Ill. Admin. Code tit. 77, § 1130.650 - Modification of an Application

a) Modifications to an application are allowed during the review period, prior to final HFSRB decision. Modifications (as defined in Section 1130.140) shall be classified as Type A or Type B. Type A modifications shall be subject to the public hearing requirements of the Act. If requested, a hearing would occur within the time allocated for HFSRB staff review. Type A modifications consist of any of the following:

1) A change in the number of beds proposed in the project.

2) A change in the project site to a new location within the planning area. A change in site to a location outside the planning area originally identified in the application is not considered a modification. It voids the application.

3) A change in the cost of the project exceeding 10% of the original estimated project cost.

4) A change in the total gross square footage (GSF) of the project exceeding 10% of the original GSF.

5) An increase in the categories of service to be provided.

6) A change in the person who is the applicant, including the addition of one or more co-applicants to the application.

7) Any modification to a project, including modifications specified in subsections (a)(1) through (a)(6), that, by itself, would require a certificate of need (CON) permit or exemption.

b) All other modifications, including those made by an applicant in conformance with and limited to the comments, recommendations or objections of HFSRB, are Type B modifications and are not subject to public hearing.

c) An applicant can modify a project only twice during the review period; provided, however, an applicant may modify a project at any time if the modification is in conformance with and limited to the comments, recommendations or objections of HFSRB.

d) If a modification is not in conformance with and limited to the comments, recommendations or objections of HFSRB, HFSRB staff shall:

1) have up to 60 days to review the modification and any supplemental information submitted pursuant to the applicable review criteria;

2) hold a public hearing if requested; and

3) submit its findings to HFSRB at the next regularly scheduled meeting that is at least 10 days following the completion of the HFSRB staff review.
