Introduced Text

Illinois HB4542 amends the definition of "one's own home" for adults with mental disabilities.

Illinois HB4542 amends the Developmental Disability and Mental Disability Services Act to redefine "one's own home" for adults with mental disabilities. It specifies that an adult with a mental disability lives in their own home if they reside alone, with their parents, legal guardian, or other relatives, or in a setting not subject to certain licensure laws with up to five unrelated adults who do not provide home-based services. The bill also outlines conditions for severe autism, severe mental illness, severe or profound intellectual disability, and severe and multiple impairments.
