Sec. 2. Purpose of the Act. This Act shall establish a procedure (1) which requires a person
establishing, constructing or modifying a health care facility, as
herein defined, to have the qualifications, background, character and
financial resources to adequately provide a proper service for the
community; (2) that promotes the orderly and
economic development of health care facilities in the State of Illinois
that avoids unnecessary duplication of such facilities; and (3) that
promotes planning for and development of health care facilities needed
for comprehensive health care especially in areas where the health
planning process has identified unmet needs.
The changes made to this Act by this amendatory Act of the 96th General Assembly are intended to accomplish the following objectives: to improve the financial ability of the public to obtain necessary health services; to establish an orderly and comprehensive health care delivery system that will guarantee the availability of quality health care to the general public; to maintain and improve the provision of essential health care services and increase the accessibility of those services to the medically underserved and indigent; to assure that the reduction and closure of health care services or facilities is performed in an orderly and timely manner, and that these actions are deemed to be in the best interests of the public; and to assess the financial burden to patients caused by unnecessary health care construction and modification. Evidence-based assessments, projections and decisions will be applied regarding capacity, quality, value and equity in the delivery of health care services in Illinois. The integrity of the Certificate of Need process is ensured through revised ethics and communications procedures. Cost containment and support for safety net services must continue to be central tenets of the Certificate of Need process.

Sec. 5. Construction, modification, or establishment of health care facilities or acquisition of major medical equipment; permits or exemptions. No person shall construct, modify or establish a
health care facility or acquire major medical equipment without first
obtaining a permit or exemption from the State
Board. The State Board shall not delegate to the staff of
the State Board or any other person or entity the authority to grant
permits or exemptions whenever the staff or other person or

A permit or exemption shall be obtained prior to the acquisition
of major medical equipment or to the construction or modification of a
health care facility which:
A permit shall be valid only for the defined construction or modifications,
site, amount and person named in the application for such permit. The State Board may approve the transfer of an existing permit without regard to whether the permit to be transferred has yet been financially committed, except for permits to establish a new facility or category of service.

time as the project has been completed,
provided that the project
commences and proceeds to completion with due diligence by the completion date or extension date approved by the Board.
A permit holder must do the following: (i) submit the final completion and cost report for the project within 90 days after the approved project completion date or extension date and (ii) submit annual progress reports no earlier than 30 days before and no later than 30 days after each anniversary date of the Board's approval of the permit until the project is completed. To maintain a valid permit and to monitor progress toward project commencement and completion, routine post-permit reports shall be limited to annual progress reports and the final completion and cost report. Annual progress reports shall include information regarding the committed funds expended toward the approved project. For projects to be completed in 12 months or less, the permit holder shall report financial commitment in the final completion and cost report. For projects to be completed between 12 to 24 months, the permit holder shall report financial commitment in the first annual report. For projects to be completed in more than 24 months, the permit holder shall report financial commitment in the second annual progress report. The report shall contain information regarding expenditures and financial commitments. The State Board may extend the financial commitment period after considering a permit holder's showing of good cause and request for additional time to complete the project.
The Certificate of Need process required under this Act is designed to restrain rising health care costs by preventing unnecessary construction or modification of health care facilities. The Board must assure that the establishment, construction, or modification of a health care facility or the acquisition of major medical equipment is consistent with the public interest and that the proposed project is consistent with the orderly and economic development or acquisition of those facilities and equipment and is in accord with the standards, criteria, or plans of need adopted and approved by the Board. Board decisions regarding the construction of health care facilities must consider capacity, quality, value, and equity. Projects may deviate from the costs, fees, and expenses provided in their project cost information for the project's cost components, provided that the final total project cost does not exceed the approved permit amount. Project alterations shall not increase the total approved permit amount by more than the limit set forth under the Board's rules.
The acquisition by any person of major medical equipment that will not
be owned by or located in a health care facility and that will not be used
to provide services to inpatients of a health care facility shall be exempt
from review provided that a notice is filed in accordance with exemption
requirements.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, no permit or exemption is
required for the construction or modification of a non-clinical service area
of a health care facility.

