DeLaRosa casts Yes vote on HB4728 to increase transparency in disability facility management
Rep. Margaret A. DeLaRosa (D-42nd) supported HB4728 during the 104th General Assembly on May 31, 2026, according to the Illinois House. The bill, which focuses on disclosure and asset management regulation for facilities serving people with developmental disabilities, passed with a unanimous 117-0 vote in the House.
The bill's official summary describes the measure as: "DD FACILITY-ASSET MGMT COMPANY."
The analysis below is compiled from the bill text and aims to clarify its key provisions.
Essentially, the legislation requires, by Dec. 31, 2026, that state agencies licensing facilities and providers for individuals with developmental disabilities set rules for comprehensive quarterly reporting when ownership or influence comes from asset management companies. The law demands advance notification and documentation for any significant transfer of assets or control, prohibits deals that burden facilities with excessive debt, prevent dividend payments funded by loans, or the payment of certain fees that could risk financial stability. Violations are classified as unlawful acts under the Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act, and must be reported to the attorney general and labor groups, publicly posted, and published on related agency websites. The act becomes effective immediately upon enactment.
The most recent action recorded for HB4728 was 'Senate Committee Amendment No. 1 House Concurs'.
DeLaRosa earned a Bachelor of Science from DePaul University.
DeLaRosa, a Democrat, won election to represent Illinois' 42nd House District in 2025, succeeding former representative Terra Costa Howard.
Legislation in Illinois follows a multi-step legislative process, starting with introduction in either chamber, then progressing through committees, floor debate, and votes in the House and Senate. Bills ultimately are sent to the governor for signature or veto. The General Assembly runs on a two-year cycle, with thousands of bills introduced each session, though only a portion are enacted into law.
