 | hospital, as defined by the Hospital Licensing Act, required  | ||||||
| 4 | to have a license from the Department of Public Health  | ||||||
| 5 | pursuant to the Hospital Licensing Act to obtain any license  | ||||||
| 6 | under this Act for any substance use disorder treatment  | ||||||
| 7 | services operated on the licensed premises of the hospital,  | ||||||
| 8 | and operated by the hospital or its designated agent, provided  | ||||||
| 9 | that such services are covered within the scope of the  | ||||||
| 10 | Hospital Licensing Act. No person or facility required to be  | ||||||
| 11 | licensed under this Act shall be required to obtain a license  | ||||||
| 12 | pursuant to the Hospital Licensing Act or the Child Care Act of  | ||||||
| 13 | 1969. | ||||||
| 14 |  (c) Nothing in this Act shall be construed to require an  | ||||||
| 15 | individual employee of a licensed program to be licensed under  | ||||||
| 16 | this Act. | ||||||
| 17 |  (d) Nothing in this Act shall be construed to require any  | ||||||
| 18 | private professional practice, whether by an individual  | ||||||
| 19 | practitioner, by a partnership, or by a duly incorporated  | ||||||
| 20 | professional service corporation, that provides outpatient  | ||||||
| 21 | treatment for substance use disorders to be licensed under  | ||||||
| 22 | this Act, provided that the treatment is rendered personally  | ||||||
| 23 | by the professional in his own name and the professional is  | ||||||
| 24 | authorized by individual professional licensure or  | ||||||
| 25 | registration from the Department of Financial and Professional  | ||||||
| 26 | Regulation to provide substance use disorder treatment  | ||||||
 
  | |||||||
  | |||||||
| 1 | unsupervised. This exemption shall not apply to such private  | ||||||
| 2 | professional practice that provides or holds itself out, as  | ||||||
| 3 | defined in Section 1-10, as providing substance use disorder  | ||||||
| 4 | outpatient treatment. This exemption shall also not apply to  | ||||||
| 5 | licensable intervention services, research, or residential  | ||||||
| 6 | treatment services as defined in this Act or by rule. | ||||||
| 7 |  Notwithstanding any other provisions of this subsection to  | ||||||
| 8 | the contrary, persons licensed to practice medicine in all of  | ||||||
| 9 | its branches in Illinois shall not require licensure under  | ||||||
| 10 | this Act unless their private professional practice provides  | ||||||
| 11 | and holds itself out, as defined in Section 1-10, as providing  | ||||||
| 12 | substance use disorder outpatient treatment. | ||||||
| 13 |  (e) Nothing in this Act shall be construed to require any  | ||||||
| 14 | employee assistance program operated by an employer or any  | ||||||
| 15 | intervenor program operated by a professional association to  | ||||||
| 16 | obtain any license pursuant to this Act to perform services  | ||||||
| 17 | that do not constitute licensable treatment or intervention as  | ||||||
| 18 | defined in this Act. | ||||||
| 19 |  (f) Before any violation of this Act is reported by the  | ||||||
| 20 | Department or any of its agents to any State's Attorney for the  | ||||||
| 21 | institution of a criminal proceeding, the person against whom  | ||||||
| 22 | such proceeding is contemplated shall be given appropriate  | ||||||
| 23 | notice and an opportunity to present his views before the  | ||||||
| 24 | Department or its designated agent, either orally or in  | ||||||
| 25 | writing, in person or by an attorney, with regard to such  | ||||||
| 26 | contemplated proceeding. Nothing in this Act shall be  | ||||||
 
  | |||||||
  | |||||||
| 1 | construed as requiring the Department to report minor  | ||||||
| 2 | violations of this Act whenever the Department believes that  | ||||||
| 3 | the public interest would be adequately served by a suitable  | ||||||
| 4 | written notice or warning. | ||||||

| 8 | or program may provide the services or conduct the activities  | ||||||
| 9 | described in this Section without first obtaining a license  | ||||||
| 10 | therefor from the Department, unless otherwise exempted under  | ||||||
| 11 | this Act. The Department shall, by rule, provide requirements  | ||||||
| 12 | for each of the following types of licenses and categories of  | ||||||
| 13 | service: | ||||||

