Illinois HB1895 amends the Child Care Act of 1969 by defining "group home for the developmentally or intellectually disabled" as a facility providing residential care to up to eight children with developmental or intellectual disabilities. The bill adds provisions for these homes, including licensing standards, staff age requirements, and transportation rules. It mandates that no group home for the developmentally or intellectually disabled shall hire staff under 19 years old. The Department of Human Services must ensure compliance with these standards, and failure to do so results in fines.
