A BILL FOR
SB2100 LRB101 09694 CPF 54793 b
AN ACT concerning public aid.
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
Section 5. The Illinois Public Aid Code is amended by
changing Section 5B-2 as follows:
(305 ILCS 5/5B-2) (from Ch. 23, par. 5B-2)
Sec. 5B-2. Assessment; no local authorization to tax.
(a) For the the privilege of engaging in the occupation of
long-term care provider, beginning July 1, 2011 an assessment
is imposed upon each long-term care provider in an amount equal
to $6.07 times the number of occupied bed days due and payable
each month. Notwithstanding any provision of any other Act to
the contrary, this assessment shall be construed as a tax, but
shall not be billed or passed on to any resident of a nursing
home operated by the nursing home provider.
(b) Nothing in this amendatory Act of 1992 shall be
construed to authorize any home rule unit or other unit of
local government to license for revenue or impose a tax or
assessment upon long-term care providers or the occupation of
long-term care provider, or a tax or assessment measured by the
income or earnings or occupied bed days of a long-term care
provider.
(c) The assessment imposed by this Section shall not be due

SB2100 - 2 - LRB101 09694 CPF 54793 b
and payable, however, until after the Department notifies the
long-term care providers, in writing, that the payment
methodologies to long-term care providers required under
Section 5-5.4 of this Code have been approved by the Centers
for Medicare and Medicaid Services of the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services and the waivers under 42 CFR 433.68
for the assessment imposed by this Section, if necessary, have
been granted by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services
of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