| 15 |  substance use or gambling disorder authorized by a  | ||||||
| 16 |  treatment license are Early Intervention, Outpatient,  | ||||||
| 17 |  Intensive Outpatient/Partial Hospitalization, Subacute  | ||||||
| 18 |  Residential/Inpatient, and Withdrawal Management.  | ||||||
| 19 |  Medication assisted treatment that includes methadone used  | ||||||
| 20 |  for an opioid use disorder can be licensed as an adjunct to  | ||||||
| 21 |  any of the treatment levels of care specified in this  | ||||||
| 22 |  Section.  | ||||||
| 23 |   (b) Intervention: Categories of intervention service  | ||||||
| 24 |  authorized by an intervention license are DUI Evaluation,  | ||||||
| 25 |  DUI Risk Education, Designated Program, and Recovery Homes  | ||||||
 
  | |||||||
  | |||||||
| 1 |  for persons in any stage of recovery from a substance use  | ||||||
| 2 |  or gambling disorder. Harm Reduction Services is another  | ||||||
| 3 |  category of intervention licensure that may be issued if  | ||||||
| 4 |  and when legal authorization is adopted to allow for  | ||||||
| 5 |  services and upon adoption of administrative or funding  | ||||||
| 6 |  rules that govern the delivery of these services.  | ||||||
| 7 |  The Department may, under procedures established by rule  | ||||||
| 8 | and upon a showing of good cause for such, exempt off-site  | ||||||
| 9 | services from having to obtain a separate license for services  | ||||||
| 10 | conducted away from the provider's licensed location. | ||||||

| 12 |  (20 ILCS 301/20-5) | ||||||
| 13 |  Sec. 20-5. Development of statewide prevention system.  | ||||||
| 14 |  (a) The Department shall develop and implement a  | ||||||
| 15 | comprehensive, statewide, community-based strategy to reduce  | ||||||
| 16 | substance use and gambling disorders and prevent the misuse of  | ||||||
| 17 | illegal and legal drugs by persons of all ages, and to prevent  | ||||||
| 18 | the use of alcohol by minors. The system created to implement  | ||||||
| 19 | this strategy shall be based on the premise that coordination  | ||||||
| 20 | among and integration between all community and governmental  | ||||||
| 21 | systems will facilitate effective and efficient program  | ||||||
| 22 | implementation and utilization of existing resources. | ||||||
| 23 |  (b) The statewide system developed under this Section may  | ||||||
| 24 | be adopted by administrative rule or funded as a grant award  | ||||||
| 25 | condition and shall be responsible for: | ||||||
 
  | |||||||
  | |||||||
| 1 |   (1) Providing programs and technical assistance to  | ||||||
| 2 |  improve the ability of Illinois communities and schools to  | ||||||
| 3 |  develop, implement and evaluate prevention programs. | ||||||

| 5 |  among the Department, Department-funded prevention  | ||||||
| 6 |  programs, other community-based prevention providers and  | ||||||
| 7 |  other State, regional, or local systems or agencies that  | ||||||
| 8 |  have an interest in substance use disorder prevention. | ||||||
| 9 |  (c) In developing, implementing, and advocating for this  | ||||||
| 10 | statewide strategy and system, the Department may engage in,  | ||||||
| 11 | but shall not be limited to, the following activities: | ||||||
| 12 |   (1) Establishing and conducting programs to provide  | ||||||
| 13 |  awareness and knowledge of the nature and extent of  | ||||||
| 14 |  substance use and gambling disorders and their effect on  | ||||||
| 15 |  individuals, families, and communities. | ||||||
| 16 |   (2) Conducting or providing prevention skill building  | ||||||
| 17 |  or education through the use of structured experiences. | ||||||
| 18 |   (3) Developing, supporting, and advocating with new  | ||||||
| 19 |  and existing local community coalitions or  | ||||||
| 20 |  neighborhood-based grassroots networks using action  | ||||||

| 22 |  regarding substance use and gambling disorders in their  | ||||||
| 23 |  communities. | ||||||
| 24 |   (4) Encouraging, supporting, and advocating for  | ||||||

| 8 |  (d) In providing leadership to this system, the Department  | ||||||
| 9 | shall take into account, wherever possible, the needs and  | ||||||
| 10 | requirements of local communities. The Department shall also  | ||||||
| 11 | involve, wherever possible, local communities in its statewide  | ||||||
| 12 | planning efforts. These planning efforts shall include, but  | ||||||
| 13 | shall not be limited to, in cooperation with local community  | ||||||
| 14 | representatives and Department-funded agencies, the analysis  | ||||||
| 15 | and application of results of local needs assessments, as well  | ||||||
| 16 | as a process for the integration of an evaluation component  | ||||||
| 17 | into the system. The results of this collaborative planning  | ||||||
| 18 | effort shall be taken into account by the Department in making  | ||||||
| 19 | decisions regarding the allocation of prevention resources. | ||||||
| 20 |  (e) Prevention programs funded in whole or in part by the  | ||||||
| 21 | Department shall maintain staff whose skills, training,  | ||||||

