19		located and shall be for the purpose of allowing the applicant
20		and any interested person to present public testimony
21		concerning the approval, denial, renewal, or revocation of the
22		permit. All interested persons attending the hearing shall be
23		given a reasonable opportunity to present their views or
24		arguments in writing or orally, and a record of all of the

13		for the plan of the State to deal most effectively with
14		statewide health needs in regard to health care facilities.
15		(5) Coordinate with the Center for Comprehensive Health

19		this Act, at the time and date of the meeting that such action
20		is scheduled by the Board. State Board members shall provide

26		continuum of care with other care providers, modernization of

HB3133 Enrolled - 10 - LRB099 09158 JLK 29356 b
1		nursing homes, establishment of more private rooms,

12		approaches to the current bed need formula and Health Service
13		Area boundaries to encourage flexibility and innovation in
14		design models reflective of the changing long-term care
15		marketplace and consumer preferences. The Subcommittee shall
16		evaluate, and make recommendations to the State Board
17		regarding, the buying, selling, and exchange of beds between
18		long-term care facilities within a specified geographic area or
19		drive time. The Board shall file the proposed related
20		administrative rules for the separate rules and guidelines for

17		hospital to provide emergency and inpatient mental health
18		services required by facility consumers, and at least one
19		community mental health agency to provide oversight and
20		assistance to facility consumers while living in the facility,
