Bill Title: Reinserts the provisions of the engrossed bill with the following changes: Provides that one workgroup member shall be a representative of a statewide public health association (rather than a public health association). Provides that the following shall also be members of the workgroup: the Director of Healthcare and Family Services, or the Director's designee; the State Superintendent of Education, or the Superintendent's designee; the Director of Corrections, or the Director's designee; the Chair of the Criminal Justice Information Authority, or the Chair's designee; the Director of Commerce and Economic Opportunity, or the Director's designee; the Director of Aging, or the Director's designee; one representative of the Office of the Governor appointed by the Governor; one representative of a local health department located in a county with a population of less than 3,000,000; one representative of a statewide public health institute representing multisector public health system stakeholders; 2 representatives of organizations that represent minority populations in public health; and one representative of a statewide organization representing physicians licensed to practice medicine in all its branches. Removes language allowing workgroup members to be reimbursed for their travel expenses from funds appropriated for that purpose. Requires State agencies or entities to provide information in a timely manner in response to requests for information submitted by the workgroup, except where that information is otherwise prohibited from disclosure or dissemination by relevant legal authorities (rather than requiring State agencies or entities to provide information requested by the workgroup in a timely manner). Provides that the University of Illinois at Chicago School of Public Health, in consultation with the Department of Public Health and members of the workgroup, shall determine a focus area for the report on an annual basis. Requires the annual report and recommendations to be shared with the Department of Public Health and the State Board of Health and to be considered in the development of the State Health Improvement Plan every 5 years. Effective January 1, 2020.