| 2 |  (a) For purposes of this Section, "patient" means any  | ||||||
| 3 | person who is receiving or has received early intervention,  | ||||||
| 4 | treatment, or other recovery support services under this Act  | ||||||
| 5 | or any category of service licensed as "intervention" under  | ||||||

| 8 | or privileges guaranteed by law, the Constitution of the  | ||||||
| 9 | United States of America, or the Constitution of the State of  | ||||||
| 10 | Illinois solely because of his or her status as a patient.  | ||||||
| 11 |  (c) Persons who have substance use or gambling disorders  | ||||||
| 12 | who are also suffering from medical conditions shall not be  | ||||||
| 13 | discriminated against in admission or treatment by any  | ||||||
| 14 | hospital that receives support in any form supported in whole  | ||||||

| 25 | shall be assured and protected within the constraints of his  | ||||||
| 26 | or her individual treatment.  | ||||||
 
  | |||||||
  | |||||||
| 1 |  (g) Treatment services shall be provided in the least  | ||||||
| 2 | restrictive environment possible.  | ||||||
| 3 |  (h) Each patient receiving treatment services shall be  | ||||||
| 4 | provided an individual treatment plan, which shall be  | ||||||
| 5 | periodically reviewed and updated as mandated by  | ||||||
| 6 | administrative rule.  | ||||||
| 7 |  (i) Treatment shall be person-centered, meaning that every  | ||||||
| 8 | patient shall be permitted to participate in the planning of  | ||||||
| 9 | his or her total care and medical treatment to the extent that  | ||||||
| 10 | his or her condition permits.  | ||||||
| 11 |  (j) A person shall not be denied treatment solely because  | ||||||
| 12 | he or she has withdrawn from treatment against medical advice  | ||||||
| 13 | on a prior occasion or had prior treatment episodes. | ||||||
| 14 |  (k) The patient in residential treatment shall be  | ||||||
| 15 | permitted visits by family and significant others, unless such  | ||||||
| 16 | visits are clinically contraindicated.  | ||||||

| 24 | financial affairs unless the patient or the patient's  | ||||||
| 25 | guardian, or if the patient is a minor, the patient's parent,  | ||||||
| 26 | authorizes another competent person to do so.  | ||||||
 
  | |||||||
  | |||||||
| 1 |  (o) A patient shall be permitted to request the opinion of  | ||||||
| 2 | a consultant at his or her own expense, or to request an  | ||||||
| 3 | in-house review of a treatment plan, as provided in the  | ||||||
| 4 | specific procedures of the provider. A treatment provider is  | ||||||
| 5 | not liable for the negligence of any consultant. | ||||||
| 6 |  (p) Unless otherwise prohibited by State or federal law,  | ||||||
| 7 | every patient shall be permitted to obtain from his or her own  | ||||||
| 8 | physician, the treatment provider, or the treatment provider's  | ||||||
| 9 | consulting physician complete and current information  | ||||||
| 10 | concerning the nature of care, procedures, and treatment that  | ||||||
| 11 | he or she will receive.  | ||||||
| 12 |  (q) A patient shall be permitted to refuse to participate  | ||||||
| 13 | in any experimental research or medical procedure without  | ||||||
| 14 | compromising his or her access to other, non-experimental  | ||||||
| 15 | services. Before a patient is placed in an experimental  | ||||||
| 16 | research or medical procedure, the provider must first obtain  | ||||||
| 17 | his or her informed written consent or otherwise comply with  | ||||||
| 18 | the federal requirements regarding the protection of human  | ||||||
| 19 | subjects contained in 45 CFR Part 46. | ||||||
| 20 |  (r) All medical treatment and procedures shall be  | ||||||
| 21 | administered as ordered by a physician and in accordance with  | ||||||
| 22 | all Department rules. | ||||||
| 23 |  (s) Every patient in treatment shall be permitted to  | ||||||
| 24 | refuse medical treatment and to know the consequences of such  | ||||||
| 25 | action. Such refusal by a patient shall free the treatment  | ||||||
| 26 | licensee from the obligation to provide the treatment.  | ||||||
 
