HB3504 Enrolled LRB102 12778 CPF 18117 b
AN ACT concerning State government.
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
Section 5. The Department of Public Health Powers and
Duties Law of the Civil Administrative Code of Illinois is
amended by adding Section 2310-431 as follows:
(20 ILCS 2310/2310-431 new)
Sec. 2310-431. Healthy Illinois Survey.
(a) The General Assembly finds the following:
(1) The Coronavirus pandemic that struck in 2020
caused more illness and death in Black, Latinx, and other
communities with people of color in Illinois.
(2) Many rural and other underserved communities in
Illinois experienced higher rates of COVID-19 illness and
death than higher-resourced communities.
(3) The structural racism and underlying health and
social disparities in communities of color and other
underserved communities that produced these COVID-19
disparities also produce disparities in chronic disease,
access to care, and social determinants of health, such as
overcrowded housing and prevalence of working in low-wage
essential jobs.
(4) Traditional public health data collected by

HB3504 Enrolled - 2 - LRB102 12778 CPF 18117 b
existing methods is insufficient to help State and local
governments, health care partners, and communities
understand local health concerns and social factors
associated with health. Nor does the data provide adequate
information to help identify policies and interventions
that address health inequities.
(5) Comprehensive, relevant, and current public health
data could be used to: identify health concerns for
communities across Illinois; understand environmental,
neighborhood, and social factors associated with health;
and support the development, implementation, and progress
of programs for public health interventions and addressing
health inequities.
(b) Subject to appropriation, the Department shall
administer an annual survey, which shall be named the Healthy
Illinois Survey. The Healthy Illinois Survey shall:
(1) include interviews of a sample of State residents
such that statistically reliable data for every county,
zip code groupings within more highly populated counties
and cities, suburban Cook County municipalities, and
Chicago community areas can be developed, as well as
statistically reliable data on racial, ethnic, gender,
age, and other demographic groups of State residents
important to inform health equity goals;
(2) be collected at the zip code level; and
(3) include questions on a range of topics designed to

HB3504 Enrolled - 3 - LRB102 12778 CPF 18117 b
establish an initial baseline public health data set and
annual updates, including:
(A) access to health services;
(B) civic engagement;
(C) childhood experiences;
(D) chronic health conditions;
(E) COVID-19;
(F) diet;
(G) financial security;
(H) food security;
(I) mental health;
(J) community conditions;
(K) physical activity;
(L) physical safety;
(M) substance abuse; and
(N) violence.
(c) In developing the Healthy Illinois Survey, the
Department shall consult with local public health departments
and stakeholders with expertise in health, mental health,
nutrition, physical activity, violence prevention, safety,
tobacco and drug use, and emergency preparedness with the goal
of developing a comprehensive survey that will assist the
State and other partners in developing the data to measure
public health and health equity.
(d) The Department shall provide the results of the
Healthy Illinois Survey in forms useful to cities,

HB3504 Enrolled - 4 - LRB102 12778 CPF 18117 b
communities, local health departments, hospitals, and other
potential users, including annually publishing on its website
data at the most granular geographic and demographic levels
possible while protecting identifying information. The
Department shall produce periodic special reports and analyses
relevant to ongoing and emerging health and social issues in
communities and the State. The Department shall use this data
to inform the development and monitoring of its State Health
Assessment. The Department shall provide the full relevant
jurisdictional data set to local health departments for their
local use and analysis each year.
(e) The identity, or any group of facts that tends to lead
to the identity, of any person whose condition or treatment is
submitted to the Healthy Illinois Survey is confidential and
shall not be open to public inspection or dissemination and is
exempt from disclosure under Section 7 of the Freedom of
Information Act. Information for specific research purposes
may be released in accordance with procedures established by
the Department.