Sec. 5.4. Safety Net Impact Statement.
(a) General review criteria shall include a requirement that all health care facilities, with the exception of skilled and intermediate long-term care facilities licensed under the Nursing Home Care Act, provide a Safety Net Impact Statement, which shall be filed with an application for a substantive project or when the application proposes to discontinue a category of service.
(b) For the purposes of this Section, "safety net services" are services provided by health care providers or organizations that deliver health care services to persons with barriers to mainstream health care due to lack of insurance, inability to pay, special needs, ethnic or cultural characteristics, or geographic isolation. Safety net service providers include, but are not limited to, hospitals and private practice physicians that provide charity care, school-based health centers, migrant health clinics, rural health clinics, federally qualified health centers, community health centers, public health departments, and community mental health centers.
(c) As developed by the applicant, a Safety Net Impact Statement shall describe all of the following:
(d) Safety Net Impact Statements shall also include all of the following:
(e) The Board staff shall publish a notice, that an application accompanied by a Safety Net Impact Statement has been filed, in a newspaper having general circulation within the area affected by the application. If no newspaper has a general circulation within the county, the Board shall post the notice in 5 conspicuous places within the proposed area.
(f) Any person, community organization, provider, or health system or other entity wishing to comment upon or oppose the application may file a Safety Net Impact Statement Response with the Board, which shall provide additional information concerning a project's impact on safety net services in the community.
(g) Applicants shall be provided an opportunity to submit a reply to any Safety Net Impact Statement Response.
(h) The State Board Staff Report shall include a statement as to whether a Safety Net Impact Statement was filed by the applicant and whether it included information on charity care, the amount of care provided to Medicaid patients, and information on teaching, research, or any other service provided by the applicant directly relevant to safety net services. The report shall also indicate the names of the parties submitting responses and the number of responses and replies, if any, that were filed.

Sec. 6. Application for permit or exemption; exemption regulations.
(a) An application for a permit or exemption shall be made to
the State Board upon forms provided by the State Board. This application
shall contain such information
as the State Board deems necessary. The State Board shall not require an applicant to file a Letter of Intent before an application is filed. Such
application shall include affirmative evidence on which the State
Board or Chairman may make its decision on the approval or denial of the permit or
exemption.
(b) The State Board shall establish by regulation the procedures and
requirements
regarding issuance of exemptions.
An exemption shall be approved when information required by the Board by rule
is submitted. Projects
eligible for an exemption, rather than a permit, include, but are not limited
to,
change of ownership of a health care facility and discontinuation of a category of service, other than a health care facility maintained by the State or any agency or department thereof or a nursing home maintained by a county. The Board may accept an application for an exemption for the discontinuation of a category of service at a health care facility only once in a 6-month period following (1) the previous application for exemption at the same health care facility or (2) the final decision of the Board regarding the discontinuation of a category of service at the same health care facility, whichever occurs later. A discontinuation of a category of service shall otherwise require an application for a permit if an application for an exemption has already been accepted within the 6-month period. For a change of
ownership among related persons of a health care
facility, the State Board shall provide by rule for an
expedited
process for obtaining an exemption. For the purposes of this Section, "change of ownership among related persons" means a transaction in which the parties to the transaction are under common control or ownership before and after the transaction is complete.
(c) All applications shall be signed by the applicant and shall be
verified by any 2 officers thereof.
(c-5) Any written review or findings of the Board staff set forth in the State Board Staff Report concerning an application for a permit must be made available to the public and the applicant at least 14 calendar days before the meeting of the State Board at which the review or findings are considered. The applicant and members of the public may submit, to the State Board, written responses regarding the facts set forth in the review or findings of the Board staff. Members of the public and the applicant shall have until 10 days before the meeting of the State Board to submit any written response concerning the Board staff's written review or findings. The Board staff may revise any findings to address corrections of factual errors cited in the public response. At the meeting, the State Board may, in its discretion, permit the submission of other additional written materials.
(d) Upon receipt of an application for a permit, the State Board shall
approve and authorize the issuance of a permit if it finds (1) that the
applicant is fit, willing, and able to provide a proper standard of
health care service for the community with particular regard to the
qualification, background and character of the applicant, (2) that
economic feasibility is demonstrated in terms of effect on the existing
and projected operating budget of the applicant and of the health care
facility; in terms of the applicant's ability to establish and operate
such facility in accordance with licensure regulations promulgated under
pertinent state laws; and in terms of the projected impact on the total
health care expenditures in the facility and community, (3) that
safeguards are provided that assure that the establishment,
construction or modification of the health care facility or acquisition
of major medical equipment is consistent
with the public interest, and (4) that the proposed project is consistent
with the orderly and economic
development of such facilities and equipment and is in accord with standards,
criteria, or plans of need adopted and approved pursuant to the
provisions of Section 12 of this Act.

