Illinois HB2774 establishes a statewide domestic violence hotline for 24/7 access to services.
Illinois HB2774 amends the Domestic Violence Shelters Act to mandate the Department of Human Services to provide a single, easy-to-use telephone number for public access to domestic violence services. The Department is authorized to contract with a lead entity to manage the hotline, ensuring it offers 24/7, multi-lingual, confidential referral services. The lead entity must have a history of providing effective, victim-centered services, be an Illinois 501(c)(3) non-profit, and offer technology to assist the deaf and hard of hearing.
