Last Action
Statutes Amended In Order of Appearance
Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Nurse Agency Licensing Act. Provides that any person who violates any provision of the Act or the rules adopted under the Act shall be subject to a civil penalty of up to $10,000 per occurrence payable to the Department of Labor for the purpose of enforcing the Act (rather than a licensee or applicant who violates any provision of the Act or the rules adopted under the Act shall be subject to a civil penalty of $10,000 per occurrence).
Senate Committee Amendment No. 1
Adds reference to:
225 ILCS 510/4from Ch. 111, par. 954
225 ILCS 510/5from Ch. 111, par. 955
Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Amends the Nurse Agency Licensing Act. Provides that no nurse agency (instead of person) may lawfully establish, operate, maintain, or advertise in the State unless the nurse agency (instead of person) is licensed under the Act by the Department of Labor. Makes conforming changes in provisions concerning investigations and civil penalties. In provisions concerning an application for a license, provides that the Department may impose a fine of up to $500 for the submission of false or misleading information (instead of the submission of false or misleading information is a petty offense punishable by a fine of $500). Provides that the Department may at any time, and shall upon receiving a complaint from any interested person, investigate any nurse agency (instead of person) licensed or applying for a license under the Act suspected of violating any provision of the Act. Provides for a civil penalty of up to $10,000 (rather than a civil penalty of $10,000) per occurrence for a violation of the Act. Makes other changes. Effective immediately.
