Reinserts the provisions of the engrossed bill with the following changes: In provisions concerning the Long-Term Stabilization Support Program and the Short-Term Stabilization Support Program, provides that an individual receiving program services may request alternate placement when the wants or needs of the individual, as reflected in the individual's personal plan, would be better served in another setting along the full spectrum of care. Provides that if an individual or other designated persons, if applicable, in conjunction with the independent service coordination agency, the provider, and clinical staff, believe the individual's wants or needs, as reflected in the individual's personal plan, would be better served in an alternate setting along the full spectrum of care, those opportunities shall be discussed as they are identified. Permits such a request to be made at any point during a specified time period or at the conclusion of that period, when assessing whether continued participation in the program would be appropriate for the individual. Removes provisions requiring the Department of Human Services to submit annual reports to the General Assembly and the Governor on the progress and effectiveness of the programs.

Last updated over 1 year ago

Amends the Biometric Information Privacy Act. Changes the term "written release" to "written consent". Provides that the written policy that is developed by a private entity in possession of biometric identifiers shall be made available to the person from whom biometric information is to be collected or was collected (rather than to the public). Provides that an action brought under the Act shall be commenced within one year after the cause of action accrued if, prior to initiating any action against a private entity, the aggrieved person provides a private entity 30 days' written notice identifying the specific provisions the aggrieved person alleges have been or are being violated. Provides that if within the 30 days the private entity actually cures the noticed violation and provides the aggrieved person an express written statement that the violation has been cured and that no further violations shall occur, no action for individual statutory damages or class-wide statutory damages may be initiated against the private entity. Provides that if a private entity continues to violate the Act in breach of the express written statement, the aggrieved person may initiate an action against the private entity to enforce the written statement and may pursue statutory damages for each breach of the express written statement and any other violation that postdates the written statement. Provides that a prevailing party may recover: against a private entity that negligently violates the Act, actual damages (rather than liquidated damages of $1,000 or actual damages, whichever is greater); or against a private entity that willfully (rather than intentionally or recklessly) violates the Act, actual damages plus liquidated damages up to the amount of actual damages (rather than liquidated damages of $5,000 or actual damages, whichever is greater). Provides that the Act does not apply to a private entity if the private entity's employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement that provides for different policies regarding the retention, collection, disclosure, and destruction of biometric information. Makes other changes.
