Summary
Illinois requires Supportive Living Facilities to check three sex offender registries (instead of one) for all resident admissions and expand Health Care Worker Registry requirements to include all employees subject to background checks, not just CNAs. This is an administrative compliance change for facilities providing long-term care services.
Action Required
This policy applies to Supportive Living Facilities only and does not directly impact medical billing operations. No action required for typical healthcare billing teams unless your practice operates or bills for SLF services in Illinois.
