Effective July 1, 2016.House Committee Amendment No. 1 Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Amends the Illinois Act on the Aging. In a provision concerning the Community Care Program, establishes the following rate increases for the purpose of increasing the wages paid by vendors to their employees who provide homemaker services: on July 1, 2016, rates shall be increased to $19.23 per hour, for the purpose of increasing wages by at least $1.25 per hour; on July 1, 2017, rates shall be increased to $21.32 per hour, for the purpose of increasing wages by at least $1.25 per hour; on July 1, 2018, rates shall be increased to $23.41 per hour, for the purpose of increasing wages by at least $1.25 per hour; and on July 1, 2019, rates shall be increased to $25.08 per hour, for the purpose of increasing wages by at least $1 per hour. Requires the Department to pay an enhanced rate under the Community Care Program to those in-home service provider agencies that offer health insurance coverage as a benefit to their direct service worker employees consistent with the mandates of Public Act 95-713; and that for State fiscal year 2017, the enhanced rate shall be $1.77 per hour and shall be adjusted using actuarial analysis based on the cost of care, but shall not be set below $1.77 per hour. Effective July 1, 2016.Fiscal Note, House Committee Amendment No. 1 (Dept. on Aging) Under both proposed changes, the cost of providing services to the aging population will rise significantly. During the next four fiscal years, the proposed rate increase is estimated to result in $1.1 billion in additional program and administrative costs. This estimate is predicated upon projected homemaker hours during the specified fiscal years. The costs incurred by this bill are not included in the Governor's introduced budget and are not in keeping with what the state can currently afford. Should the increases take effect, the sustainability of programs reliant upon Homemaker hours will be directly impacted.State Mandates Fiscal Note, House Committee Amendment No. 1 (Dept. of Commerce & Economic Opportunity) This bill does not create a State mandate. Pension Note, House Committee Amendment No. 1 (Government Forecasting & Accountability) HB 5764 (H-AM 1) will not impact any public pension fund or retirement system in Illinois. Judicial Note, House Committee Amendment No. 1 (Admin Office of the Illinois Courts) This bill would neither increase nor decrease the number of judges needed in the State.Land Conveyance Appraisal Note, House Committee Amendment No. 1 (Dept. of Transportation) No land conveyances are included in this bill, therefore, there are no appraisals to be filed.State Debt Impact Note, House Committee Amendment No. 1 (Government Forecasting & Accountability) This bill would not change the amount of authorization for any type of State-issued or State-supported bond, and, therefore, would not affect the level of State indebtedness.Balanced Budget Note, House Committee Amendment No. 1 (Office of Management and Budget) This bill will have a fiscal impact on the Department in term of both internal administrative costs and program operating costs. During the next four fiscal years, the proposed rate increase is estimated to result in $1.1 billion in additional program and administrative costs. This increase in costs is not included in the Governor's FY17 proposed budget and there are no other proposals to reduce spending or increase revenues to offset these increased costs. Should the increases take effect, the sustainability of programs reliant upon Homemaker hours will be directly impacted. Housing Affordability Impact Note, House Committee Amendment No. 1 (Housing Development Authority) This bill will have no effect on the cost of constructing, purchasing, owning, or selling a single-family residence. 2/10/2016HouseFiled with the Clerk by Rep.