  | |||||||
  | |||||||
| 1 |  (t) Unless otherwise prohibited by State or federal law,  | ||||||
| 2 | every patient, patient's guardian, or parent, if the patient  | ||||||
| 3 | is a minor, shall be permitted to inspect and copy all clinical  | ||||||
| 4 | and other records kept by the intervention or treatment  | ||||||
| 5 | licensee or by his or her physician concerning his or her care  | ||||||
| 6 | and maintenance. The licensee or physician may charge a  | ||||||
| 7 | reasonable fee for the duplication of a record. | ||||||
| 8 |  (u) No owner, licensee, administrator, employee, or agent  | ||||||
| 9 | of a licensed intervention or treatment program shall abuse or  | ||||||
| 10 | neglect a patient. It is the duty of any individual who becomes  | ||||||
| 11 | aware of such abuse or neglect to report it to the Department  | ||||||
| 12 | immediately. | ||||||
| 13 |  (v) The licensee may refuse access to any person if the  | ||||||
| 14 | actions of that person are or could be injurious to the health  | ||||||
| 15 | and safety of a patient or the licensee, or if the person seeks  | ||||||
| 16 | access for commercial purposes. | ||||||
| 17 |  (w) All patients admitted to community-based treatment  | ||||||
| 18 | facilities shall be considered voluntary treatment patients  | ||||||
| 19 | and such patients shall not be contained within a locked  | ||||||
| 20 | setting.  | ||||||
| 21 |  (x) Patients and their families or legal guardians shall  | ||||||
| 22 | have the right to present complaints to the provider or the  | ||||||
| 23 | Department concerning the quality of care provided to the  | ||||||
| 24 | patient, without threat of discharge or reprisal in any form  | ||||||
| 25 | or manner whatsoever. The complaint process and procedure  | ||||||
| 26 | shall be adopted by the Department by rule. The treatment  | ||||||
 
  | |||||||
  | |||||||
| 1 | provider shall have in place a mechanism for receiving and  | ||||||
| 2 | responding to such complaints, and shall inform the patient  | ||||||
| 3 | and the patient's family or legal guardian of this mechanism  | ||||||
| 4 | and how to use it. The provider shall analyze any complaint  | ||||||
| 5 | received and, when indicated, take appropriate corrective  | ||||||
| 6 | action. Every patient and his or her family member or legal  | ||||||
| 7 | guardian who makes a complaint shall receive a timely response  | ||||||
| 8 | from the provider that substantively addresses the complaint.  | ||||||
| 9 | The provider shall inform the patient and the patient's family  | ||||||
| 10 | or legal guardian about other sources of assistance if the  | ||||||
| 11 | provider has not resolved the complaint to the satisfaction of  | ||||||
| 12 | the patient or the patient's family or legal guardian.  | ||||||
| 13 |  (y) A patient may refuse to perform labor at a program  | ||||||
| 14 | unless such labor is a part of the patient's individual  | ||||||
| 15 | treatment plan as documented in the patient's clinical record. | ||||||
| 16 |  (z) A person who is in need of services may apply for  | ||||||
| 17 | voluntary admission in the manner and with the rights provided  | ||||||
| 18 | for under regulations promulgated by the Department. If a  | ||||||
| 19 | person is refused admission, then staff, subject to rules  | ||||||
| 20 | promulgated by the Department, shall refer the person to  | ||||||
| 21 | another facility or to other appropriate services.  | ||||||
| 22 |  (aa) No patient shall be denied services based solely on  | ||||||
| 23 | HIV status. Further, records and information governed by the  | ||||||
| 24 | AIDS Confidentiality Act and the AIDS Confidentiality and  | ||||||
| 25 | Testing Code (77 Ill. Adm. Code 697) shall be maintained in  | ||||||
| 26 | accordance therewith. | ||||||
 
  | |||||||
  | |||||||
| 1 |  (bb) Records of the identity, diagnosis, prognosis or  | ||||||
| 2 | treatment of any patient maintained in connection with the  | ||||||
| 3 | performance of any service or activity relating to substance  | ||||||
| 4 | use or gambling disorder education, early intervention,  | ||||||

| 21 | and treatment of low income pregnant women. The program shall  | ||||||
| 22 | be located anywhere in the State outside of Cook County in an  | ||||||
| 23 | area of high density population having a disproportionate  | ||||||

| 25 |  (3) In implementing the programs established under this  | ||||||
| 26 | subsection, the Department shall contract with existing  | ||||||
 
