(Springfield, IL) — Managers at Illinois’ veterans homes may soon have one day to alert lawmakers and the public of any new Legionnaires cases. An Illinois House panel yesterday approved a 24-hour notice requirement for new cases at any state veterans home. The rules would require a letter from the Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs to families, residents, and staff members as soon as a Legionnaires case confirmed. Thirteen veterans at the Quincy home have died, and dozens of others have gotten sick from Legionnaires since 2015.
