Bill Title: Amends the Illinois Health Facilities Planning Act. Requires the State Board to publish legal notice for change of ownership of a health care facility, discontinuation of a health care facility, or discontinuation of a category of service on 5 consecutive days (rather than one day or 3 consecutive days) in a newspaper of general circulation in the area or community to be affected. Provides that upon a finding that an application to close a health care facility is complete, the State Board shall hold a hearing (rather than merely afford an opportunity to request a hearing). Provides that upon a finding that an application to discontinue a category of service is complete, the State Board shall hold a public hearing before an exemption is issued. Makes conforming changes.
