20 abuse, sexual abuse, or egregious neglect is overturned 
21 through an action filed with the Illinois Civil Service

24 sent to the Registry, the employee's name shall be removed 
25 from the Registry.

8 Sec. 7. Injunctive relief; restitution; and civil 
9penalties. 

10 (a) Whenever the Attorney General or a State's Attorney 
11has reason to
believe that any person is using, has used, or is 
12about to use any method,
act or practice declared by this Act 
13to be
unlawful, and that proceedings would be in the public 
14interest, he or she
may bring an action in the name of the 
15People of the State against
such person to restrain by 
16preliminary or permanent injunction the use of
such method, 
17act or practice. The Court, in its discretion, may exercise

18all powers necessary, including but not limited to: 
19injunction;

9authority to impose a
civil penalty in a sum not to exceed 
10$50,000 per violation.

11 (c) In addition to any other civil penalty provided in 
12this Section, if a
person is found by the court to have engaged

21deposit such moneys into the
Fund monthly. All of the moneys 
22deposited into the Fund shall be appropriated
to the 
23Department on Aging for grants to senior centers in Illinois.

25over a civil
penalty
imposed by the court under this 
26subsection.

6 older.


7  (2) Whether the defendant knew or should have known 
8 that the defendant's
conduct was directed to a person 65 
9 years of age or older.


10  (3) Whether the person 65 years of age or older was 
11 substantially more
vulnerable to the defendant's conduct 
12 because of age, poor health, infirmity,
impaired 
13 understanding, restricted mobility, or disability, than 
14 other persons.


15  (4) Any other factors the court deems appropriate.

16 (d) This Section applies if: (i) a court orders a party to 
17make payments
to the Attorney General and the payments are to 
18be used for the operations of
the Office of the Attorney 
19General or (ii) a party agrees, in an Assurance of
Voluntary 
20Compliance under this Act, to make payments to the Attorney 
21General
for the operations of the Office of the Attorney 
22General.

23 (e) Moneys paid under any of the conditions described in 
24subsection (d)
shall be deposited into the Attorney General 
25Court Ordered and Voluntary
Compliance Payment Projects Fund, 
26which is created as a special fund in the
State Treasury. 
 
 
10200HB5186sam004- 177 -LRB102 24774 SPS 38585 a


1Moneys in the Fund shall be used, subject to appropriation,

2for the performance of any function pertaining to the exercise 
3of the duties of
the Attorney General including but not 
4limited to enforcement of any law of
this State and conducting 
5public education programs; however, any moneys in the

1 Section 30-5. The Illinois Act on the Aging is amended by 
2changing Section 4.02 as follows:



3 (20 ILCS 105/4.02) (from Ch. 23, par. 6104.02)


4 Sec. 4.02. Community Care Program. The Department shall 
5establish a program of services to
prevent unnecessary 
6institutionalization of persons age 60 and older in
need of 
7long term care or who are established as persons who suffer 
8from
Alzheimer's disease or a related disorder under the 
9Alzheimer's Disease
Assistance Act, thereby enabling them
to 
10remain in their own homes or in other living arrangements. 
11Such
preventive services, which may be coordinated with other 
12programs for the
aged and monitored by area agencies on aging 
13in cooperation with the
Department, may include, but are not 
14limited to, any or all of the following:

15  (a) (blank);

16  (b) (blank);

17  (c) home care aide services;

18  (d) personal assistant services;

19  (e) adult day services;

20  (f) home-delivered meals;

21  (g) education in self-care;

22  (h) personal care services;

23  (i) adult day health services;

24  (j) habilitation services;

 
 
10200HB5186sam004- 182 -LRB102 24774 SPS 38585 a


1  (k) respite care;

2  (k-5) community reintegration services;

3  (k-6) flexible senior services;
4  (k-7) medication management;
5  (k-8) emergency home response;

6  (l) other nonmedical social services that may enable 
7 the person
to become self-supporting; or

8  (m) clearinghouse for information provided by senior 
9 citizen home owners
who want to rent rooms to or share 
10 living space with other senior citizens.

11 The Department shall establish eligibility standards for 
12such
services. In determining the amount and nature of 
13services
for which a person may qualify, consideration shall 
14not be given to the
value of cash, property or other assets 
15held in the name of the person's
spouse pursuant to a written 
16agreement dividing marital property into equal
but separate 
17shares or pursuant to a transfer of the person's interest in a

18home to his spouse, provided that the spouse's share of the 
19marital
property is not made available to the person seeking 
20such services.

21 Beginning January 1, 2008, the Department shall require as 
22a condition of eligibility that all new financially eligible 
23applicants apply for and enroll in medical assistance under 
24Article V of the Illinois Public Aid Code in accordance with 
25rules promulgated by the Department.

