Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Substance Use Disorder Act. In provisions requiring the Department of Human Services to establish a public education program regarding gambling disorders, requires the program to (i) promote public awareness regarding the impact of gambling disorders on individuals, families, and communities and the stigma that surrounds gambling disorders and (ii) use screening, crisis intervention, treatment, public awareness, prevention, in-service training, and other innovative means to decrease the incidence of suicide attempts related to gambling disorders or gambling issues. Requires the Department to select the statement regarding obtaining assistance with a gambling disorder, which each licensed gambling establishment owner shall post, and each master sports wagering licensee shall include, on the master sports wagering licensee's portal, Internet website, or computer or mobile application. Permits the Department to provide advice to State and local officials on gambling disorders; to support gambling disorder prevention, recognition, treatment, and recovery projects; to collaborate with other community-based organizations, substance use disorder treatment centers, or other health care providers engaged in treating individuals who are experiencing gambling disorders; and to perform other actions. Allows the Department to award grants to create or support local gambling prevention, recognition, and response projects. Makes other changes.
House Floor Amendment No. 3
Deletes reference to:
Adds reference to:
740 ILCS 45/4.1from Ch. 70, par. 74.1
740 ILCS 45/8.1from Ch. 70, par. 78.1
Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Amends the Crime Victims Compensation Act. Requires the Attorney General to, with the consent of an applicant, request and obtain supporting documentation required to verify a claim for compensation. Includes provisions regarding supporting documentation for applications and claims. Provides that to receive compensation under the Act, the appropriate law enforcement officials were notified within 180 days (rather than 72 hours or 7 days for specified offenses) of the perpetration of the crime allegedly causing the death or injury to the victim. Allows a mental health provider to seek reimbursement for an evaluation if the mental health provider is not currently providing treatment to the applicant, and will not seek reimbursement from the program for any additional treatment of the applicant. Provides that if a mental health provider who provides a certification form seeks reimbursement from the program for treatment of the applicant, or an applicant seeks reimbursement for payments made to the mental health provider for treatment, compensation for services provided by the mental health provider shall be limited to Medicare-approved rates. Prohibits a mental health provider from seeking reimbursement for services provided to an applicant if the applicant has not exhausted the benefits reasonably available under any governmental, medical, or health insurance program. Provides that if an applicant was receiving treatment from a mental health provider before the commission of the crime, and the mental health provider provides a certification form, the mental health provider may only seek reimbursement from the program for treatment that is in addition to the treatment the applicant was already receiving before the commission of the crime. Provides that furnishing an evaluation or furnishing another document as evidence of notification or cooperation may not be construed to waive any confidentiality or privilege that may exist between the victim or applicant and a third party. Provides that the Court shall issue a voucher for payment to the Comptroller of an emergency award after receiving notice of the decision to grant the emergency award, and if the Comptroller is not able to release the voucher for payment within 10 business days of receiving a voucher for payment from the Court, the Comptroller shall notify the Attorney General. Provides that if the amount of emergency compensation exceeds the actual amount the applicant incurs, the difference shall be repaid to the State. Provides that the Office of the Attorney General shall include a designated section in the application form for the applicant to request an emergency award. Makes other changes.
House Floor Amendment No. 4
Amends the bill, as amended by House Amendment No. 3. Provides that a claim is timely filed if the appropriate law enforcement officials were notified within 30 days (rather than 180 days) of the perpetration of the crime allegedly causing the death or injury to the victim. Provides that, if the notification was made more than 30 days (rather than 180 days) after the perpetration of the crime and the applicant establishes that the notice was timely under the circumstances, the Attorney General and the Court of Claims may extend the time for reporting to law enforcement. Provides that, if the Comptroller is not able to release the voucher for emergency payment within 10 business days of receiving a voucher for payment from the Court, the Comptroller shall notify the Court of Claims (rather than the Attorney General).