construct, or modify a health care facility, the State Board staff
shall notify the applicant in writing within 10
working days either that the application is or is not substantially complete. If the
application is substantially complete, the State Board staff shall
notify the applicant of the beginning of the review process. If the application is not substantially complete, the Board staff shall explain within the 10-day period why the application is incomplete.
The State Board staff shall afford a reasonable amount of time as
established by the State Board, but not to exceed 120 days,
for the review of the application. The 120-day period
begins on the day the application is found to be
substantially complete, as that term is defined by the State
Board. During the 120-day period, the applicant may request
an extension. An applicant may modify the application at any
time before a final administrative decision has been made on the
application.
The State Board staff shall submit its State Board Staff Report
to the State Board for its decision-making regarding approval or denial of the permit.
When an application for a permit is initially reviewed by
State Board staff, as provided in this Section, the State Board shall, upon request by the applicant or an interested person, afford an opportunity for a public hearing within a reasonable amount of time
after receipt of the complete application, but not to exceed
90 days after receipt of the complete application. Notice of the hearing shall be made promptly, not less than 10 days before the hearing, by
certified mail to the applicant and, not less than 10 days before the
hearing, by publication in a newspaper of general circulation
in the area or community to be affected. The hearing shall
be held in the area or community in which the proposed
project is to be located and shall be for the purpose of allowing
the applicant and any interested person to present public
testimony concerning the approval, denial, renewal, or
revocation of the permit. All interested persons attending
the hearing shall be given a reasonable opportunity to present
their views or arguments in writing or orally, and a record
of all of the testimony shall accompany any findings of the State
Board staff. The State Board shall adopt reasonable rules and regulations
governing the procedure and conduct of the hearings.

