Illinois § 25

§ 25.

Issuance of licenses. (a) All Supportive Residences shall be licensed by the Department. The procedures for obtaining a valid license are set forth in this Section. (b) Application for a license shall be made on forms provided and in the manner prescribed by the Department. There shall be no application fee. (c) Upon receipt of an application filed in proper order, the Department shall review the application and shall make an on-site evaluation of the proposed Supportive Residence. (d) The evaluation shall be conducted by a qualified surveyor representing the Department. (e) If the Department has determined on the basis of available documentation and a preliminary on-site evaluation, if the Department deems that such an evaluation is necessary, that the Supportive Residence is in substantial compliance with the Act and its rules and regulations, it shall issue a probationary license. This license shall be valid for a period not to exceed 6 months from the date of issuance. Within 30 days before the expiration of the probationary license, a qualified surveyor representing the Department shall conduct an on-site final evaluation. If, at the time of the final evaluation, the Supportive Residence is in substantial compliance with this Act, the Department shall issue a regular license which replaces the probationary license. (f) A regular license shall normally be valid for a one year period from the date of issuance. The Director, however, may issue licenses or renewals for a period of not less than 6 months nor more than 18 months in order to distribute the expiration dates of the licenses throughout the calendar year. A license is not transferable, but may be issued for more than one facility. (g) As a condition of the issuance or renewal of a license, the applicant or licensee shall file a statement of ownership, which shall be public information and which shall be available from the Department. The statement of ownership shall include the name, address, telephone number, occupation or business activity, business address and business telephone number of the person or entity who is the owner of the Supportive Residence and every person or entity who owns the building in which the Supportive Residence is located, if other than the owner; and, the address of any facility, wherever located, any financial interest of which is owned by the applicant or licensee, if the facility were required to be licensed if it were located in this State.
