HB 3160 — Summary (Public Act 104-0279)

Status: Enacted (Public Act 104-0279)
Bill number: HB 3160 | Legal citation added: 20 ILCS 1305/1-100 (new)
Introduced: Feb 21, 2025 (Rep. Katie Stuart) — Chief House sponsor later Rep. Norma Hernandez. Senate sponsor: Sen. Michael W. Halpin.
Governor approved: Aug 15, 2025. Effective date: Jan 1, 2026.

Purpose

Require the Illinois Department of Human Services (DHS) to give providers of home- and community‑based services (HCBS) clear, regular, and timely client‑level rate information for adult residential developmental disability settings so providers understand current reimbursement rates for each funded client.

Key provisions

  • DHS must provide each HCBS provider an updated, detailed rate sheet or rate summary at least once per year for each funded client the provider serves.
  • If the Department’s Division of Developmental Disabilities receives valid, completed, and correct provider‑based documentation that changes a client’s reimbursement rate, DHS must issue an updated client rate sheet to the provider within 60 working days of receipt.
  • Applies to adult residential developmental disability settings and other HCBS programs referenced in the new statutory section.

Who is affected

  • Primary: Providers of home- and community‑based services that serve funded adult residential developmental disability clients in Illinois.
  • Secondary: DHS (Division of Developmental Disabilities) — responsible for producing and issuing rate sheets.
  • Indirectly: Funded clients (through potential effects on service stability/administration) and county/state payers.

Timeline & legislative history (selected)

  • Introduced: Feb 21, 2025
  • Passed both chambers: May 22, 2025
  • Sent to Governor: Jun 20, 2025
  • Governor approved / Public Act 104‑0279: Aug 15, 2025
  • Effective: Jan 1, 2026

Potential impacts & considerations

  • Provider benefits: Greater transparency and predictability of client reimbursement, faster updates when rates change, improved billing and cash‑flow planning.
  • DHS impacts: Administrative workload to generate annual and post‑documentation rate sheets and to meet the 60 working‑day turnaround.
  • Providers must submit valid, complete documentation to trigger updated rates; the statute’s timeliness standard is specified in working days (not calendar days).

Note: Earlier bill text versions proposed a 45‑day turnaround and explicit requirement to disclose the full rate‑calculator formula; the enrolled/operative Public Act specifies 60 working days and does not include the formula‑transparency language.
