Legislative Update
The Illinois House and Senate will reconvene on Monday, March 29th and be in regular session until the April 8th scheduled adjournment.
Negotiations surrounding nursing home assessment rate/reform continue to progress though the adjournment deadline provides looming pressure for a deal to be struck between all parties. Also progressing is discussion around nurse staffing agency regulation legislation. AALC along with other stakeholders, including the Illinois Department of Labor, met this week and are scheduled to meet again next week with Assistant Majority Leader Jay Hoffman in hopes of moving forward with the Nurse Agency Licensing Act reform.
The AALC lobbying team is actively engaged on all supportive living priority legislation and is working diligently to advance and protect supportive living community interests for the remainder of the legislative session.
