Amends the Illinois Health Facilities Planning Act. Removes an exception for skilled and intermediate long-term care facilities licensed under the Nursing Home Care Act from providing a Safety Net Impact Statement as part of its general review criteria. Includes nursing homes operated by a county in a list of safety net service providers. Provides that facilities operated by a county shall provide in the facility's Safety Net Impact Statement the number of the facility's Medicaid and Medicare certified beds for the 3 fiscal years prior to the application. Requires the State Board Staff Report to include a statement of findings regarding the project's safety net impact under specified circumstances, and that the State Board Staff's assessment shall be considered in determining whether the project fulfills the public interest requirements. Amends the County Homes Division of the Counties Code. Removes a requirement that two-thirds of the county board is required sell, dispose of, or lease for any term, any part of the home properties, and requires a referendum before selling any home (rather than requiring a referendum only for homes that were erected after referendum approval by the voters of the county). Adds referendum language for the selling, disposition of, or lease of a home.
