Summary

The bill establishes the Global Hospital Budget Authority within the Illinois Department of Public Health and gives it a board that can hire its own staff. The Authority will set annual “global budgets” that participating hospitals receive from payers for inpatient and hospital‑based outpatient services. It also changes licensing rules to allow alternative staffing arrangements, such as telemedicine or affiliation agreements, when patient safety is maintained.
