HB4542

HB4542 amends the definition of "one's own home" for adults with mental disabilities in 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 can live alone, with parents, legal guardians, or relatives, or in a setting not subject to licensure with up to five unrelated adults who do not provide home-based services. The bill also defines "severe autism," "severe mental illness," "severe or profound intellectual disability," and "severe and multiple impairments," detailing the criteria for each condition.