  | |||||||
  | |||||||

| 6 |  drug users,  | ||||||
| 7 |   (B) have minor children, | ||||||

| 2 |  Sec. 35-10. Adolescent Family Life Program.  | ||||||
| 3 |  (a) The General Assembly finds and declares the following: | ||||||
| 4 |   (1) In Illinois, a substantial number of babies are  | ||||||
| 5 |  born each year to adolescent mothers between 12 and 19  | ||||||
| 6 |  years of age. | ||||||
| 7 |   (2) A substantial percentage of pregnant adolescents  | ||||||
| 8 |  have substance use disorders or live in environments in  | ||||||
| 9 |  which substance use disorders occur and thus are at risk  | ||||||
| 10 |  of exposing their infants to dangerous and harmful  | ||||||
| 11 |  circumstances. | ||||||
| 12 |   (3) It is difficult to provide substance use disorder  | ||||||
| 13 |  counseling for adolescents in settings designed to serve  | ||||||
| 14 |  adults. | ||||||
| 15 |  (b) To address the findings set forth in subsection (a),  | ||||||
| 16 | and subject to appropriation, the Department may establish and  | ||||||
| 17 | fund treatment strategies to meet the developmental, social,  | ||||||
| 18 | and educational needs of high-risk pregnant adolescents and  | ||||||
| 19 | shall do the following: | ||||||
| 20 |   (1) To the maximum extent feasible and appropriate,  | ||||||
| 21 |  utilize existing services and funding rather than create  | ||||||
| 22 |  new, duplicative services. | ||||||
| 23 |   (2) Include plans for coordination and collaboration  | ||||||
| 24 |  with existing perinatal substance use disorder services. | ||||||
| 25 |   (3) Include goals and objectives for reducing the  | ||||||
 
  | |||||||
  | |||||||
| 1 |  incidence of high-risk pregnant adolescents. | ||||||
| 2 |   (4) Be culturally and linguistically appropriate to  | ||||||
| 3 |  the population being served. | ||||||
| 4 |   (5) Include staff development training by substance  | ||||||
| 5 |  use and other disorder counselors. | ||||||
| 6 |  As used in this Section, "high-risk pregnant adolescent"  | ||||||
| 7 | means a person at least 12 but not more than 18 years of age  | ||||||

| 18 | shall, directly or through subcontract, make loans to assist  | ||||||
| 19 | in underwriting the costs of housing in which there may reside  | ||||||
| 20 | individuals who are recovering from substance use or gambling  | ||||||
| 21 | disorders, and who are seeking an alcohol-free, gambling-free,  | ||||||
| 22 | or drug-free environment in which to live. Consistent with  | ||||||
| 23 | federal law and regulation, the Department may establish  | ||||||
| 24 | guidelines for approving the use and management of monies  | ||||||
| 25 | loaned from the fund, the operation of group homes receiving  | ||||||
 
  | |||||||
  | |||||||
| 1 | loans under this Section and the repayment of monies loaned. | ||||||
| 2 |  (b) There shall be deposited into the fund such amounts  | ||||||
| 3 | including, but not limited to: | ||||||
| 4 |   (1) All receipts, including principal and interest  | ||||||
| 5 |  payments and royalties, from any applicable loan agreement  | ||||||
| 6 |  made from the fund. | ||||||
| 7 |   (2) All proceeds of assets of whatever nature received  | ||||||
| 8 |  by the Department as a result of default or delinquency  | ||||||
| 9 |  with respect to loan agreements made from the fund,  | ||||||
| 10 |  including proceeds from the sale, disposal, lease or  | ||||||
| 11 |  rental of real or personal property that the Department  | ||||||
| 12 |  may receive as a result thereof. | ||||||

| 14 |  Assembly, or any gifts or grants made by any person to the  | ||||||
| 15 |  fund. | ||||||
| 16 |   (4) Any income received from interest on investments  | ||||||
| 17 |  of monies in the fund. | ||||||
| 18 |  (c) The Treasurer may invest monies in the fund in  | ||||||
| 19 | securities constituting obligations of the United States  | ||||||
| 20 | government, or in obligations the principal of and interest on  | ||||||
| 21 | which are guaranteed by the United States government, or in  | ||||||
| 22 | certificates of deposit of any State or national bank which  | ||||||
| 23 | are fully secured by obligations guaranteed as to principal  | ||||||
| 24 | and interest by the United States government. | ||||||

| 7 | intervention services shall be adjusted upward by an amount  | ||||||
| 8 | equal to the Consumer Price Index-U from the previous year,  | ||||||
| 9 | not to exceed 2% in any State fiscal year. If there is a  | ||||||
| 10 | decrease in the Consumer Price Index-U, rates shall remain  | ||||||
