A BILL FOR
HB3392 LRB104 10477 BAB 20552 b
AN ACT concerning regulation.
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
Section 5. The Assisted Living and Shared Housing Act is
amended by adding Section 91 as follows:
(210 ILCS 9/91 new)
Sec. 91. Emergency plan; disaster preparedness drills.
(a) Each establishment shall have a written plan for
protection of all persons in the event of disasters, for
keeping persons in place, for evacuating persons to areas of
refuge, and for evacuating persons from the building when
necessary. The plan shall address the physical and cognitive
needs of residents and include special staff response,
including the procedures needed to ensure the safety of any
resident. The plan shall be amended or revised whenever any
resident with unusual needs is admitted. The plan shall also:
(1) provide for the temporary relocation of residents
for any disaster requiring relocation;
(2) provide for the movement of residents to safe
locations within the establishment in the event of a
tornado warning or severe thunderstorm warning issued by
the National Weather Service;
(3) provide for the temporary relocation of residents

HB3392 - 2 - LRB104 10477 BAB 20552 b
any time the temperature in residents' bedrooms falls
below 55 degrees Fahrenheit for 12 hours or more as a
result of a mechanical problem or loss of power in the
establishment;
(4) provide for the health, safety, welfare, and
comfort of all residents when the heat index/apparent
temperature, as established by the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration, inside the residents' living,
dining, activities, or sleeping areas of the establishment
exceeds a heat index/apparent temperature of 80 degrees
Fahrenheit;
(5) address power outages; and
(6) include contingencies in the event of flooding, if
located on a flood plain.
(b) Each establishment shall conduct at least 6 drills per
year on a bimonthly basis. At least 2 of the drills, involving
staff only, shall be conducted during the night when residents
are sleeping. All drills shall be held under varied conditions
to:
(1) ensure that all personnel on all shifts are
trained to perform assigned tasks;
(2) ensure that all personnel on all shifts are
familiar with the use of the firefighting equipment in the
facility; and
(3) evaluate the effectiveness of disaster plans,
procedures, and training.

HB3392 - 3 - LRB104 10477 BAB 20552 b
Drills shall include residents, except at night when
residents are sleeping, establishment personnel, and other
persons in the establishment.
Drills shall involve the actual evacuation of residents to
an assembly point specified in the emergency plan, unless the
community has a shelter-in-place protocol approved by the
local fire department and shall provide residents with
experience using various means of escape. If an establishment
has an evacuation capability classification of impractical,
those residents who cannot meaningfully assist in their own
evacuation or who have special health problems shall not be
required to participate in the drill. If weather or other
conditions present risk to residents for actual evacuation of
the entire building, the establishment shall conduct drills
that involve evacuating to designated sections or portions of
the building. These drills must simulate real evacuation
conditions and ensure that, with the personnel typically
available, the entire building could be evacuated if
necessary. As used in this subsection, "an evacuation
capability of impractical" means a situation where an
establishment has a high number of occupants with severe
mobility limitations so that a full evacuation within a
reasonable time frame is deemed nearly impossible.
