Illinois HB5825 prohibits further reductions in bed capacity at State-operated facilities for persons with developmental disabilities.
Illinois HB5825 amends the Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities Administrative Act to ensure that the Department of Human Services does not reduce bed capacity at State-operated facilities for persons with developmental disabilities unless it is to protect the health or safety of recipients or employees. If the Department plans to restructure or transition a facility, it must make a reasonable effort to transition developmental disability beds to either State-operated minimum security psychiatric inpatient beds or State-operated forensic step-down units.
