SB2739

SB2739 mandates the Illinois Department of Public Health to investigate state law violations when federal complaint surveys are incomplete.

SB2739 amends the Hospital Licensing Act by granting the Department of Public Health the authority to independently investigate complaints alleging violations of state law. If the Department conducts a federal complaint survey, it must determine if the survey also addresses state law violations. If not, the Department must initiate an independent investigation within 30 days after the federal survey. The Department is required to submit annual reports to the General Assembly by December 31 each year, detailing completed investigations, actions taken, and recommendations for improvements.
