AN ACT concerning regulation.
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
Section 5. The Nurse Agency Licensing Act is amended by
changing Sections 12 and 14.3 as follows:
(225 ILCS 510/12) (from Ch. 111, par. 962)
Sec. 12. Liability of nurse agencies. Health care
facilities are responsible for supervising nurse agency
employees assigned or referred to the facilities; however,
where a health care facility is found liable for an injury to a
patient or resident because of a negligent act performed by a
nurse or certified nurse aide employed, assigned, or referred
by the nurse agency, the health care facility has a right to be
compensated by the nurse agency for any and all expenses,
fines, or damages incurred related to any liability for the
nurse agency's negligence, including negligent hiring.
Negligent hiring by a nurse agency shall be the failure of an
agency to follow the procedures outlined in Section 13 of this
Act. This provision shall not otherwise limit in any way the
actions a health care facility may have against a nurse agency
at law or in equity. This Section is not subject to enforcement
by the Department.