Sec. 8.5. Certificate of exemption for change of ownership of a health care facility; discontinuation of a category of service; public notice and public hearing.
(a) Upon a finding that an application for a change of ownership is complete, the State Board shall publish a legal notice on 3 consecutive days in a newspaper of general circulation in the area or community to be affected and afford the public an opportunity to request a hearing. If the application is for a facility located in a Metropolitan Statistical Area, an additional legal notice shall be published in a newspaper of limited circulation, if one exists, in the area in which the facility is located. If the newspaper of limited circulation is published on a daily basis, the additional legal notice shall be published on 3 consecutive days. The applicant shall pay the cost incurred by the Board in publishing the change of ownership notice in newspapers as required under this subsection. The legal notice shall also be posted on the Health Facilities and Services Review Board's web site and sent to the State Representative and State Senator of the district in which the health care facility is located. An application for change of ownership of a hospital shall not be deemed complete without a signed certification that for a period of 2 years after the change of ownership transaction is effective, the hospital will not adopt a charity care policy that is
more restrictive than the policy in effect during the year prior to the transaction. An application for a change of ownership need not contain signed transaction documents so long as it includes the following key terms of the transaction: names and background of the parties; structure of the transaction; the person who will be the licensed or certified entity after the transaction; the ownership or membership interests in such licensed or certified entity both prior to and after the transaction; fair market value of assets to be transferred; and the purchase price or other form of consideration to be provided for those assets. The issuance of the certificate of exemption shall be contingent upon the applicant submitting a statement to the Board within 90 days after the closing date of the transaction, or such longer period as provided by the Board, certifying that the change of ownership has been completed in accordance with the key terms contained in the application. If such key terms of the transaction change, a new application shall be required.
Where a change of ownership is among related persons, and there are no other changes being proposed at the health care facility that would otherwise require a permit or exemption under this Act, the applicant shall submit an application consisting of a standard notice in a form set forth by the Board briefly explaining the reasons for the proposed change of ownership. Once such an application is submitted to the Board and reviewed by the Board staff, the Board Chair shall take action on an application for an exemption for a change of ownership among related persons within 45 days after the application has been deemed complete, provided the application meets the applicable standards under this Section. If the Board Chair has a conflict of interest or for other good cause, the Chair may request review by the Board. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, for purposes of this Section, a change of ownership among related persons means a transaction where the parties to the transaction are under common control or ownership before and after the transaction is completed.
Nothing in this Act shall be construed as authorizing the Board to impose any conditions, obligations, or limitations, other than those required by this Section, with respect to the issuance of an exemption for a change of ownership, including, but not limited to, the time period before which a subsequent change of ownership of the health care facility could be sought, or the commitment to continue to offer for a specified time period any services currently offered by the health care facility.
(a-3) (Blank).
(a-5) Upon a finding that an application to discontinue a category of service is complete and provides the requested information, as specified by the State Board, an exemption shall be issued. No later than 30 days after the issuance of the exemption, the health care facility must give written notice of the discontinuation of the category of service to the State Senator and State Representative serving the legislative district in which the health care facility is located. No later than 90 days after a discontinuation of a category of service, the applicant must submit a statement to the State Board certifying that the discontinuation is complete.
(b) If a public hearing is requested, it shall be held at least 15 days but no more than 30 days after the date of publication of the legal notice in the community in which the facility is located. The hearing shall be held in the affected area or community in a place of reasonable size and accessibility and a full and complete written transcript of the proceedings shall be made. All interested persons attending the hearing shall be given a reasonable opportunity to present their positions in writing or orally. The applicant shall provide a summary or describe the proposed change of ownership at the public hearing.
(c) For the purposes of this Section "newspaper of limited circulation" means a newspaper intended to serve a particular or defined population of a specific geographic area within a Metropolitan Statistical Area such as a municipality, town, village, township, or community area, but does not include publications of professional and trade associations.
(d) The changes made to this Section by this amendatory Act of the 101st General Assembly shall apply to all applications submitted after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 101st General Assembly.

