certificates of recognition. The State Board shall make or
cause to be made such investigations as it deems necessary in
connection with an application for a permit or an application
for a certificate of recognition, or in connection with a
determination of whether or not construction or modification
which has been commenced is in accord with the permit issued by

HB5069 - 26 - LRB100 15828 MJP 30937 b
the State Board or whether construction or modification has
been commenced without a permit having been obtained. The State
Board may issue subpoenas duces tecum requiring the production
of records and may administer oaths to such witnesses.
Any circuit court of this State, upon the application of
the State Board or upon the application of any party to such
proceedings, may, in its discretion, compel the attendance of
witnesses, the production of books, papers, records, or
memoranda and the giving of testimony before the State Board,

The State Board shall require all health facilities
operating in this State to provide such reasonable reports at
such times and containing such information as is needed by it
to carry out the purposes and provisions of this Act. Prior to
collecting information from health facilities, the State Board
shall make reasonable efforts through a public process to
consult with health facilities and associations that represent
them to determine whether data and information requests will
result in useful information for health planning, whether
sufficient information is available from other sources, and
whether data requested is routinely collected by health
facilities and is available without retrospective record
review. Data and information requests shall not impose undue
paperwork burdens on health care facilities and personnel.

HB5069 - 27 - LRB100 15828 MJP 30937 b
Health facilities not complying with this requirement shall be

access, under rules established by the State Board, to all

facility questionnaires for health care facilities licensed
under the Ambulatory Surgical Treatment Center Act, the
Hospital Licensing Act, the Nursing Home Care Act, the ID/DD
Community Care Act, the MC/DD Act, or the Specialized Mental
Health Rehabilitation Act of 2013, or the End Stage Renal
Disease Facility Act. These questionnaires shall be conducted
on an annual basis and compiled by the State Board. For health
care facilities licensed under the Nursing Home Care Act or the
Specialized Mental Health Rehabilitation Act of 2013, these
reports shall include, but not be limited to, the
identification of specialty services provided by the facility
to patients, residents, and the community at large. Annual
reports for facilities licensed under the ID/DD Community Care
Act and facilities licensed under the MC/DD Act shall be
different from the annual reports required of other health care
facilities and shall be specific to those facilities licensed
under the ID/DD Community Care Act or the MC/DD Act. The Health
Facilities and Services Review Board shall consult with

HB5069 - 28 - LRB100 15828 MJP 30937 b
associations representing facilities licensed under the ID/DD
Community Care Act and associations representing facilities
licensed under the MC/DD Act when developing the information
requested in these annual reports. For health care facilities
that contain long term care beds, the reports shall also
include the number of staffed long term care beds, physical
capacity for long term care beds at the facility, and long term
care beds available for immediate occupancy. For purposes of
this paragraph, "long term care beds" means beds (i) licensed
under the Nursing Home Care Act, (ii) licensed under the ID/DD
Community Care Act, (iii) licensed under the MC/DD Act, (iv)
