IL SB0557

Amends the Sexual Assault Survivors Emergency Treatment Act to allow federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) to provide medical forensic services to sexual assault survivors age 13 and older during Governor-declared public health emergencies affecting all 102 Illinois counties, and for 90 days thereafter

Requires FQHCs providing these services to have Department-approved sexual assault treatment plans, participate in areawide treatment plans with hospitals, and employ providers with minimum 10 hours of sexual assault training who undergo peer review by qualified medical providers

Establishes expedited 14-day timelines for Department review of FQHC treatment plans and 14-day deadlines for FQHCs to submit billing protocols to the Attorney General's office, compared to 60-day timelines for other facilities

Mandates FQHCs not open 24/7 post specific signage (minimum 14x14 inches with black background, white lettering) directing survivors to call 911 or go to the nearest hospital emergency department when closed

Creates parallel statutory sections effective until June 30, 2021 (repealed sections) and sections effective July 1, 2021 and after, implementing these FQHC provisions as part of the broader sexual assault survivor services framework