(Section scheduled to be repealed on December 31, 2029)
Sec. 8.7. Application for permit for discontinuation of a health care facility or category of service; public notice and public hearing.
(a) Upon a finding that an application to close a health care facility or discontinue a category of service is complete, the State Board shall publish a legal notice on 3 consecutive days in a newspaper of general circulation in the area or community to be affected and afford the public an opportunity to request a hearing. If the application is for a facility located in a Metropolitan Statistical Area, an additional legal notice shall be published in a newspaper of limited circulation, if one exists, in the area in which the facility is located. If the newspaper of limited circulation is published on a daily basis, the additional legal notice shall be published on 3 consecutive days. The legal notice shall also be posted on the Health Facilities and Services Review Board's website and sent to the State Representative and State Senator of the district in which the health care facility is located. In addition, the health care facility shall provide notice of closure to the local media that the health care facility would routinely notify about facility events.
An application to close a health care facility shall only be deemed complete if it includes evidence that the health care facility provided written notice at least 30 days prior to filing the application of its intent to do so to the municipality in which it is located, the State Representative and State Senator of the district in which the health care facility is located, the State Board, the Director of Public Health, and the Director of Healthcare and Family Services. The changes made to this subsection by this amendatory Act of the 101st General Assembly shall apply to all applications submitted after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 101st General Assembly.
(b) No later than 30 days after issuance of a permit to close a health care facility or discontinue a category of service, the permit holder shall give written notice of the closure or discontinuation to the State Senator and State Representative serving the legislative district in which the health care facility is located.
(c)(1) If there is a pending lawsuit that challenges an application to discontinue a health care facility that either names the Board as a party or alleges fraud in the filing of the application, the Board may defer action on the application for up to 6 months after the date of the initial deferral of the application.
(2) The Board may defer action on an application to discontinue a hospital that is pending before the Board as of the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 102nd General Assembly for up to 60 days after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 102nd General Assembly.
(3) The Board may defer taking final action on an application to discontinue a hospital that is filed on or after January 12, 2021, until the earlier to occur of: (i) the expiration of the statewide disaster declaration proclaimed by the Governor of the State of Illinois due to the COVID-19 pandemic that is in effect on January 12, 2021, or any extension thereof, or July 1, 2021, whichever occurs later; or (ii) the expiration of the declaration of a public health emergency due to the COVID-19 pandemic as declared by the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services that is in effect on January 12, 2021, or any extension thereof, or July 1, 2021, whichever occurs later. This paragraph (3) is repealed as of the date of the expiration of the statewide disaster declaration proclaimed by the Governor of the State of Illinois due to the COVID-19 pandemic that is in effect on January 12, 2021, or any extension thereof, or July 1, 2021, whichever occurs later.

Sec. 10. Presenting information relevant to the approval of a permit or
certificate or in opposition to the denial of the application; notice of
outcome and review proceedings. When a motion by the State Board, to approve
an application for
a permit, fails to pass,
the applicant or the holder
of the
permit, as the case may be, and such other parties as the State Board permits,
will be given an opportunity to appear before the State Board and present
such information as may be relevant to the approval of a permit.
Subsequent to an appearance by the applicant before the State Board or
default of such opportunity to appear, a motion by the State Board to approve
an application for a permit which fails to pass
shall be considered denial of the application for a permit, as the case may be. Such action of denial or an
action by the State Board to revoke a permit
shall be communicated to the applicant or holder of the permit. Such person or organization shall be afforded an opportunity
for a hearing before an administrative law judge, who is appointed by the Chairman of the State Board. A written notice of a request for such hearing shall be
served upon the Chairman of the State Board within 30 days following
notification of the decision of the State Board. The administrative law judge shall take actions
necessary to ensure that the hearing is completed within a
reasonable period of time, but not to exceed 120 days, except for delays or
continuances agreed to by the
person requesting the hearing.
Following its consideration
of the report of the hearing, or upon default of the party to the hearing,
the State Board shall make its final determination, specifying its findings and
conclusions
within 90 days of receiving the written report of the hearing.
A copy of such determination shall be sent by certified
mail or served personally upon the party.
A full and complete record shall be kept of all proceedings,
including the notice of hearing, complaint, and all other documents in
the nature of pleadings, written motions filed in the proceedings, and
the report and orders of the State Board or hearing officer. All
testimony shall be reported but need not be transcribed unless the
decision is appealed in accordance with the Administrative Review Law,
as now or hereafter amended. A copy or copies of the transcript may be
obtained by any interested party on payment of the cost of preparing
such copy or copies.
The State Board or hearing officer shall upon its own or his motion,
or on the written request of any party to the proceeding who has, in the
State Board's or hearing officer's opinion, demonstrated the relevancy
of such request to the outcome of the proceedings, issue subpoenas
requiring the attendance and the giving of testimony by witnesses, and
subpoenas duces tecum requiring the production of books, papers,
records, or memoranda. The fees of witnesses for attendance and travel
shall be the same as the fees of witnesses before the circuit court of
this State.
When the witness is subpoenaed at the instance of the State Board, or
its hearing officer, such fees shall be paid in the same manner as other
expenses of the Board, and when the witness is subpoenaed at the
instance of any other party to any such proceeding the State Board may,
in accordance with its rules, require that the cost of
service of the subpoena or subpoena duces tecum and the fee of the
witness be borne by the party at whose instance the witness is summoned.
In such case, the State Board in its discretion, may require a deposit
to cover the cost of such service and witness fees. A subpoena or
subpoena duces tecum so issued shall be served in the same manner as a
subpoena issued out of a court.
Any circuit court of this State upon the application of the State
Board or upon the application of any other party to the proceeding, may,
in its discretion, compel the attendance of witnesses, the production of
books, papers, records, or memoranda and the giving of testimony before
it or its hearing officer conducting an investigation or holding a
hearing authorized by this Act, by an attachment for contempt, or
otherwise, in the same manner as production of evidence may be compelled
before the court.

