Amends the Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities Code. Makes changes to a provision concerning initial Department of Human Services investigations of a facility employee's alleged abuse, neglect, or financial exploitation of a recipient of mental health or developmental disability services. Expands the provision to include allegations of material obstruction of an investigation, physical abuse, sexual abuse, non-de minimis financial exploitation (such as financial exploitation totaling a cumulative value equal to or greater than $100), or egregious neglect. Adds provisions concerning Department investigations where a facility employee is the perpetrator of, at most, neglect, de minimis financial exploitation (such as financial exploitation totaling a cumulative value of less than $100), or mental abuse.
House Committee Amendment No. 2: Changes the amendatory provisions such that a facility employee shall be barred from further contact with a facility resident if the Department of Human Services' initial investigation indicates that the facility employee is (rather than may be) the perpetrator of non-de minimis financial exploitation (such as financial exploitation totaling a cumulative value equal to or greater than $20 (rather than $100)). Adds physical abuse to the types of conduct that will result in a facility employee being barred from further contact with a facility resident.
Senate Committee Amendment No. 1: Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Reinserts the provisions of the engrossed bill with the following addition: Provides that nothing in the amendatory Act is intended to include an employee of a hospital licensed under the Hospital Licensing Act or operated under the University of Illinois Hospital Act or a hospital affiliate.
