Illinois Appellate Court
Civil Court
Whistleblower Act
Plaintiff, maintenance director at nursing home, sufficiently alleged that he was terminated in violation of Illinois Whistleblower Act, after he told IDPH inspector that alteration had not been made to sidewalk slope, and that slope violated IDPH regulations for handicap access. Focus of Whistleblower Act is on employee's reasonable belief of violation of regulation, and not on what government agency already knows or could discover. (LYTTON and McDADE, concurring.)
