OLD BUSINESS
Mr. Corry addressed the board that the Amended Part 900 Rules has already been resolved. Mr. Corry then discussed the updating of agency names in ILCS 14-7.02. Mr. Corry moved that the board make an exception about the related and necessary materials to view the legislative text. Mr. Dirks seconded it. The motion passed in a unanimous vote. Mr. Corry went on to discuss that the list of agency names was out of date. For example, there is reference to Public Aid, which was renamed to Healthcare and Family Services, so that is the first change.
The second change is that Division of Developmental Disabilities and Division of Rehabilitation Services were separate agencies that got combined into the Department of Human Services (DHS). Currently, statute just says the secretary or designee of the Secretary for Human Services, which is one person. Historically, IPCRB has had two members from DHS and this recodifies that with some flexibility for Human Services. He went on to say that this was discussed with ISBE’s legislative affairs team. Mr. Corry moved that the board approve sending this language on to the ISBE legislative affairs team to continue the process of getting this statutory language updated. Ms. Hicks seconded. The motion passed in a unanimous vote.
The board was reminded to complete their Open Meetings Act Training.
NEW BUSINESS
Mr. Corry proposed moving the discussion of the Cost Report Requirements for Non-Approved Programs to the next meeting, due to the length of today’s meeting. Chairman Staley asked for a motion to table this item until the August 19, 2025, meeting. Mr. Corry motioned to table this discussion and keep it under New Business. Mr. Carlin seconded. The motion passed in a unanimous vote.
