Summary

Amends the Illinois Public Aid Code. Provides that under the Medicaid program, beginning July 1, 2007, the Department of Healthcare and Family Services shall not reimburse for any transportation by medi-car or service car unless the provider of the transportation has certified that the driver has completed a safety training program approved by the Department to protect both the patient and the driver. Provides that the Department may by rule provide for an initial 6-month transition program to get all providers and drivers trained by January 1, 2008, or within 3 months of hiring. Provides that the training program may include a requirement for re-training every 3 years. Effective immediately.

Plain-language change summary

The recent changes to Bill SB 1350 include adding a provision that allows public transportation providers which receive federal funding to skip extra certification for their drivers and attendants, as these individuals are already required to undergo federal safety training. Removing the previous line now clarifies that only federally-funded providers are exempt from this requirement. This change is significant because it streamlines operations for these transportation providers, potentially reducing administrative burdens and ensuring compliance with federal standards rather than state-specific requirements.
