2018 House Bill 5505 / Public Act 557

Revise adult foster care facility licensure detail

Introduced in the House

Jan. 31, 2018

Introduced by Rep. Frank Liberati (D-13)

To revise the definition of an adult foster care facility that must obtain a state license, so as to exclude a facility with just one or two residents. Also, to establish that providing a room under a landlord and tenant arrangement does not by itself exclude a person from this licensure mandate if other details of the arrangement meet the licensure criteria. The bill would also increase license fees imposed on these facilities, and revise details of a number of rules governing them.