26 The Department shall, in conjunction with the Department 
 
 
10200HB5186sam004- 183 -LRB102 24774 SPS 38585 a


1of Public Aid (now Department of Healthcare and Family 
2Services),
seek appropriate amendments under Sections 1915 and 
31924 of the Social
Security Act. The purpose of the amendments 
4shall be to extend eligibility
for home and community based 
5services under Sections 1915 and 1924 of the
Social Security 
6Act to persons who transfer to or for the benefit of a
spouse 
7those amounts of income and resources allowed under Section 
81924 of
the Social Security Act. Subject to the approval of 
9such amendments, the
Department shall extend the provisions of 
10Section 5-4 of the Illinois
Public Aid Code to persons who, but 
11for the provision of home or
community-based services, would 
12require the level of care provided in an
institution, as is 
13provided for in federal law. Those persons no longer
found to 
14be eligible for receiving noninstitutional services due to 
15changes
in the eligibility criteria shall be given 45 days 
16notice prior to actual
termination. Those persons receiving 
17notice of termination may contact the
Department and request 
18the determination be appealed at any time during the
45 day 
19notice period. The target
population identified for the 
20purposes of this Section are persons age 60
and older with an 
21identified service need. Priority shall be given to those
who 
22are at imminent risk of institutionalization. The services 
23shall be
provided to eligible persons age 60 and older to the 
24extent that the cost
of the services together with the other 
25personal maintenance
expenses of the persons are reasonably 
26related to the standards
established for care in a group 
 
 
10200HB5186sam004- 184 -LRB102 24774 SPS 38585 a


1facility appropriate to the person's
condition. These 
2non-institutional services, pilot projects or
experimental 
3facilities may be provided as part of or in addition to
those 
4authorized by federal law or those funded and administered by 
5the
Department of Human Services. The Departments of Human 
6Services, Healthcare and Family Services,
Public Health, 
7Veterans' Affairs, and Commerce and Economic Opportunity and

8other appropriate agencies of State, federal and local 
9governments shall
cooperate with the Department on Aging in 
10the establishment and development
of the non-institutional 
11services. The Department shall require an annual
audit from 
12all personal assistant
and home care aide vendors contracting 
13with
the Department under this Section. The annual audit shall 
14assure that each
audited vendor's procedures are in compliance 
15with Department's financial
reporting guidelines requiring an 
16administrative and employee wage and benefits cost split as 
17defined in administrative rules. The audit is a public record 
18under
the Freedom of Information Act. The Department shall 
19execute, relative to
the nursing home prescreening project, 
20written inter-agency
agreements with the Department of Human 
21Services and the Department
of Healthcare and Family Services, 
22to effect the following: (1) intake procedures and common

23eligibility criteria for those persons who are receiving 
24non-institutional
services; and (2) the establishment and 
25development of non-institutional
services in areas of the 
26State where they are not currently available or are

 
 
10200HB5186sam004- 185 -LRB102 24774 SPS 38585 a


1undeveloped. On and after July 1, 1996, all nursing home 
2prescreenings for
individuals 60 years of age or older shall 
3be conducted by the Department.

4 As part of the Department on Aging's routine training of 
5case managers and case manager supervisors, the Department may 
6include information on family futures planning for persons who 
7are age 60 or older and who are caregivers of their adult 
8children with developmental disabilities. The content of the 
9training shall be at the Department's discretion.
10 The Department is authorized to establish a system of 
11recipient copayment
for services provided under this Section, 
12such copayment to be based upon
the recipient's ability to pay 
13but in no case to exceed the actual cost of
the services 
14provided. Additionally, any portion of a person's income which

15is equal to or less than the federal poverty standard shall not 
16be
considered by the Department in determining the copayment. 
17The level of
such copayment shall be adjusted whenever 
18necessary to reflect any change
in the officially designated 
19federal poverty standard.

20 The Department, or the Department's authorized 
21representative, may
recover the amount of moneys expended for 
22services provided to or in
behalf of a person under this 
23Section by a claim against the person's
estate or against the 
24estate of the person's surviving spouse, but no
recovery may 
25be had until after the death of the surviving spouse, if
any, 
26and then only at such time when there is no surviving child who

 
 
10200HB5186sam004- 186 -LRB102 24774 SPS 38585 a


1is under age 21 or blind or who has a permanent and total 
2disability. This
paragraph, however, shall not bar recovery, 
3at the death of the person, of
moneys for services provided to 
4the person or in behalf of the person under
this Section to 
5which the person was not entitled;
provided that such recovery
