2 Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
3represented in the General Assembly:
4 Section 1. This Act may be referred to as the Senior
5Independent Living Bill of Rights Act.
6 Section 5. Purpose. This Act is intended to establish new
7and strengthen existing rights for Illinois seniors residing in
8independent living arrangements, often found as one service
9component of continuing care retirement communities. Given
10that the Department on Aging estimates a 57% increase in State
11residents ages 60 and over from the years 2000 to 2030, the
12General Assembly recognizes the need to proactively pass a

16necessary to increase standards to safeguard seniors from
17potentially harmful, ambiguous, or unfair agreements

19retirement communities. The proposed reforms will further
20demonstrate the State of Illinois' commitment to protecting
21seniors in their homes, communities, and applicable long-term
22care establishments and facilities.
