Illinois SB1470 establishes a statewide domestic violence hotline managed by the Department of Human Services.
Illinois SB1470 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 bill authorizes the Department to contract with a lead entity to manage and oversee the hotline, ensuring it meets specific qualifications. These include providing 24/7, multi-lingual, confidential services, offering the latest technology for deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals, and having a history of effective, victim-centered services.
