NURSNG HOME-IDENTIFIED OFFENDR

Amends the Counties Code, the Abuse Prevention Review Team Act, the Nursing Home Care Act, and the Probation and Probation Officers Act. Provides that all deaths in licensed long-term care facilities and all deaths in hospitals in cases in which the deceased had been transferred to the hospital from a long-term care facility within the preceding 5 days must be reported to the coroner of the county in which the facility is located; requires that the coroner be notified immediately (instead of promptly) in the case of certain deaths. Repeals a provision repealing the Abuse Prevention Review Team Act on July 1, 2006. Requires a nursing home to request a criminal history background check on all residents; requires a nursing home to fax a resident's name and criminal history information to the Department of Public Health if the resident is an identified offender. Requires the Department of Public Health to conduct an Identified Offender Risk Analysis with respect to a nursing home resident who is an identified offender. Authorizes the Director of Public Health to waive certain requirements concerning notice to nursing home residents, employees, and visitors that an identified offender is a resident of the nursing home. Deletes a requirement that a probation officer provide copies of certain reports to certain facilities and State agencies. Makes other changes. Effective immediately.