such investigations as it deems necessary in connection
with an application for a permit, or in connection with a determination of whether or not
construction
or modification that has been commenced is in accord with the permit issued
by the State Board, or whether construction or modification has been commenced
without a permit having been obtained. The State Board may issue subpoenas
duces tecum requiring the production of records and may administer oaths
to such witnesses.
Any circuit court of this State, upon the application of the State Board
or upon the application of any party to such proceedings, may, in its
discretion,
compel the attendance of witnesses, the production of books, papers, records,

The State Board shall require all health facilities operating
in this State
to provide such reasonable reports at such times and containing such
information
as is needed by it to carry out the purposes and provisions of this Act.
Prior to collecting information from health facilities, the State Board
shall make reasonable efforts
through a public process to consult with health facilities and associations
that represent them to determine
whether data and information requests will result in useful information for
health planning, whether
sufficient information is available from other sources, and whether data
requested is routinely collected
by health facilities and is available without retrospective record review. Data
and information requests
shall not impose undue paperwork burdens on health care facilities and
personnel.
Health facilities not complying with this requirement shall be reported
to licensing, accrediting, certifying, or payment agencies as being in
violation
of State law. Health care facilities and other parties at interest shall
have reasonable access, under rules established by the State Board, to all
planning information submitted in accord with this Act pertaining to their
area.
Among the reports to be required by the State Board are facility questionnaires for health care facilities licensed under the Ambulatory Surgical Treatment Center Act, the Hospital Licensing Act, the Nursing Home Care Act, the ID/DD Community Care Act, the MC/DD Act, or the Specialized Mental Health Rehabilitation Act of 2013 and health care facilities that are required to meet the requirements of 42 CFR 494 in order to be certified for participation in Medicare and Medicaid under Titles XVIII and XIX of the federal Social Security Act. These questionnaires shall be conducted on an annual basis and compiled by the State Board. For health care facilities licensed under the Nursing Home Care Act or the Specialized Mental Health Rehabilitation Act of 2013, these reports shall include, but not be limited to, the identification of specialty services provided by the facility to patients, residents, and the community at large. Annual reports for facilities licensed under the ID/DD Community Care Act and facilities licensed under the MC/DD Act shall be different from the annual reports required of other health care facilities and shall be specific to those facilities licensed under the ID/DD Community Care Act or the MC/DD Act. The Health Facilities and Services Review Board shall consult with associations representing facilities licensed under the ID/DD Community Care Act and associations representing facilities licensed under the MC/DD Act when developing the information requested in these annual reports. For health care facilities that contain long term care beds, the reports shall also include the number of staffed long term care beds, physical capacity for long term care beds at the facility, and long term care beds available for immediate occupancy. For purposes of this paragraph, "long term care beds" means beds
(i) licensed under the Nursing Home Care Act, (ii) licensed under the ID/DD Community Care Act, (iii) licensed under the MC/DD Act, (iv) licensed under the Hospital Licensing Act, or (v) licensed under the Specialized Mental Health Rehabilitation Act of 2013 and certified as skilled nursing or nursing facility beds under Medicaid or Medicare.

accordance with Section 10. Requests for an appearance before the State Board must be made within 30 days after receiving notice that a fine will be imposed.
(d) All fines collected under this Act shall be transmitted to the State
Treasurer, who shall deposit them into the Illinois Health Facilities Planning
